Venkatesh Kumar: Raag Jaunpuri 

I am 9th month pregnant n came to hear Raag jaunpuri for relaxation. N this made me so relaxing 😌 wow so wonderful 😊

I wonder the way Panditji is reaching the high notes with his full volume and energy! This is the evident outcome of years' and years' tough Riyaz with utmost perseverance, instead of running after worldly fame. This is "sadhana" in its true sense.

He says " Gaan vidya badi kathin"...and makes it look so easy, elegant and effortless! Must have been countless hours of single minded riyaaz! *Respect*

Panditji's ability to interprete a Rag differently on every occasion & as effectively & melodiously is phenomenal-- a rare gift fom the Almighty.

सरस्वती की महती कृपा है क्या गायन है आपका पंडितजी मंत्रमुग्ध हो जाते है सब आप के प्रसंशक

This is just out of this world! The tabla player is just wonderful and the vocalist, mama mia! I am not so versed in this music but already I feel a love affair starting! Many thanks for uploading.

Some people have a voice so beautiful as if it were a gift from God. Through Panditji's voice however, it is Mahadeva himself speaking to us.

दंडवत प्रणाम ऐसे महर्षि को जिन्होंने संगीत की सेवा में अपना सर्वस्व न्यौछावर कर दिया 🙏🙏🙏

one of my very fav raagas by one of the finest vocalist today...thanks FEA for the wonderful treat

Simply I Love you Shri.Venkatesh, I don't find any other words to say.

Dharwad has produced all time greats in Classical Music. Venkatesh Kumar is certainly among the greats. But for some reason the academies have forgotten to give him the much needed recognition.

heard the first time few days ago only... but in the last few days have spent countless hours listening to almost all his videos... namaste

Pandit ji your singing 🎤prowess is incredible. Pranaam aapki gayaki ko.

Great singer... Beautiful voice...very meticulous... Very clear thinking hence Raag vistaar is systematic and stupendous....A Gem in Dharwad's crown.... Actually Dharwad-Hubali area has given wonderful classical singers to Hindustani style of classical music...Pt. Bhimsen Joshi.. Pt.MallikarjunMansoor...Gangubai Hangal....SawaiGandharv...Ganapati Bhat....Pt. Venkatesh kumar.....It is interesting to note that Dharwad-Hubali-Gadag is in karnataka but all singers are from Hindustani shaili... Amazing.... Om..shanti

i feel like im in heaven...... love nd respect frm nepal....

Gaan Vidya badi katin.very true.its only possible for pandit ji.what a divine voice.pranam Guruji 🙏🙏

He sings with so much clarity and ease. His singing is very enjoyable. God bless him

1 n only Pandiji... wah kya baat...no 1 to compare.. magical singing....

This was indeed a very enjoyable and memorable performance of Raag Jaunpuri. Panditji is very much a brilliant creator of mood. His execution and voice is a winning combination for any music enthusiast. Well done and Gods blessings.

One of the best renditions of jaunpuri .. The swar sadhna he has done is coming out through these renditions...

The greatest heights of musical nuances by the master. He takes us to the heart of the raga.

Best jaunpuri heard till today.... Forget about the rasa of the raag, the divinity in notes is what is ultimate and never loosing it's colour ... Enjoy it... It's worth listening...

Raag Jeevanpuri ," vilambit khyal" presented by Pt Vekatesh Kumar is fantastic.I enjoyed Sirjee ".Aadi dev Mahadev " followed by chhota khyal Maula rero nam is superb which is delivered magnificently.Great Sir!

Can’t thank you enough for sharing this treasure with us … His singing is full of his Love and Devotion…we can feel it in each note…after my Ustad, Ustad Ghulam Hassan Shaggan of Gwalior Gharana I am impressed by this Great Master Singing … thanks to you for sharing. ❤️ALLAH❤️Taala Bless you all !

Such a beautiful rendition of Jaunpuri. As Kedar Deshpande righly says, Panditji makes it look so easy. Hats off!!!

Simply OUTSTANDIG performance of this most beautiful raga

Lovely structure of Jaunpuri finds its enchanting expression in Pandit Jee's rendering of this Raag with devotion. The slow tempo is seducing with his meditation like devotion to the notes of this beautiful Raag.

have no words to describe the impact of Panditji's voice on the soul.His music is of quite another level ever so rare today.. compliments to the accompanists too. .

Obeisance to you for your fantastic singing, honourable Pandith Venkatesh Kumar ji!

This what they call perfect score - Jaunpuri at its best - Superb

Soulful rendition by the master of this beautiful Raga. Touches the heart and mind.

पंडितजी, क्या कहूँ ? “धन्यवाद” तो बहुत हलका-सा शब्द है ! फिर भी आपको शत-शत धन्यवाद !

One can experience God in his singing. We are blessed.

Wow, what a beautiful rendition!! Really superb and divine. Blessed to listen to you Pandit ji 🙏

“Tapat beeti na Mahadev” when you realise it’s “aatma ka parmatma se Milan” Jai ho gurudev 🙏🏻

sublime. Prannams to Shri Venkatesh Kumar ji. your music is pure sir.

a wonderful voice of pandit venkatesh kumar . wishing him a grand success in future

Pranam guruji,YOU have made me a lover of Hindustani classical.

The way pandit ji is singing the रे प ग् phrase is just so soothing ....❤ Overall everything is just divine... Only DIVINE ♥️♥️♥️ one with that one ❤

Beautiful exposition of the beautiful Raga Jaunpuri one of my favorites. What a great singing.

Divine. Just divine. Pandit ji is just great

Mesmerizing. It's divine. I wish, it could have been a 3 hour long ecstasy. I wish, he lends his voice to dhrupad too..

Is the maestro even in this earthly realm or is he floating among unknown frequencies of the cosmos? Wah! Absolutely transcendental! Lots of respect for what may be decades filled with daily riyaz of tens of hours. 🙏

You have made my morning today Sir. Hats off to PanditJi.....

ABSOLUTELY AMSOLUTELY WONDERFUL: VOCAL MUSE AT ITS FINEST ON EARTH.

WOWWW....simply a masterpiece sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Heads down, sir! true legend.🙏

Esa jaunpuri kabhi repeat nahi ho sakta ❤❤

piercing right into the veins .. what a soul! #respect

Pt. Venkatesh Kumar from North Karnataka, reminds us of the Classical Titan Pt. Bhimsenji...from the same region. Khadkhadit Aaawaz ,aani Taan aase , Aatun Yetat! means a Deep Strong Voice with the Taan's Coming from within, are the Hallmarks of all Classsical Musicians from this region. Be it Tabla, as you see the Ease with which Pt. Raghunath Nakodji plays and also Bharatji, Yeh Ek bhagwan ki Dain Hai!! Or be it Vocalists, All have a very Strong delivery in Hindusthani Classical. Upcoming singers like Jayateerth Mevundi and tabla artistes Ravikiran and of course Rajendra Nakod. his uncle. And His Elder Brother Vishwanath Nakodji, My friend , now also presenting very good Vocal Performances. Ofcourse Pt Bhimsenji's influence can be seen, But That level to reach will be very Kathin!! Panditji needs to be promoted on bigger stages, but he prefers Teaching! We still have hope for our Hindusthani Classical Music! Jai ho!

Even Tabalchi Sir was motivated with such a melodious voice .. Not only did he, even other co-artists were also enjoying..

Excelent , harmonium and tabla equally in pace

What a heavenly rendering..!! Invoking all the mealody and passion of the raga with astonishing feel..

It is really nice to listen the wonderful nots of jonpuri in a wonderful manner.

Straight from the heart!

After Bhimsen Joshi...another true living legend of Kirana gharana

i don't want to write high English poetry to express my opinion.. just want to say .. ek number..

Padmashri Pandit Venkatesh Kumarji Shat Shat Naman 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This is pure meditation.

What a experience .. very fantastic. Rangam alapana... Tabala. Harmoniam.excellent ..

Great ati sundar. Bahut lajbav

I am very happy and wonder the higher notes is reaching sponteniously with full volume and raga is reaching with his own super creation.

Incredible! Mellifluous and moving! Fantastic sound and video quality.

He almost looks like sculpted. The simplicity is where he wins you over. So humble, he must have seen life.

A devine experience, no words.

Amazing artiste...pours everything into his rendition. Way better than some of the big names that always keep hogging the limelight despite their mediocrity.

Amazing rapport. I love the tabla player.

23:56 and 26:11 is Heart winning!

Vah...Vahh....., Devine vocal..extraordinary..

I am really speechless. Thanks a lot

panditaji with Bharat kamath on Tabala ---superb

The divine speaks through your devotionally inspiring voice!

अप्रतिम.. त्यांनी म्हंटल "गान विद्या बडी कठीन" आणि ते इतक्या सहजतेनं गायले आहेत. पण वर्णन करायला "शब्द मात्र कठीण" असंच आहे, हे निःसंशय. या गान महर्षिंना शतःशा प्रणाम..

kai baar kuch aisa ho jata hai ki aap ke paas kehne ko jyada kuch nahi hota. App nishabd ho jate hain. Kitne khushkismat honge wo log jinhe Panditji ko live sunne ka mauka mila. Aise adbhut kalakaar ko shat shat naman! Likhne me kuch chook hui ho to kripya kshama karen. :)

Hi @Channel, please mention artist name as Pandit Venkatesh Kumar. The honour, awards and rewards he supposed to receive is way beyond whatever he has right now. Jai Panditji🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
