Saregama releases the album ‘Bhavartha Mauli’ this year on the auspicious occasion of Gudi Padwa and through this, it brings back living legend Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar, along with her brother and renowned composer Pt. Hridaynath Mangeshkar. The works of the revered Marathi saint and poet of 13th century Sant Dnyaneshwar have been combined in the album to make a collection of 10 devotional Marathi songs.
Saregama had released an album called Dyaneshwar Mauli more than 50 years ago with Lata Mangeshkar which had several of the saint’s devotional songs and poetry in her own voice and this was set to music by the legendary composer and her brother, Pt. Hridaynath Mangeshkar. The lovers of music and spiritual poetry are presented with these ten immortal Marathi compositions through this new album, titled ‘Bhavaarth Mauli’. Lataji herself explains the true essence of the song in each song with a special commentary.
Speaking on the launch of this album, Lata Mangeshkar said, “It is an absolute honour and a privilege that I am able to present the poetic works of the great saint and poet Sant Dnayeshwar to this generation. Through this album called Bhavaarth Mauli, my brother Hridaynath and I have made a humble attempt to introduce each of these poems by a commentary explaining and unravelling the spirituality & essence of the poetry. I hope the audience has the same beautiful spiritual experience listening to these beautiful compositions just as we have had in bringing them to you”.
Pt. Hridaynath Mangeshkar said, “Working on the album ‘Bhavaarth Mauli’, which is a compilation of the immortal compositions of Sant Dnyaneshwar recorded by Lata Didi and me more than 50 years ago, and now being presented anew, embellished with a commentary by Lata Didi herself, has been a humbling experience for me. There is such richness in the poetry of the great saint and to have Lata Didi bring them to life through her voice is indeed a marvellous way to reach out to a wider audience”.
On the Saregama Marathi YouTube channel and on music streaming platforms, the ‘Bhavaarth Mauli’ has released.
