10 Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur - Karagisi Enna Manada ಕರಗಿಸಿ ಎನ್ನ ಮನದ - Channabasavanna Samadhi
Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur (31 December 1910 - 12 September 1992) hailed from Dharwad, Karnataka, and was an exponent of khayal gayaki, having been trained in the Gwalior and Atrauli gharana traditions. He learnt from Pandit Nilakanthbua Alurmath of Miraj, who had, in turn, received ta’lim from Pandit Balakrishnabua Ichalkaranjikar. Subsequently, Mansur ji became the gandabandh shagird of Ustad Badruddin ‘Manjhi’ Khan sahib, the son of Ustad Ghulam Ahmed 'Allahdiya' Khan sahib, one of the progenitors of the Atrauli gharana tradition. Following the untimely demise of Ustad Manjhi Khan sahib, Mansur ji subsequently learnt from Ustad Shamsuddin ‘Bhurji’ Khan sahib, the younger son of Ustad Allahdiya Khan sahib. Through his eclectic ta’lim and meticulous riyaz, Mansur ji was able to craft a gayaki which was instrumental in popularising the Atrauli gharana repertoire, along with several other representatives of the gharana tradition.
Anyone who knows anything about Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur knows that he was extremely devoted to the saints of the Lingayat tradition and counted on their blessings and guidance in his life tremendously. Among the places that he frequented through the part of his life from the late 1950s and early 1960s was the Samadhi of Channabasavanna in Ulavi. Other important places included the Murugha Math in Dharwad, Gachhin Math in Athani and Duradundishwar Siddhasamsthan Math in Murgod. During the month of Shravan, Mansur ji would make journeys to these important places and offer musical service for the saints, consisting of ragas and primarily vachana-s by Basavanna, Akka Mahadevi, Allama Prabhu and other noted Shiva Sharanas. In this period, he would often go to the extent of declining concert engagements and festivals of Indian classical music that were being held in Bombay, Calcutta and Delhi.
This is a unique recording in several ways. Firstly, it is the only recording we have of Mansur ji’s singing at the Samadhi of Channabasavanna in Ulavi, that gives us an insight into the repertoire he performed on these occasions. Secondly, at a total length of a little over 45 minutes, I am given to understand that it is not a complete recording but is still the closest thing we have to understand this particular dimension of Mansur ji’s life. Thirdly, while his Vachana renditions that formed a part of his concerts, as well as the recordings he made for commercial record companies as well as All India Radio might be of better audio quality, this recording informs us about the context Vachana-s are intended for. Lastly, Mansur ji’s choice of opening with “Mahadev Vishwambhar…” in raga Jhinjhoti and then proceeding onwards to sing 9 Vachana-s in quick succession are reflective of the way he thought about these presentations and used them as an opportunity to further expand his Vachana repertoire.
On this particular trip to Ulavi, Mansur ji was accompanied by his grandson Mahantesh, disciple Pandit Panchakshariswami Mattigatti, long-time accompanist Pandit Basavaraj Bendigiri, and Shri Raman Bharadwaj, the son of Mansur ji’s disciple Pandit Shripad Venkatesh Bhirdikar. It was Raman who had carried a Bush tape recorder with him and recorded this important occasion for posterity. When I spoke to him, he said it was either in 1982/1983 that this recording had been made and shared with me that it was during this trip that he started learning Tabla from Pandit Basavaraj Bendigiri, with Mansur ji looking on and encouraging the proceedings.
The following is the repertoire which had been recorded on the occasion in Ulavi:

I happened to find a clip of this very composition by the great Laxmi bai jadhav. The admirers of the old gems of Hindustani classical must see both the renderings objectively.
@@user-uo6dm2br7w Given how few aesthetic renditions of Bhankar there are, it would be good for listeners to listen to as many as are available. 😊 Laxmibai ji’s singing is so sureela, with thehrav that at times it even feels that she’s at odds with most others of her generation from the Atrauli tradition.
Vagadeeshwari is now listed as a Karnatic raga. Interesting to know that Dhrupad and Karnatic music have certain ragas in common- the commonest being Kambhoji.
@@silverghost5752 Indeed! Dagar Bani performers of the previous generation followed the Melakarta paddhati… my own guru Ustad Rahim Fahimuddin Khan Dagar sahib taught me a dhrupad in Kanakangi.
@@IrfanZuberi1980 Very interesting. Adds strength to the theory that dhrupad is closer to certain aspects of Karnatic paddhathi than is khyal which shows the influence of Persian and Arabic music. Wonder if some serious work has been done on the similarities between dhrupad and Karnatic music (especially the Ragam-Tanam-Pallavi format). Thank you for responding. Keep up the excellent work!
This concert is special because in the audience is his friend, admirer and a connoisseur of music, Shri. P. L. Deshapande, also present is Pt. Wamanrao Deshpande, Veena Shasrabudhhe on tanpura and many other celebrities. Balkrishna Iyer has given inspired and complimentary table accompaniment. A concert to be treasured.
@@maheshdesai493 Thank you for adding the name of Wamanrao ji to the list of connoisseurs I have shared in the detailed description for the videos in this mehfil. 😊
Pandit Mansur ji has left his imprint on this Raga Khat. Unique rendition!
Great Effort about Pt Mallikarjun Mansur. Really Happy to listen it.
@@devupattar Thank you for your kind words of appreciation. 😊🙏🏻
great singing
Feeling blessed by hearing this masterpiece! How could I miss this all these years?
Glad you are enjoying these iconic renditions by Mansur ji! His oeuvre was so large that it's completely understandable you've missed out on a few pieces. 🙂
Damn!!!! That’s Veena Sahastrabuddhe ji on tanpura 😳😳😳
@@jayantapanigrahi4920 Yes!!!!!! 😊
My God!!!!! This Raga just shreds your souls to bits. Extremely poignant raaaga and when you have Mallikarjun ji sing it ….it just transports you to a completely different realm
@@jayantapanigrahi4920 Precisely!!! Glad you used the phrase about shredding the soul to bits… so deeply a Sufi concept and this bandish is just laden with layers & layers of meaning like all Bhakti poetry is! 😊
@@IrfanZuberi1980 thanks for letting us enjoy this epic of a composition
oh, this is soooooo tough one :) 2 dhaivats interspersed and the bhatiyar like use of teevra madhyam and the lalitanga meends...exquisite and flawless execution as usual by the supreme master ! :) naman
These ragas were just meant for Mansur ji! Not only did he sing them effortlessly, he brought out so much from their recesses… 😊
Thank you so much for presenting this Irfan.. was an awesome awesome listening to Mallikarjun Mansur. I had read somewhere that Dharwad became the seat of Hindustani music because Abdul Karim Khan would rest up here before proceeding to Mysore palace during his travels
Thanks for the kind words of appreciation... glad you enjoyed the presentation. 🙂 The thing about Ustad Abdul Karim Khan sahib and Dharwad is of course true... but the Atrauli Ustads Naththan Khan and Abdullah Khan had already been playing an important role spreading Hindustani music in the region... it's a rich history that needs far more thorough research than has been done so far!
lovely :)
You made wonderful presentation sir, what to say about MM
@@user-tc2xt9jh6n Thanks for the appreciation. 😊🙏🏻
Pl give some details of Gharana and period of event. Now this type of Mehefils are dream....
@@drhrshah5978 Please read the detailed description for the relevant details.
What a bliss to listen Panditji ! I've listened many artist's singing same raga and composition (were Marathi though) but very few artists were able to bringout the soul in this geet, Pt. Mansur hits that list. This is raag Arabhi, a variation of raag durga with shuddha gandhar. They say that original geet was in kannada in taal dadra. In marathi this is translated as ‘ Chandrika hi janu ’ - natyapad from ‘ Manapaman ’ (drama). Many artists have sung it in different taala, Master Dinanath used to sing it in rupak, Bhimsenji used to sing in addha teentaal. Among many artists my favourite was of Master Dinanath's recording, Ustad Abdul Karim Khansaheb's recording, Chotta Gandharva's recording, Pt. Bhimsen Joshi's recording from 2001 (his old recordings were also good but still the completeness was still missing until now), Pt. Kumar Gandharva (he presented this in Marathi but in Dadra and his style of presentation was completely different from usual artist's, pure melody) and obviously Pt. Mansurji's piece. Ustad Abdul Karim Khansaheb has sung this natyageet in Raag Devgandhari(almost similar to Raag Arabhi). Unlike old days, latest recordings get more time for presentation but they still fail to bring out that sweetness which these old days artist's used to bring in few minutes. Pt. Mansur really used to sing every style (in early days) with his melodious voice and used to bring soul in his presentations. Also later on, reflected his brilliance in khayal gayaki. Mr. Zuberiji, you are doing really great work for us rasikaas by uploading his recordings. Hearing to every masterpiece of Mansurappa on your channel has become my daily schedule. Looking forward to more recordings of this maestro. Please upload more khayal gayaki of Pt. Rajshekhar Mansur if available.
Aha, thanks a lot for this detailed comment and an assessment of the various yesteryear maestros who have sung this piece. I must say that I got to learn a lot reading through your comment. It's my pleasure & delight to share these recordings with connoisseurs such as yourself because it leads to such engaging discussions in which we all get to learn so much! 🙂 As far as Pandit Rajshekhar Mansur ji's recordings are concerned, all others in my collection are already available on CZcams in one form or another, so I thought it wouldn't be a good idea to replicate the same. I will, however, be uploading several more recordings of Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur over the coming weeks. 🙂
@@IrfanZuberi1980 Thanks for replying 🙏 Eagerly waiting for upcoming recordings.
Remain silent and bask in the sunshine of this celestial singing!
Irfan Bhai , your love for classical music is so vivid. The efforts you have put in presenting Mansur Sahab so systematically is phenomenal.Its truly said musicians have family all over the globe. Last week only I visited his home turned museum in Dharwad, it was like a pilgrimage for me. I could feel the vibes very much there. Thanks for presenting our heritage so beautifully. May God bless you and give you the strength to do more for music. 🌸🌸🌸🙏
Thanks a lot for the kind words of appreciation. 🙂 I do feel that recordings tend to get presented in a fragmented way, tearing apart concerts/mehfils and such kind of documentation sessions quite often. When they get presented in a sequential form with proper context, it does add to their level of appreciation for sure. Glad you enjoyed your visit to Shri Mrityunjaya in Dharwad... I first went there over 20 years ago and have visited it 4-5 times since. It does have an aura of simplicity and humility that we associate with Mansur ji. 🙂
Great!
Does anyone know the composer of the vilambit Nayaki bandish? It’s such a beautiful take on the more popular and equally beautiful Mero Piya. And no recital of Jayshree Tai seems to be complete without Yahi Gali Mat Jaana. Her playfulness and cute mispronunciations just add to the effect she creates.
Thanks for uploading this! She’s such a wonderful artiste. The vidvat and that voice at this age leave one at a loss for words. The meditative Poorvi, the meandering Nayaki, and the Jaijaiwanti sandwiched between them just made my day!
Wow, what singing! Any idea what Panditji is saying at 1:38?
@@gajamukhu I think he’s saying something about the quantum of andolan usually deployed by other musicians in Darbari.
@@IrfanZuberi1980 Thanks. That’s what I guessed; just wanted to make sure.
Congrats
Thank you! 🙂
🙏🙏
Vintage Mansoor ! 🙏👌 Thanks a lot for uploading !!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the appreciation. 🙂
Captivating.
This is highest show of Pt. Mallikarjun Mansur's scholarship. The short association with Ustad Manji Khan Saheb must have been one of the most intense guru-shishya association in the world of Hindustani classical music. Mansur never forgot this and always gave due credit to Manji Khan saheb. I even saw a photograph of Manji khan saheb at the "Devghar" of Mruntyunjaya (his residence) for worshiping,. I visited the residence of Pt. Mallikarjun Mansur in Dharwad couple of years ago. It was a pilgrimage for me.
This a swan song of the great master. My time has come. The bells are ringing. I must go. My guru Ustad Manji Khan is calling me.
Very informative. Thanks for the upload. It was interesting to note that Bandish is a critical part of raga. Even Tarana is a kind of BAndish, without meaning to th words.
There are schools of thought in Qawwal Bachche and Gwalior tradition which ascribe meaning into the syllables of the tarana - as a kind of an amalgam of the mantra used in apabhransh roop from Dhrupad; along with breakdown of syllables associated with Sufi zikr practices. 😊
Can you tell more about this raaga ?
It would be best if you try and reach out to artists of the Atrauli tradition with a query like this. You can make a beginning by listening to other renditions of the raga available online, including one by Manjiri Tai in which she explains a bit about the structure of the raga as well as the bandish.
खूप छान, मस्त
Wonderful, unexplainable in words. 🙏🙏
Was lucky to have heard this maestro for over 30 years in all his concerts in mumbai and pune. An example of chaste and austere music with details of classicism at every moment with a patina of rich tunes pervading the entire performance. A rich potion of sublime music.
Glad to know you are a die-hard Mansur fan. I am also one, but an ignorant one, listening to him since last 10 years. About 2 years ago I went on a pilgrimage to Mrityunjaya at Dharwad from Hyderabad. Your program is a great feast to people like me. There are some epic rendition from Mansur on youtube. I and adding link to them so that listeners to this video do not ask questions for their non-inclusion by you.

Thanks a lot for your kind words of appreciation and also for adding links to several iconic renditions of Mansur ji which re available here on CZcams. It was almost impossible to shortlist the renditions I have talked about during this event... but there could easily be at least 2 other programmes of this kind with a separate set of renditions to talk about and highlight aspects of Mansur ji's musicality. 🙂
One can See Pu. La. Deshpande in the audience. Veena Sahasrabuddhe on Tanpura.
Many other important people there as well… read the description. 😊👍
Mesmerizing rendition..
54:26 held a note for 17 seconds .. unreal
Yes, his dam-saans, having been a life-long Beedi smoker was just unreal... and his taar shadja was truly luminous! 🙂
This is an excellent resource! Thank you so much for uploading these recordings, Irfan ji
Thank you! It’s been an absolute joy collating this set of recordings, thanks to friends. It’s an added pleasure to be sharing it with connoisseurs here! 😊
❤️🙏❤️
Vha the antara just blows me away
Kya baat hai!!
What a unique composition - im no expert but i dont hear any lalit ang at least? 🤔
Wooow. Never heard of this bandish of Bahaduri todi. Usually it’s hey Mahadev. The circumstances around this rendition though left me with moist eyes.
Indeed, Jayanta ji! Often times, we aren't aware of the context these recordings were made in... that additional knowledge does make a lot of difference in the way we listen, doesn't it? 🙂
@@IrfanZuberi1980 indeed. Which is why this guided listening session is so precious. I’m on a binge on your channel. It’s a great service you are rendering to classical music by putting such content for us rasiks to absorb. Thank you.
@@jayantapanigrahi4920 Thanks for the encouragement. 🙂
Such treasured content. Can’t thank Irfan ji enough for uploading such priceless content. Shat shat naman aapko Irfan ji.
Thanks a lot for the kind words of appreciation Jayanta ji! 🙂
Ragas Shri, Gaud Malhar, Sohini? Just checking.
Yes, that's right. 🙂
Thank you for digitizing and uploading. Thank you for detailed notes. For those like me who do not have much grasp of intricacies, your videos and uploads are valuable guides. Thank you!!
Delighted to read this comment… thank you for the appreciation and am so happy that you’re enjoying and also getting to learn alongside. 😊
🙏
Beautiful ...!! Just loved it..!! Thank you once again for sharing the video Sir..🙏
You’re most welcome! This unique complete mehfil’s video recording is indeed a rare blessing to all Mansur ji fans! 😊
Thank you Sir 😊
My pleasure! Glad you listened. 😊
Thanks for this. I'm a lay person from Tamil Nadu but a great fan and admirer of Mallikarjun Mansur avl. His humility is obvious in his singing and in his concert recordins. As said, almost saintly.🙏🏽
Most admirable
Ghan umad dekh Saiyan has been pronounced as gunbad dekh ! It is a Malhar !! It is not ghumbad !! And saiyan is swami i.e husband ! But the mispronunciation became settled !
Are you saying this through a reference? I’d be interested to see any bandish book of yesteryear reflecting what you’re saying.
In addition, it also needs to be kept in mind that not all Malhar bandish-es are literally about rains... several are figurative, and even philosophical... for instance, a rain of blessings. But anyhow, I would be extremely interested to know the source of information behind your comment and a possible reference as well. Thanks! 🙂
