Shukriyada
(Thank you) - This work took birth
some 13 years ago. My first solo debut album, a collection
of spiritual songs (bhajans) in dedication to SRI SATYA
SAI BABA and Varsha Chauhan. My love of life and my
inspiration Varsha was responsible for lighting up the
spiritual fire which got me to compose, arrange, write
the lyrics and sing the bhajans. The title bhajan Shukriyada
came from a description of the place called Puttaparth
where Sri Sai Baba resides. The picture, as Varsha described,
was painted in my mind with gold sands in the entire
tranquil area of his ashram where every morning at around
4 am a student of his would sit and play his Bansuri
(a bamboo flute) as the sun was rising. I have tired
to create that picture in a musical form for all those
who have not had the opportunity to visit the place.
This album was produced with a charitable thought where
all the proceeds would go towards providing blankets
for people who slept out on pavements and wherever else
needed.
