On Tuesday, Lata Mangeshkar launched her album, Bhavartha Mauli, to mark Gudi Padwa. It consists of 10 devotional Marathi tracks rendered by the legend, and composed by brother Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar. The songs are based on the works of Marathi saint and 13th-century poet Sant Dnyaneshwar. “It was recorded by Lata didi and me more than 50 years ago. They are now being presented embellished with a commentary by didi,” said Hridaynath, who is now keen to reach out to a wider audience, especially today’s generation.
Sant Dnyaneshwar is regarded as one of India`s greatest poet, philosopher and saint. He was the forerunner of the bhakti movement in Maharashtra and encouraged people to live a simple life and to avoid all the lavish living to attain God. During his lifetime of 21 years, he wrote many pieces of literature like `Dnyaneshwari`, `Amrutanubhav`, `Chaangdev Paasashti`, `Bhavaarth Deepika` and several Abhang and Virahini (devotional songs and poetry.)
