A Tribute To PT. Bhimsen Joshiji

A TRIBUTE TO PT. BHIMSEN JOSHIJI

A doyen of Hindustani Music Classical
An unbeatable Emblem for his mellow Khayal,
A Guruji worshipper
A Kirana-Gharana Practioner,
A home fleer
An infallible struggler,
A Tansenian scholar
A Divinity showerer,
An angelic ariste rarer
An enviable inspirer,
A devout follower of Raghavendra Swami
A humble, unassuming pursuer of spiritualism,
A hypnotizer
A mesmerizer,
A sorcerer
A fascinator,
A reverberater
An enchanter,
An enthraller
An enrapturer,
A triller
A thriller,
A pacifier
A ruler,
A perfectionist
A humanist,
An inimitable, invincible Sur-Samrat
A possessor of a heart great and virat,
An irreplaceable Maestro immortal
A snarer by his unique recital,
An optimist
A transcendentalist,
A monumental music icon
A legendary master – India’s great scion,
A subduer of the crippling adversity
A creator of his aural university,
A riser from the humblest to the celestial
A founder of Sawai Gandharva Musical Festival,
A “Mile Sur Mera Tumhara” renderer
A bigamist and a fast, reckless car driver,
A groovy disciple of the venerable Swami Gandharva
A synonym of ebullience, knack, eminence, humility and love,
A saintly Classical singer
To the mundane earth the ecstasy bringer,
Ah! Closed eyes, ceased breath and sewed up lips forever…
Dropping a thick pal of gloom, grief and irreparable loss everywhere…..

Yes, we do mourn and pay for thy renascence
To retain thy legacy and revive the same ambience!
