Bhairavi (Thumri style): Nikhil Banerjee (Sitar), Nikhil Ghosh (Tabla)

[@moussaelijahmosesndiaye]

Nikhil Banerjee was among the greatest musicians showing to the world what is in the deep soul and heart of India... In Senegal we are so fascinated by Indian culture

This is a gift from god to humanity on earth!

[@shuam01]

No one, I repeat no one can come close to Pandit Nikhil Banerjee. God took him too early.

[@LievenVP]

Ever since I was a teenager I listened to music from China, Japan, India... There is something so profoundly beautifull in all Eastern music... But Indian music Always has remained the music I love the best... Still at 54... True beauty!!!

[@pgrnair]

+Lieven Van Paemel : I agree. I have also had my journey in many genres of music- Jazz, Western Classical, Celtic, Turkish etc. But nothing compared to the sublime experience of listening to Hindustani music. There is something intensely spiritual about it. Nikhil Banerjee is without a shadow of doubt the greatest sitarist of last century. His renditions have ethereal quality.

[@MrSarosham]

Basically Indian classic music was purely devotional and was kind of expression of love and devotion to god. Now..who ever plays now with the same feeling will have lasting effects on souls. without this it will become Bollywood music.

[@DC-zi6se]

Indian music was never "purely devotional". It was improvisational, devotional or otherwise. Ultimately all classical music is an outgrowth and refinement of folk music.

[@MegaCirse]

The bucolic touch, tinged with melancholy of this lament causes an abyssal diving movement in my unconscious so that I end up feeling apathy before the problems, not as an escape, but as an exercise in self-knowledge 🤠

[@karunamoydasgupta415]

Pandit Nikhil Banerjee had been blessed by Almighty. When listen to Raag I feel heavenly peace of mind & beyond the sky.

[@sudhakariyer14]

Absolutely heavenly... nikhilda the great. So sad that after mastering sitar and gaining genius status.... He left so early. Can't imagine how much we would have been blessed if he would have lived another 20 years.

[@ishavasya]

Pandit Nikhil Banerjee and Ustad Vilayat Khan are true masters of Bhairavi. Transcendental music.

[@vedgupta7611]

Imagine sun is just rising in the east in early morning and Nikhil da is welcoming a new day with his eternal music on sitar in Bhairavi raag

[@oliviaschneider5538]

I love it so much! This is a piece of magic..

[@komitaskomitaskomitas]

Raga Bhairavi is often referred to as the king of morning Ragas. It produces a rich atmosphere. The Rishabh and Dhaivat used here are oscillating which is strongly recommended in this Raga and it makes the Raag mood intense. Rishabh and Pancham are occasionally skipped in Aaroh like: S G m d P or G m d N S'. But in Avroh, Rishabh and Pancham are Deergh like S' N d P or P m G m r r S. In Avroh, Gandhar is skipped like: G m r S. Madhyam is an important note. Arohama: Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa' Avarohana : Sa' Ni Dha Pa Ma Ga Re Sa Vadi:Ma Samavadi: Sa

[@sharmilabiswas1969]

[@vaijayantihardas1609]

[@sitaroutreachministry6289]

Sublime! Why is the Bhairavi so powerful?

[@pgrnair]

+Nicholas McGill : Lleisurely, half mournful and half serene, with the special sadness of the human voice, the notes of Raga Bhairavi make it one of the most heavenly and endearing of all ragas. A raga that can even melt mountains of snow. So fanatically loved and widely embraced is Raga Bhairavi that its elemental imprint is firmly fixed in the mind of even the untutored listener.

[@probablepossible4323]

@@sudhakariyer14 Nikhil Banerjee was a wonder to shine in his own right with two stars already shining bright in the sky at the same time - Pandit Ravi Shankar and Ustad Vilayat Khan. This makes Nikhil Kaka a wonder musician. However, each one of them were genius and were unparalleled in their own styles. "Baaj" refers to the work of the right hand, mainly of the strokes. Ravi Shanker had a right hand that all maestros wished for but no one had and in Annapurna Devi's words he had the best right and left had balance.
