Bhajan

\"Bhajan Vaishnav, Jana to Tene Kamije\" is a devotional bhajan performed by sitar and surbahar virtuoso Baluji Shrivastav. The track appears as the sixth composition on the album Classical Indian Sitar & Surbahar Ragas, released on CD by ARC Music in 1999.

The recording spans 7 minutes and 16 seconds and exemplifies Shrivastav’s interpretation of the bhajan tradition within the framework of North Indian classical music. The composition draws from the Vaishnav devotional repertoire, a genre rooted in the worship of Lord Krishna and associated with the Bhakti movement. Instrumental arrangement centers on the sitar and surbahar, with Shrivastav employing intricate alaap, jor, and jhala sections characteristic of the dhrupad-influenced style.

The album Classical Indian Sitar & Surbahar Ragas compiles traditional raga-based performances and devotional pieces, positioning Shrivastav’s work within both the classical and spiritual domains of Indian music. The label ARC Music, known for its focus on world and traditional music, distributed the release internationally. Additional details regarding accompanying artists, recording location, or specific raga structure for this track remain undocumented in available sources.
