I am posting this request here as I do not find any such section listed. I feel that we need greater participation from other North Indian states, like Maharashtra, Gujarath/Rajathan, Punjab, UP, and especially Bengal and Assam/Orissa. Smt.MS sang keerthans from all the languages of India including Urdu. She has sung Bengali songs also. I needed help in the lyrics and meaning of D.L.Roy's 'Pathithoddharini Gangae'. I could not get much help from our forum members. I think, some of the forum activists are from Pondichery and because of its association with Aurbindo Ashram, there must be quite a few Bengali scholars there just as there are more people there who know French.
Jayadeva Ashtapathi is not an alien work for CM artistes. Smt MS has sung a few. Though we have HM section, there seems to be no Rabindra Sangeeth section. . As there are many ragams common to HM, CM , it would help if all lyrics are given in devanagari script ( besides English). .. Are there songs by Chaithanya Mahaprabhu which can be popularized among CM rasikas in Tamilnad? and Sikh keerthans ? Our forum does not seem to have active members from Maharashtra even. We seem to be more oriented towards music lovers ( tamil/telugu/Kannada) in USA and Western World than other states in our own country... Suggestions to correct this imbalance are requested from forum members. (Incidentally, I got excellent help from a tamil rasika ( not in this forum) familiar with Bengali). in getting the meaning of the song.
