This is not the first time Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, and his sons are paying homage to Mahatma Gandhi (the sarod maestro performed Gandhi's favourite bhajans at the UN two years ago, and also paid tribute last year on Independence Day). Nonetheless, this year's tribute -- an instrumental rendition of Gandhi's favourite bhajan 'Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram' shot agains a stunning backdrop of the Qutab Minar -- is as beautiful as the trio's previous efforts, and even delivers a potent message, reminiscent of the Mahatma's teachings.
The ustad and his sons collaborated with Saregama India Ltd to produce this video, that was launched yesterday on YouTube, and would mark the 146th birthday of Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi Jayanti falls on 2nd October every year, and is observed as a national holiday. In 2007, the United Nations also declared this day as the International Day of Non-Violence, in honour of the man who believed in the power of peace.
