Bhairav Se Bhairavi
 

“What touches the soul…is Sangeet”

Music is commonly referred as “Sangeet”, in Adhyatma. It is considered as one of the most profound methods for exploring the mind. It forms a complete “Sadhana” in itself.

Sangeet transcends beyond the mundane levels of existence. To joy… happiness… bliss… and divine meditative state.

It is a language without the words.

Can this be paraphrased in words and the experience deciphered?

“Bhairav Se Bhairavi” attempts to do this.

"Bhairav Se Bhairavi” is an exposition of classical  Indian musical tradition, based on the eternal cyclical clock of day and night. It commences with raga Bhairav, a morning raga, and concludes with Bhairavi, sung at the dawn.

Raga,Todi,Sarang, Marwa,Bhimpalas, Yaman, Bageshree are few of the “Ragas” which form the backbone of this musical endeavor.

The programme encompasses a wide range of musical forms like Classical Bandish, Tappa to semi classical and light compositions like Bhajan, Gazal, Folk and Classical based film music.


Marathi 
or Hindi/English are the supporting languages for this musical journey.

This show is also being presented at Paris for the European Marathi Sammelan in July 2008.

The show has two versions, one in which the compering is done in Marathi (Bhairav te Bhairavi and one where the compering is in English or Hindi. English compering is essentially done abroad to appeal wider audiences. However as we are basically speaking about Hindustani philosophy and music the music score is in Hindi. The marathi version is slightly different musically as it also includes Natyageet and Bhavgeet
