Krithi "Samarasa bhavana"

[harimau]

All of a sudden, out of the blue, a song I heard long, long ago popped into my head yesterday.

GNB used to sing it but I am sure I haven't heard it on a tape recording. Perhaps from an old gramophone plate in some public place.

The song begins "Samarasa bhavana" and is in Abheri/Bhimplas.

Can some kind soul fill in details such as lyrics, composer, tala, etc.?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks aaaaabbbbb.

I remember hearing GNB sing samarasa bhAvana bhArata sAmrAjya sweekrta tanayuvarEnya jaya hE jaya hE jaya hE though Sri Lakshman Ragde has posted the pallavi as samarasa bhAvana bhArata sAmrAjya jaya hE jaya hE jaya hE.

Harimau,
Thanks for reminding me of this old song. This was a popular song of GNB. Yes. As far as I know it goes like you say- I thought it was 'Sreekrita (or sweekrita) tanaya varenya jayahe'. I have forgotten the rest of the lyrics.

[Lakshman]

This is the text from his book Vishva Madhura Kirtanai.

samarasa bhAvana. rAgA: bhImpalAs. Adi tALA. Mayuram Vishvanatha Shastri

P: samarasa bhAvana bhArata sAmrAjya jaya hE jaya hE jaya hE

Dear Sri Ragde,

If you listen to GNB at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dnp3KiKP8cw you will find that GNB sings samarasa bhAvana bhArata sAmrAjya sweekrta tanayuvarEnya jaya hE jaya hE jaya hE.

I am not saying you are wrong in using the book.

Perhaps somebody can put talam and figure out if the words sweekrta tanayuvarEnya are necessary.

[Lakshman]

Thanks harimau.

Thanks harimau.

Are there songs other than this one and Jayathi Jayathi Bharatha Matha about India written by Mayuram Viswanatha Sastri?

Thanks in advance.

[Lakshman]

The other songs are:
bhArata janani-noTTu and

shAnta ahimsAmUrtE. rAgA: hindustAnibhairavi. Adi tALA.

P: shAnta ahimsAmUrtE samudita samarasa kIrtE sandisha mE shAnti shAnti shAntim
A: parama hita karOhi bhavAn patita janAvana bhagavAn nirupama sukhadOsi mahAn nirmala hrdayE sthitavAn
C: bhArata dEsha pitA bhAsi ajnAna timira savitA bhAvita janasamatA sutarAmbOdhitAhi bhavatA
sAra sakala shubha dAtA sukrtakha rAjya vidhAtA mAtA dhAtA pitA sakalamasi mAnita vishvanEtA

[harimau]

shAnta ahimsAmUrtE. rAgA: hindustAnibhairavi. Adi tALA.

That raises the interesting question: is Hindusthanibhairavi the same as Sindhubhairavi or different? Can you help with arohanam/avarohanam?

While at it, what the heck is Hindusthani Gandhari? Thamarai poottha thadagamadi is in Hindusthani Gandhari. How about arohanam/avarohanam for that?

Do we have any other ragas prefixed with Hindusthani other than the above two and Hindusthani Kapi?

This is starting to resemble Hanuman's tail, with no end in sight!

Thanks. As usual, you are an amazing source of information.

Lakshman Sir,

Did Sri Mayuram Vishwanatha Sastry write the song;;

jaya jaya bharata janani

jayaShAlini janamukhi IShAni?

I had learnt this in my student days.

The last caranam is::

varacaritE sumatE suta vinutE

vishwanAda sangItE.

Regards

The composition:: ShAnta ahimsA mUrtE

was also taught for a programme and it

felt exhilarating to see the lyrics after a long long time.

Thank you, Sir.

hindustAnibhairavi uses all the 12 notes.
As for hindustAnigAndhAri here is a little information:
