Arun Govil and Anup Jalota Launched Composer and Singer L. Nitesh Kumar's Album 'Bhajan Parampara'

The album has been released Today by music company T-Series. The whole album has been designed by L. Nitesh Kumar. The album has turned out to be one of the greatest bhajan albums ever. It is interesting to note that this album has been brought out by Anup Jalota's disciple L. Nitesh Kumar to take forward the legacy of our rich bhajan tradition.

During the release of the album, a joyful Arun Govil said, "Whenever we talk about bhajan, Anup Jalota's face is what we instantly remember. The album 'Bhajan Parampara', which has been launched Today, has bhajans sung by Anup Jalota and L. Nitesh Kumar, and the interesting part is that both of them had also composed bhajans for the same album. I congratulate them for creating such a melodious and great devotional album for all of us. Anup Jalota is my best friend, and if his name is attached to this album, then I can say with confidence that this album is unlike any other bhajan album. Once you hear out the full album, you will realise this is no ordinary album".

Arun Govil didn't stop here. He was all praise for L. Nitesh Kumar too. While talking about L. Nitesh Kumar, Arun Govil said that he feels that he is a great disciple of Anup Jalota. I loved listening to his voice and enjoyed all the bhajans which he has composed and sung for this great album. Anup Jalota and L. Nitesh Kumar both have distinct and unique voices in their own right, yet they have a very similar style of singing bhajans which is very magical and captivating. This Guru-Shishya jodi is a great practitioner of devotional bhajan singing tradition in India, and I am proud of both of them."

Anup Jalota said, "L. Nitesh Kumar is totally into bhajans and singing bhajans is his first love. Album Bhajan Parampara' has nine bhajans altogether, and Today on the joyous occasion of the release of this album, his proud parents also came from Orissa to attend this glorious launch function. Arun Govil is also here to give him good wishes for a better and bright future. He has all the blessings from all of us so that his bhajan album gets all the success it truly deserves".

On this occasion, L. Nitesh Kumar said, "Today, I am feeling that one of my long cherished dreams has been fulfilled. I am very lucky that my album was launched by one and only Arun Govil, the man who brought alive the character of the great Lord Ram and my mentor and one of the greatest bhajan singers Anup Jalota Ji. My work has always been praised, and I really feel blessed that my mother-father, my Guru and my listeners and viewers have always supported me in my endevours. Through this album, I have tried my best to bring forth our rich Indian traditions and our rich literary heritage.

This unique album contains nine divine bhajans by our greatest poets and saints from our country.

The bhajans are based on various ragas and taal, and instruments like Sitar, Sarod, Flute, Sarangi, Tabala, Dafali, Medolin, Pakhwaaz, Manjeera, Morsing, Ghatkam, Temple bells have been used to compose all the bhajans. All these instruments created unique sounds, which helped make these bhajans more melodious. Throughout the album, you can feel the beauty and melody of Indian traditional music.
