I did know from childhood that Panditji is a legend of Indian Classical musical...but seldom did I bother to listen to him or know what he sang....NOW, after having listened this Heavenly Composition a few days back.... I can only regret what I had missed in my life..Life can be more beautiful if you start your day with listening to legends like Pandjit Jasraj ji or Bhismsen Joshi ji .......We are blessed to be born in their era...Trying to catching up fast what I missed...
Madhurashtakam, is a Sanskrit ashtakam in devotion of Krishna, composed by the Hindu Bhakti saint Vallabha. Vallabha was a Telugu Brahmin who propagated Pushtimarg, which emphasizes on the unconditional bhakti and seva of Krishna. According to legend, when Krishna himself appeared in front of Vallabha, on the midnight of Shravana Shukla Ekadashi, the philosopher composed the Madhurashtakam in praise of the deity. Rendered by devine voice Shri Pandit Jasraj.
My daughter was very hyper active tonight and by the grace of Krishna, this appeared in my recommendation list. I played it after Maithili Thakur's Mahishasurmardini strotam and Kali Kavach. My baby calmed down and now sleeping in my lap.. I heard these three stotras in my pregnancy time also I recited these everyday during those days so I think she understands and is familiar with music and lyrics by that time. Jai maa Radha Jai Shri Krishna
My son is 2 year old and he always want to listen madhurashtakam specially this version . We both just feel devine to listen this song . Thanks for uploaded .
i have cried more for this man's death than anyone from my family... My frist experience of samadhi was under the influence of his music...i owe pandit/sadguru my awakening and remembering. His smile, his voice, his spirit fills this universe of mine. He is now everywhere, in such capacity as he was not before. May his awakening be shared through his music to all of you. God has blessed us all already with enlightenment, we are too stupid to see it however.
i heard first in 2006, i lost it, luckily i could get back now, hare krishna, bhagwan srikrishna is with me, best rendition of madhurashtakam, so good to listen, we will go to vrindavan just by listening this kirtan. i listen to this daily.
Panditji, I am listening to your music from my college days. You have stopped your music to go back to Almighty. You have left here a treasure of music. Please accept my silent 'Pranam' to your creativity.
I can't stop my self to be cry..
We gonna miss you pandit ji..
Ishwar aap ki aatma ko apne charno me stan de.
