Main Aur Meri Tanhai (1981)

Music for this 1981 film was composed by Jagjitji. He and Chitraji sang all the songs in the film. This is another outstanding album by Jagjitji where some of the songs became staple and were time and again sang at various concerts because of their popularity and appeal.

I am uploading songs from this album in two back-to-back posts. Here are the songs in the first post...

Prem Geet

According to the screen credits this is the film that introduced Jagjitji as a music director into the films. It also introduced Anita Raj who has the lead role.

This is an outstanding effort by Jagjitji. Some of the songs from this film became very popular, especially the numbers by Suresh Wadkar and Jagjitji. But Jagjitji's solo, "Hothon Se Chhoo Lo Tum" became so popular that it overshadowed all other songs from the album. In my opinion, Wadkar's song "Khwaabon Ko" stands equally with that of Jagjitji's. "Hothon Se" became one of the perennial favorites with concert goers in attendance at Jagjitji's live performances.

I am uploading songs from this film from an original soundtrack album in the first post. In the second post I am including some specials.

Here are the songs from this beautiful album...

Aum (Om) Jaap

Here is one of the write-ups about this album says…

Aum is a combination of three syllables (A, U, and M) that represents the three Supreme Gods. Here A stands for Brahma, the Creator; U stands for Vishnu, the Persevere; and M stands for Mahesha, the Destroyer. Thus this single word pronounced Om signifying the three divine entities that spans the entire life spectrum of everything this earth holds.

In this album Jagjitji in his inimitable voice performs the Jaap in three different ways. Each chant is repeated 51 times. I will upload these dhuns in two back-to-back posts.

Here is the first one. Please note that because of the length of this jaap, I have to split it into two parts. To download this jaap, please download both parts. Any one part by itself will not work.

Now for the jaap…

Om - Moksha - Sacred Dhuns for Pure Bliss

Jagjitji released series of three albums with the theme of "Moksha" and "Sacred Dhuns for Pure Bliss". These were this album, "Om - Moksha - Sacred Dhuns for Pure Bliss", plus "Shri Krishna - Moksha - Sacred Dhuns for Pure Bliss", and the third one "Shri Shiva - Moksha - Sacred Dhuns for Pure Bliss". All these albums have the same "Opening Invocation & Introduction" and "Moksha Vachan". The differences were the chanting of dhuns.

Here are the devotionals from this first album on "Om Moksha". Please note that because of the length of one of the dhuns, I have to split it into two parts. To access this dhun it is imperative that you download both parts because any one of the parts will not work.

Here are the devotionals...
