“Songs like ‘Sundar Te Dhyan’ and ‘Omkar Swaroopa’ fill the morning air with divine, devotional melodies, creating a sense of peace and auspiciousness. In a world dominated by pop and jazz music, these timeless bhaktigeet (devotional songs) have maintained their presence for over four decades, providing solace and joy to listeners. This collection by Chandrakant Sane captures that same devotional essence, offering valuable guidance for novice singers, instrumentalists, and artists, with insights into raga, taal, and essential musical techniques.

These soulful bhaktigeet are not just for singing; they’re also arranged for playing on harmonium and keyboard. With detailed musical notation crafted from in-depth study, the book introduces notation symbols to guide readers in performing each piece. It includes 30 songs with descriptions of the raga, aaroh (ascending notes), avaroh (descending notes), and information about the original vocalist, giving learners both technical and historical context.

Each bhaktigeet is complemented by practical tips for harmonium playing, special notes for each song, and instructions on practice exercises like palte (variations) and alankar (ornamental exercises) to develop musical skill. This well-rounded book has quickly gained popularity for its accessible guidance, attracting positive responses since its release.

For those interested in musical instruments, musical notation, or music exam preparation, this book is an ideal resource, blending devotional content with technical knowledge to support beginners and advanced students alike.”*
