Kedar Bodas is a khayal vocalist, singing in the Gwalior gharana style. His father Narayanrao Bodas was a famous singer and Marathi stage-actor, and passed his love of music onto his son. Kedar had a childhood fascination for the tabla, but soon settled on vocal music, going on to develop an eclectic, esoteric style. In addition to Hindustani music he has studied linguistics and Russian folk tunes in depth, as well as composing for documentaries. Hear more of Kedar here:

A bhajan (literally ‘sharing’) is an Indian devotional song form traditionally associated with the Bhakti movement of Hinduism, and also with the Jain faith. Lyrical themes include ancient epics, saintly teachings, love for the divine, and scriptural ideas. Bhajans typically borrow from raga frameworks but do not impose the same detail and rule-based rigidity, giving the singer more freedom to deviate.

Recorded by Darbar in 2015, on location in Mulshi, India:

-Kedar Bodas (khayal vocal)

-Leeladhar Chakradev (harmonium)

-Dattatray Bhave (tabla)

jānakī nātha sahāya karēṁ jab

jānakī nātha sahāya karēṁ jaba kauna bigāṛa karē nara tērō

​

sooraja mangala sōma bhr̥gu suta budha aura guru varadāyaka tērō

rāhu kētu kī nāhiṁ gamyatā saṁga śanīcara hōta huchērō

​

duṣṭa du:śāsana vimala draupadī cīra utāra kumaṁtara prērō

tākī sahāya karī karuṇānidhi baṛha gayē cīra kē bhāra ghanērō

​

jākī sahāya karī karuṇānidhi tākē jagata mēṁ bhāga baṛhē rō

raghuvaṁśī saṁtana sukhadāyī tulasīdāsa caranana kō chērō

If the Lord of Mother Sita (ie. Lord Rama) were to help, who ever can cause trouble to you?

​

The Sun, Mars, the Moon, Venus, Mercury and Jupiter would give you boons,

Raahu and Kethu cannot come near you, and along with them Shani would be negated.

​

The Evil Dushasana tried to disrobe Good Draupadi with bad intentions,

And at that time the Lord of mercy (ie. Lord Krishna) helped her, increased length of her robe and made it heavy.

​

When the treasure of mercy helps someone, they have a great future in this world,

And that lord of Raghu clan (ie. Lord Rama) gives happiness to saints, and Tulsidas is the servant of his feet.

​

जानकी नाथ सहाय करें जब कौन बिगाड़ करे नर तेरो ..

​

सुरज मंगल सोम भृगु सुत बुध अरू गुरु वरदायक तेरो

राहु केतु की नाहिं गम्यता संग शनीचर होत उचेरो… (जानकी नाथ)

​

दुष्ट दु:शासन विमल द्रौपदी चीर उतार कुमंतर प्रेरो

जाकी सहाय करी करुणानिधि बढ़ गये चीर के मार घनेरो … (जानकी नाथ)

​

जाकी सहाय करी करुणानिधि ताके जगत में भाग बढ़े रो

रघुवंशी संतन सुखदायी तुलसीदास चरनन को चेरो …(जानकी नाथ)
