(Shyama) Ma ki amar

Kathamriter Gan – 1 is a studio album of Bengali devotional and classical music released under the label Ramakrishna Mission Saradapitha, Belur Math. The collection features compositions rooted in the Bengali Bhakti and Rabindra Sangeet traditions, performed in a semi-classical vocal style. The album appeared in CD format, though the exact release year remains undocumented in available sources.

The track Shyama Ma ki amar serves as the tenth entry on the album. With a duration of 5 minutes and 20 seconds, the song exemplifies devotional lyricism dedicated to the goddess Shyama, an epithet for Kali or Durga in Bengali tradition. Vocalist Sri Mahesh Ranjan Som delivers the rendition, employing a melodic structure that blends Baul and Kirtan influences with classical raga-based phrasing. The composition emphasizes devotional themes of surrender and maternal divine love, characteristic of the Shakta bhakti movement in Bengal.

The album Kathamriter Gan – 1 aligns with the artistic and spiritual legacy of Belur Math, a monastic center associated with the Ramakrishna Order. The production reflects the institution’s emphasis on preserving traditional devotional music while adapting it for contemporary audiences. No additional details regarding session musicians, arrangers, or recording locations are publicly verified. The label’s catalog often includes works tied to the teachings of Swami Vivekananda and the cultural initiatives of the Ramakrishna Mission, though this album’s specific thematic or historical context beyond its devotional focus is not explicitly outlined in accessible records.
