Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur sings Raga Khokar

[@sajidullah]

The trance that Malik sahib can enjoy from singing these raags cannot be attained from just listening to them.

[@ArvindGupta-ce4ik]

HE DID RAAG VISTAR WITH SUCH FINESSE THAT HE BECAME UNPARALLED. SINGER OF HIS TIMES.

[@chidambardeshpande1716]

Many many thanks to Dattaji. From Dharwad Karnataka.

[@abhirupsarkar3320]

One of the greatest vocalists of all times.

[@dattaji_music]

True. Very very true!

[@arupsengupta2454]

Perhaps THE greatest. Sage seer and a rishi

[@girish3011]

या गळ्यातच जादू आहे, प्रत्येक बंदिष पुन्हा पुन्हा ऐकावीशी वाटते.

[@vivekanandpv]

Looks like this is the mixture of Savani and Khamaj. Excellent as usual.

[@chidambardeshpande1716]

Really we will submerge in this Raaga completely. Great Vaahaa.

[@girish3011]

What a melody! What a way to Badhat! What an ease in Palte! Amazing!

[@chidambardeshpande1716]

Thanks to Dattaji . Very soothing Anand Khokar raag. Looks simple, but difficult to render. I am from Dharwad, M Mansurji place.

What a nice raga and incredible rendition by the one and only P.T. Malikarjun M.! Thanks for uploading!

[@christianebrunelle7695]

C'est très beau. Ça me rappelle un peu Kumar

[@pgrnair]

I think he was one of the greatest musicians who ever lived on this planet...His is the only voice I get never tired off. Must be God's own voice..

[@hemantghayal7709]

Once Ustad Alladiya Khansaheb was lost in thoughts and came up with this beautiful raga. Khokar is Kho-kar. (after having lost in thought). This is what he named it.

[@gnpantulu1919]

Very interesting ! खो कर !!

[@petermanuel6703]

Are you saying that AK invented this rag? It is listed in the RadhaGovindSangitsar (ca. 1800, Jaipur).

[@akakirde9452]

@@petermanuel6703 Raags can be named the same but be totally different - but this is actually a type of bihagada

[@Libra19911]

What a rendering....great voice

[@mahuadeb]

EXCELLENT

[@kiyoto123]

legend !

[@rputran]

Brilliant

[@arunnamin]

amazing

[@yogeshchandratrivedi3186]

This flows beautifully. Can anyone sing this without inner peace!! Is it the notes of raga which sooth us, or is it the call of soul? Can we analyse this bliss and give logic? I do not know.

[@dattaji_music]

Yogeshchandra Trivedi Good question. This composition I gather is due to Usatd Alladiya Khan Saheb. Raga itself is extremely beautiful. Panditji's voice quality, the development of the Bandish and the emotional intensity poured in his rendering all contribute to the almost mystical experience for the listner. In my view almost all of Panditji renderings of all Ragas contain BHAKTI RAS- He seems to worship GOD through his singing!

[@rbardapurkar]

Wow.....these amazing artists tried to spread these rare and beautful ragas.......alas....now they are on the verge of extinction!!!

[@dattaji_music]

Many will agree with your comment. Thanks for the feedback.

[@kuldeepdongre3209]

Sorry for the edit - this is Chandni Bihag...G M P D n S" n D P - signature is often repeated...

[@harshakanak1978]

Can anyone please publish the bandish...I know only the opening line "Aaja Ananda Mukha Chandra"..don't know the rest :-(

[@VinayakVaidya]

me too would like to learn

[@kuldeepdongre3209]

Seems like Raag Bihagda...aaj ananda mukha chandra.. :-)

[@gauraokhandagale1857]

Yes it is

[@gauraokhandagale1857]

It's actually bihagada but Ustaad Alladinya Khan Sahab was lost in his music and due to "muktant vichran " Whole world get introduced to new raga .
