A childhood favourite, a Kabir bhajan sung by Kumar Gandharva, which has been very popular. Was really happy to find the text online recently. KG’s unmatched rendition follows below.
उड जायेगा हंस अकेला-2
जग दर्शन का मेला ।।धृ.।।
जैसे पात गिरे तरुवर के
मिलना बहुत दुहेला

Bhoopali or Bhoop is one of those Ragas that I can never tire of-though it may be considered done to death. It is an essential tonic for the soul. No wonder it’s called Mohanam in the South-an apt name for it.
Here is Kumar Gandharva singing a bandish (composition), Mora Jhanjh Mandilara, in Bhoopali, in his [...]
