I write this blog post with wet eyes, uncontrollable tears blinding my vision, listening to Puriya of Sangit Martand Pandit Jasraj.
This evening time of Puriya brought with it a news from New Jersey USA , that our "Basant" has left this world quietly at 90 !
Pt Jasraj will never leave us .. he will be alive ever with his , Puriya , his Basant and गोविंद दामोदर माधवेति !
गोविंद दामोदर माधवेति ...
अब थारे बिन कुण मोरी राखे लाज ...
हे तो तेज महान कहावत .. तिमिर हरो महाराज !
- पुरिया
For me he is the true "Basant" .. ever green !
और राग सब बने बाराती .. दूल्हा राग बसंत !
