Padma Shri Anuradha Paudwal and deejay-composer DJ Sheizwood have collaborated to come up with a new recreation of the classic bhajan “Raghupati Raghav”. The song will be launched on the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary on Wednesday.
DJ Sheizwood has recreated the melody of the song through a symphony of flute, santoor, guitar and drums, to connect with the youth and also enhance the impact of chanting.
“‘Raghupati Raghav’ is a devotional song loved by all. The bhajan goes on to affirm the presence of “Sita Ram”, showering praise on them, and concluding this simple truth: God and Allah are your names/May God bestow wisdom on all. If the Father of the Nation didn’t believe in diversification of caste and religion, then why should we! On his birthday let us not only revisit his bhajan but also follow what he preached,” Sheizwood said.
