00:00Every instrument is important. Violent, flute, you know, sarani, sitar, solo. Every instrument is important. But some instruments really touch
00:16your soul.
00:18I say that for Nina, which is largely related to the song,
00:22the third time on the phone, there is no one else.
00:29But in such a program, we have to understand what contributions are made in our Sanskriti,
00:40in a way, Gasha ka, Sanjeev ka, Literature ka,
00:48and then, what do you want to do?
00:52Iska mahol,
00:56soul ke guard na ne muda.
00:58You see me, I feel very happy
01:01to see school children
01:04come for such program
01:06and get a feel of what is going on.
01:11You saw him sing this particular song
01:15which Ramana played on Srina
01:18and there is a particular line
01:21which really connects you to the Divine
01:24and courts up to the Goddess saying
01:27please remove that bandhan, the earthly bandhan for me
01:31and I want to go with you.
01:34That's the line which Mukherjeevichita sang
01:38about Mother Meenakshi
01:39but he made a Sushya sing that
01:41and that's when it is believed that he
01:44passed away or attained,
01:46was given a divine free to the God
01:48in a place called Ettaipuram.
01:52Incidentally, that place is also known for
01:55Sudhamani Bharati, a great poet from Ramana,
02:01who lived the last century.
02:03So these are eminent people
02:05who contributed to India's culture.
02:08So when you sit and listen,
02:10talk to people like this,
02:12you not really know about the beauty of the verse,
02:14the knowledge that this particular
02:17individual walking
02:18probably when he was just 15-20 years old
02:22to come to Kashi to acquire knowledge
02:24and go back.
02:26You people who live in Kashi,
02:28who belong to Kashi,
02:29are so blessed.
02:31Really, you are so blessed.
02:34From all over the country,
02:36people came here seeking knowledge.
02:38And then they went back to their respective places.
02:43So this place,
02:45where you have this wonderful university today,
02:48thanks to Mahamana,
02:50has always been a centre of learning,
02:54centre of knowledge,
02:57and centre where people came to meet with one another
03:01and acquired knowledge.
03:02Thank you very much.
