Today we have so much music recorded & played and you hear it a lot on the FM channels. But this music it is too loud, heavy & is not soothing to heart. You hardly hear any old melodies on Radio or Tape. Most of us have a hectic life. Work pressure, travelling, conference calls and weekend goes in shopping & doing routine household work. The best way to relax and stay healthy is not by going to pub or discotheques but to do yoga, meditation and listen to some cool music. Some of us may be listening to classical music and relaxing their way out. But not most of us will have liking towards classical music or will understand it.

So, do we have a choice? Yes, we do. Indian music is very rich & devotional in nature. There have been many compositions in the past some heard, some unheard. Let us try to find out and share it through this post. I had a collection of Meera Bhajans sung by Lata Mangeshkar and composed by her brother Pt. Hridaynath Mangeshkar. All songs are very soothing to your soul.  There is an album called Miraj-E-Gazal composed by Ustad Gulam Ali and sung by Asha Bhosle & Gulam Ali himself. These gazals are very emotional & passionate, will surely relax your mind. I also have a collection of Marathi Bhajans by Pt. Bhimsen Joshi – all classics, they give you real peace of mind. You can always get the best collection of Madan Mohan songs, SD Burman Songs, Mohammed Rafi, Kishore Kumar & more from the music shops. But do we get time to listen to these compositions anymore. We prefer going out partying or spend most of our time talking to friends on the mobile.

Well, let us find some time for good music which will relieve us from stress, calm us down & make us feel happy. Readers are requested to suggest more albums here. Thanks.
