Rabindrasangeet

Here is one of the most smoothening and pacifying music existing in our Indian culture. Started in the 1800’s by Rabindranath Tagore ,most of which translated from their Scottish versions, are undoubtedly the element to look out for. The lyrics being mostly related to nature and music in its purest form gives much more than satisfaction.Only by listening to it (and not understanding the lyrics) itself brings such sense of joy that when one truly understands and relates to the the lyrics, it is addictive. It is like a drug that only Ranbindra Sangeet afficionado’s understand. They undoubtedly provide a true sense of being and theres nothing like listening to Ranbindrasangeet with a cup of tea in the early morning. It totally alleviates your entire day!

These days however,with the daily rut and nuisance all over, most people have complicated their lives. Ranbindrasangeet essentially connects you with your inner being and with nature. It is sadly restricted to the East India and the Bengalis settled elsewhere. We must make an effort to publicise it more so that this piece of art gets more recognition ,something that is very well deserved. Shantiniketan(West Bengal) is the land of Rabindrasangeet. So guys, where do we start from?

These are a few songs that one can begin with and understand the meaning in totality. Then nothing at all can separate you from your Peace Of Mind.This essentially shows you the meaning of being materialistic and just being.Most of these have also been translated into Hindi songs song by the great Kishore Kumar .Also most of them have been attempted by legendary singers like Lata Mangeshkar,Asha Bhosle, Kavita Krishnamurthy,Sunidhi Chauhan, Shaan and so on.
