Ramcharitmanas Live

The quintessence od Ramcharitmanas by  The Vishwanath Family Band, originally targeted for 22 mins but finally compressed in 27 mins in the 'Goodevening India' live programme of Doordarshan last evening was a spiritually invigorating experience. Sushma Khan and her team did a fantastic job to bring an abridged version of all the 7 cantos of Ramcharitmanas of Goswami Ji, probably one of its kind in Doordarshan production history. Special mension to be made about Mohit Shekhawat who did the entire line-up of the programme as though he was spiritually commanded by the supreme Divinity.
Anchor Jaishree Sethi subdued her traditional role and became more of a listener in yesterday's programme to draw best of the discourse. That reminds of Garud Maharaj and Kaak Bhushundi - Ek Vakta , Ek Shrota - between whom, the entire epic got broadcast to the world for the first time.

Akshayaa Vibho came out Crystal Clear with traditional Ragas such as Saraswati and Johnpuri, quite difficult to handle on the keyboard.

Amrutaa Vibho handled the pair of the Duff and the Dafli very sensitively with her sticks while accompanying for tje Chaupaees.

For Bhanumathy Vishwanath, it was yet  another unparalleled mission where she displayed Velvet like Musical rendition to handle the otherwise metre of steel of Goswami Ji.

Watch the glamorous recording of the live programme in the YouTube channel.
