Musical Rendition of 'Shri Ramcharitmanas' on All India Radio

Dear Friends, 

Today I am going to tell you about a beautiful composition!! It is the musical rendition of Sant Tulsidas's 'Shri Ramcharitmanas'. I guess it was made many years back, probably in 1970s or 80s. After that , All India Radio keeps on playing it anytime during their daily programmne schedule. 

The music director the series is Mr. Satish Bhatia, who has done such a marvellous work!! 

The composition has a basic background music (theme), on which everyday some lines of Ramcharitmanas text are sung. 

Mostly all the famous singers have lend their voice in this composition, filled with devotion!! 

Now I will tell you how I come to know about it. These days everyday morning AIR FM Gold (106.4 megahertz in Delhi) plays 10 min from this priceless composition from 6:50 - 7 am.  At first I could not understand the meaning of the lines sung by the eminent singers, as the text is written in Avadhi language. But this composition is Unique in the sense that before each day's musical presentation, they tell the story of that part. So we have an idea of the content of the musical beforehand :). Such a great maturity on the part of the director!!! 

I am amazed to FEEL the Bliss generated by the music!! Thee writing itself is like Divine Nectar , as we all know, and the music makes it even more sweet!! All the devotees need to listen to it to FEEL the depth of Tulsidasji, and to get immersed in the devotion of the Lord!!! Wonderful Creation indeed!!! I am short of words to appreciate this great composition !! 

Also credit goes to All India Radio, as they are playing it in all their channels / stations for so many years!!! 

My salute to all the singers, music directors and to all the persons related with this great venture!!! ....
