Devaki Pandit | Indian Classical Vocalist | Gazali | Prudent | 040125

In this episode of Gazali, we chat with Devaki Pandit, an Indian classical vocalist, about her musical program ‘Advaita.’ ‘Advaita’ is a musical expression of the spiritual journey of seven women saints of India. It is a tribute to these extraordinary poetesses—Andal (Tamil Nadu), Akka Mahadevi (Karnataka), Janabai, Muktabai (Maharashtra), Gangasati (Gujarat), Mirabai (Rajasthan), & Lalleshwari (Kashmir)—whose poetry reflects their divine love for the Almighty & the essence of their spiritual journeys. This concert has been conceptualized by Devaki Pandit after studying the literature & poetry of these women saints in their respective regional languages, in order to understand the socio-cultural & folk music traditions of their times. The performance offers a glimpse into the expressive power of these saint-poetesses through their vachanas, abhangas, vaakh, dohas, & bhajans. Their life & poetry have inspired & uplifted all those who aspired to tread the path of spirituality. Advaita is scheduled for 5th January 2025 at Rajiv Gandhi Kala Mandir, Ponda.#Advaita #DevakiPandit #IndianClassicalMusic #WomenSaints #SpiritualJourney #DivineLove #Vachanas #Abhangas #Bhajans #IndianPoetesses #Andal #AkkaMahadevi #JanabaiMuktabai #Gangasati #Mirabai #Lalleshwari #Kashmir #Rajasthan #Karnataka #Maharashtra #TamilNadu #FolkMusic #IndianCulture #SufiPoetry #SpiritualMusic #RajivGandhiKalaMandir #Ponda #GazaliPodcast #ClassicalConcert
