Pandit Jitendra Abhishek: The immortal voice, Bhajans of dedication and classical music gave spirituality to spirituality

New -Delhi, September 20 (IANS). Pandit Jitendra Abhisheki is a name in the world of Indian classical music that will always be remembered for the revival of Bhakti Ras, Hindustani Ragas and Marathi Theater. Not only was Abhisheki a deep knowledge of classical music, but he took sacred music to new heights. His life was a symbol of the practice of music, where spirituality was recorded by the Raga series. Pandit Jitendra Abhisheki, born 21 September 1929 in Mangeshi Village of Goa, was a great singer, musician and scholar. Abhisheki was born in a musical family. His father Balwantrao was the priest and Kirtanakar of the Mangeshi Temple. He was a disciple of the famous singer Master Dinanath Mangeshkar, who was the father of Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. This family tradition has been wrapped in music ground since childhood. Mangeshi -Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, was the center of his music life. He obtained a degree in Sanskrit literature, which is a clear look at his compositions. He hid many gurus for music education. Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar learned the singing singing, the flute that played from Pandit Pannalal Ghosh, and the nuances of the grocery Gharana of Ustadia Khan. In addition, he joined the disciple tradition of Pandit Bhaskarbuva Bakhale. All this gurus has become columns that enrich their choir. Abhisheki’s music journey was manifold. In the 1950s, he joined All India Radio, Mumbai, where he worked with several musicians. His compositions became known for radio shows. But his real incredible came to the marathi theater. In the 1960s, when Marathi Theatrical Music was endangered, Abhisheki revived it. His music direction in plays such as ‘Songetet Natak’ and ‘Mrichtikik’ gave a new life to the theater. He has composed hundreds of hymns in marathi, Hindi and Konkani languages, which still echo in temples and homes. His famous hymns ‘Shri Ram Tarak Mantra’ and ‘Hari to Tatsat’ are excellent examples of sacred music. In Hindustani classical music, he was a penetration of Khyal, Dhrupad and Tarana. His singing of the grocery store Gharana had a unique confluence of emotion and rhythm. Abhisheki’s creativity was infinite. In his singing, the wonder of 22 Shrutis was heard. He also gave music in films, such as ‘Jhapatlela’ (1981) and ‘I Hansi I Raat’. But he gave preference to classical music. He emphasized music education and joined many institutions. He received the Padma Shri in the 1990s, which was proof of his contribution. But Abhisheki Ji loved simplicity. He said earlier: “Music is a call to soul, it should not be done business.” Pandit Jitendra Abhisheki, expert on the scientific side of the Ragas, Shruti, Swara and Language, passed away on November 7, 1998. Nearly three decades of his death, his influence remains intact. If the music becomes commercial today, Abhisheki’s simplicity is missed. In 69 years from 1929 to 1998, he left an indelible mark. The Sangete Natak Akademi and the Government Government established awards in his name. This is the source of inspiration for young singers. -Ians Sch/GKT
