- In this song Kabir evokes the image of our body, our self, being like the five-stringed musical instrument - the tambura. Made of the four elements and containing the fifth element - shoonyata or emptiness - we hold within our self the capacity to resound to a higher sound. But only if we learn to be perfectly strung - not too tight, not too loose, but just so!

The song is beautifully composed and sung in the thumri idiom by Vidya Rao, a performer of thumri-dadra and ghazal, who has studied under the legendary late Naina Devi, Shanti Hiranand and Girija Devi. She also sings songs of Sufi and bhakti poets, verses from Hindu and Buddhist texts and Islamic forms of naat, soz and nauha.
Vidya has been advisor and friend to the Kabir Project since 2002, and she says, “Singing Kabir in thumri is all about bringing the emptiness of shoonya into the very ornamented form of the thumri. Kabir may be stark and evoking the emptiness (shoonya) of the sky (gagan). But when I think of the way the sky is adorned with the sun, the moon, the rainbow… How can you say it is empty? Emptiness has this adornment. And the adornment is empty. To me they are true, when they are together.”

Speechless, she tells it perfectly, "our body is like tambura, a musical instrument, it has five strings, each string is made of fundamental elements, soil, water, fire, air and sky"
I found some resemblance between the lyrics of this song and your group's research, as explained by you recently in an interview to Eddie Avil (The One's Changing The World). It's all about vibrations, as per both Kabir and you. :)
No drugs can take you to the estacy that this brings. Speechless 🙏
Could you guys please do more projects with "Vidya Rao" I'm a big big fan :)
The facial impression expresses the meanings of the words
Exactly ...that lends meaning to each word.
Aditi rao hydari looks so much like her mom VIdya Rao
Am absolutely amazing performance utterly captivating . Sung with so much affection and spirituality ... and no screeching harmonium .. glorious sarangi playing...its almost this was written hundreds of years ago awaiting Vidyajhi to sing it with all her heart and soul .
Her expression were signing the bhajan too. 🙏🙏🙏
Great Mam...I request all wanaparthy family to visit once Hyderabad and meet KCR...People really would be delighted...
God, she transports me fully within, and then fully outside my body ... !
Bhajan in Raag Mishra Mand, Taal Deepchandi, sung and translated by Vidya Rao;
Lyrics from the Kabir Project
Ho saadho! (O wise ones!)
Yeh tan thaat tambure ka (This Body is a Splendid Tambura)
Paanch tatv ka bana hai tambura (Made of the five elements)
Taar laga nau ture ka (strung together wth nine resonances)
Aicat taar marodat khoonti (Tighten the strings, twist the pegs)
Nikasat raag hajoore ka (and it sings the song of the Lord)
Toota taar, bikhar gayi khoonti (The strings snap, the pegs lie scattered)
Ho gaya dhoor madhure ka (the sweetness has turned to dust)
Yaa dehi ka garab na keejai (Don't cling in vain to this body)
Ud gaya hans tambure ka (Its swan has flown away)
Kahe Kabir, suno baayi sadho
Namaste . How can I find the swarlipi for this composition thanks 🙏
Thanks a lot for the lyrics and translation!

A request , do we have Naiharwa sung by Vidya Rao Mam. Please please share if possible. I am sure Vidyaji's rendition will take that bhajan to altogether different level . 🙏🙏
Itna spastt uccharan aur shabdon ki feel banaya rakhna aur sath hi sath unse khelna. ....kamaal hai Vidya ji.
' Ainchat taar marodat khunti ...niksat raag hazure ka ....This says it all , when life strains us & when it twists us ,then we search for the supreme ,sing his praises.
Till that happens ,sabhi kha peekar mast rehte hain.
आवाज और गायन से दिव्य निकटता का आनन्द होता है।

Ho saadho
Yeh tan thhaat tamboore ka
Paanch tatva ka bana hai tamboora
Taar laga nau toore ka
Yeh tan...
Ainchat taar marodat khoonti
Niksat raag hajoore ka
Yeh tan...
Toota taar bikhar gayi khoonti
Ho gaya dhoor madhoore ka
Yeh tan...
Ya dehi ka garab na keeje
Ud gaya hans tamboore ka
Yeh tan...
Kahe Kabir suno bhai saadho
Agam panth ek soore ka
Yeh tan...
Nice
Mam ye kis raag me hai?
So she is mom of adithi
She is mother of Aditi Rao hydari
Does anyone know what the statues behind her
Represent? I've been wondering for so long!
pri22v11 in 3 worlds dhyal shakti(called usually as “god “or u can say “god in action”) is prevailing in each and every particle and is managing everything. But the rule of 3 worlds is given to kal shakti(these statues represents that). Dhyal shakti do not interefere in the rule of kaal shakti but gives nurturing and life to all.
Dhyal shakti is also called NAAM or anhad shabad or sound of tambura( it contains many other sounds and light in it only if someones concentration comes in contact with dhyal or god in action).
This naam shakti is also called “god in action” cause it is in action and nourishing every particle. But it is connected to 4th world where The GOD resides. So if any one comes in contact with this dhyal shakti or anhad shabad(naad) it will pull him out from these 3 world because this sound is coming from 4th world.
