My journey with spiritual music began in childhood, influenced by my father's devotion, and that essence has remained with me. Singing in reverence to Maa Durga always brings me immense gratitude and positive energy. The bhajans ‘Aa Maa Aa Tujhe Dil Ne Pukara’ and ‘Pyara Saja Hai Tera Dwar Bhawani’ are melodies I cherished growing up, and performing them immerses me in a realm of prayer, surrender, and a profound connection.”
Deeply rooted in devotion to Maa Durga, the soulful presentation from the first episode embodies purity, surrender, and the celebration of divine energy, visualized through the color red, symbolizing strength, divinity, and auspiciousness. With powerful vocals, elegant presentation, and immersive sound design, the episode cultivates an ambiance of reverence and joy, perfectly resonating with the festive spirit of Navratri.
Jaya Kishori remarked, “Bhakti sangeet has always been a bridge connecting the heart directly to the Divine. Through Mixtape Bhakti, we endeavor to present these traditional Mata bhajans to today's youth in a fresh style, maintaining their sanctity. This collaboration has been a deeply personal and spiritual journey for me, and I extend my gratitude to T-Series for this opportunity.”
