[@vasudevokhde52]

Ultimate jugalbandis have been gifted to us by these two legends. Perfect unison, perfect understanding, perfect renditions. All of those were extremely popular in their times. Sadly, we hardly get to listen to those iconic performances these days. The younger generation might not even be aware that such gems exist in our musical heritage.

[@shrikulkarni010]

Those who disliked the pure magical Raag don't know what is purity..Salute to the greatest Ustad

[@dipikachakrabkrty8384]

A very increadible fusion by our great legends ustadji and panditji .. I am very much priviliged to introduce myself as a citizen of India. Whenever I hear this jugalbandi I feel that I had lost in the ocean of peace. Music is a form of meditation and a media of peace and concentration.....A spellbounding recording..

[@sujoyurs]

One of the best jugalbandi pair in Indian classical instrumentals. Too good.

[@abduranvi]

This is the jugalbandhi, which I listened again, again and again ---, on Emirates' sound system, from Seattle to Dubai. For 14 hours non stop flight, Allah knows how many times I listened this masterpiece again and again. In the skies, I thanked Allah for Ustad Bismillahkhan's life on Earth. Pundit V G Jog is superb. Allah ki Niyamat Shaandar hai ji on both of Masters. Subhaan Allah Er Ashok Bhalla Surrey BC Canada

[@GUNIDAS]

His greatness as a musician is beyond any doubt. A shehnai player of his calibre is yet to appear. But he was also a great human being. As a devout Muslim, he prayed five times a day and did not give any concerts in the days of Muharram. But he was also perfectly secular in outlook and happily performed in Hindu temples. Such combinations of great musician and great human being are indeed very rare.

[@alexgabriel5423]

He practiced the Religion of Music. He was a Priest of that Religion.

I appreciate Gunidas' comment. No one has so far reached his calibre. Thanks

[@ugc1784]

Indian classic music is way ahead of religion. Tentacles of religion will not be able to catch up with it.

[@VirenderGautamVinu]

wHAT MUSIC-IT IS PURE BLISS. THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE FEELINGS AFTER LISTENING FOR FIRST 2-3 MINUTES. VGJOG WAS ALSO A GAINT, HOW HE COMPLEMENTS THE USTAD. I HAVE HEARD USTAD MANY A TIMES. HE WAS CHILDLIKE IN HIS DISPOSITION, A RARE GEM, BORN ONCE IN A CENTURY. HE WAS TRULY BHARAT RATNA.

[@jyothisharma2180]

Can't be more greatful to God Almighty to have blessed this Universe with such genuises. Everytime i listen to this particular jugalbandhi, I am spell bound. touches the soul.

[@MrKanthikumar]

No matter how many times one listens to this great master one is never satisfied. The raga Behag evokes strong emotions in me:my old father(he was 65 when I was born)would hum charming Kambhoji into my 4 yr-old ears. When I listen to Bismillah(even the name evokes mellifluousness, doesn't it?)doing the Jaiajaivanti I start crying -- reaching out to my happy childhood with my softspoken and sweet singer father of mine.The Deshakshi song of Swati Tirunal brings about the same joy and sadness as B

This is brilliant music. The way the two instruments of melody just don't clash at all in anyway although their styles vary quite a lot and the tabla just binds it up so well Masha Allah all three of them are truly blessed.

I discovered this documentary on Ustad Bismillah Khan Saheb - "Meeting a Milestone (Sangemeel Se Mulaqat) - Goutam Ghose (1989)". I am sure some of the audience here would be interested in watching it. I have provided the link to the documentary on the description of this video. I loved the documentary and it is so aptly named... he is truly a milestone. My eyes are filled with tears in witnessing such love. Only love and devotion can explain his greatness and yet so humble and human...

[@GUNIDAS]

1. Ustad Bismillah Khan was a devout Shia Muslim, but he represented the Indian variety of Islam developed by the great Sufi saints. This variety of Islam is based great spiritual values. It preaches love for all human beings irrespective of their religion. Getting in tune with God through poetry and music is a part of this Islam, as of Sikhism and most sects of Hinduism. Great Muslim saints like Kabir, Shah Husain and Bulleh Shah openly condemned religious fundamentalism and intolerance.

South India's Muthuswami Dikshitar goes to Kashi and comes across Jaijaiwanti; he comes back home and pens a lovely "Chetashri Balakrishnam" in a slightly modified called "Dwijavanti" and fills the hearts of serious Carnatic music rasikas far and wide with joy and cheer. There is a song "Akhilandeshwari" in Dwijavanti wrongly attributed to the Dikhshitar great; however, it is beautiful and popular. Even the great Lalgudi Jayaraman played that song often, though, Madurai Mani Iyer never sang it as he went on to sing Chetashri for long time. MDR for some reason never sang it. Bismillah Khan remains the very best of our Hindustani music. In the nowadays India one must pay respect to maha ustads such as Bismillah Khan while living in mostly Hindu Kashi went on singing Hindustani songs mostly on Hindu gods even as he minded his religious business praying at a mosque nearby his residence. No one bothered; no marches on the streets; all happily lived their own lives; now Sabarimala and all these religious conflicts out in sad display even in the progressive state of Kerala. Even his stage demeanor was the most placentious. Every now then he would sport a white Gandhi cap. Even in multi colours his cap had the Gandhi cap design any way. He looked magnificent in any colour. Shehnai has that innate design in its sounds to remind the listener of the life and sounds and yes the dust and poverty of North Indian villages of innocent, poor and loving people. There is so much sadness from poverty, and yet there is cheerfulness in their meager lives. As the crescendo doubles up that is what we are reminded of: even in despair there is a lot to cheer : just being alive, I believe.
