00:00Pundit Rajanji and Pundit Sajjanji's duo in Indian classical music is world-famous.

00:06And they have elevated the tradition of Indian classical music in India and the world.

00:13And with us is Pundit Rajanji, Sajjan Mishraji.

00:18Rajanji is not among us.

00:20Okay.

00:21So, Pundit Rajan Mishraji was our elder brother.

00:24Pundit Rajan Mishraji and Pundit Sajjan Mishraji are still known as Rajanji and Sajjanji.

00:35We are two bodies and one soul.

00:38This is how we were recognized all over the world.

00:42So, our elder brother, Pundit Rajan Mishraji, died of COVID-19 in 2021.

00:48And people still recognize us as Rajan, Sajjan and Mishra.

00:54This is a great thing.

00:56It is God's grace that we got our names and music together.

01:05So, it is very sad to lose them.

01:08But I am doing a program now and I am sitting with my son.

01:14His name is Swaransh Mishra.

01:16Rajanji has two sons, Ritesh and Rajneesh.

01:20They are also doing well.

01:22So, I hope that our tradition will continue.

01:26Pundit Sajjanji, Banaras Gharana has always been your favorite.

01:31You have made it known all over the world.

01:35So, what is special about it and what are the challenges?

01:37Banaras Gharana is a very ancient Gharana.

01:43The concept of Gharana is 200-250 years old.

01:46But in Banaras, it is said that it is the city of Mahadev.

01:51And all the notes are derived from Vishwanath's Damru.

01:56So, there are temples in Banaras, Kashi.

02:02Since ancient times, music has been performed there.

02:09And we are very fortunate that we were born in Banaras.

02:16In our home, there is a tradition of music of 350 years.

02:21Which is continuous.

02:24And our children are also following that tradition.

02:28And the biggest thing about the singers of Banaras Gharana was

02:32Dhurpad, Dhammar, Khayal, Tappa, Thumri, Kajri, Chaiti.

02:38All the traditions in classical music.

02:41All of them are taught to sing.

02:44So, according to that, our canvas becomes very big.

02:48And the second biggest specialty is that it is a single Gharana.

02:52Where there is a tradition of Gayan, Vadan, and Nrit.

02:56So, in this regard, Banaras is a little different from other places.

03:02Pandit Sajjanji, you have a strong connection with Ahmedabad and Manju Bain Parivar.

03:07A few memories of Ahmedabad.

03:10We have a lot of memories related to Ahmedabad.

03:15We have been coming to Ahmedabad since 1972.

03:18And with the love of Nandan Bhai Mehtaji, he was our elder brother.

03:24So, we always used to stay at his house in Shivshadan.

03:29And we have got the opportunity to spend time here for months.

03:35Nandan Bhai was designing a car for us.

03:39So, we stayed there for a month.

03:41Then we used to stay there for 10-15 days.

03:43So, there are so many memories.

03:46If we start sharing them, it is possible that in 3-4 hours I will be talking about the same topic.

03:52Pandit Sajjanji, in Gujarati breakfast, you like Fafda and its chutney a lot.

03:59Yes, I like Gujarati breakfast a lot.

04:03And I especially like the hot Fafda chutney.

04:10Nandan Bhai also liked it a lot.

04:12So, he used to order it often.

04:14Jalebi is also very popular here.

04:16And the most important thing about Gujarati food is that it is very nutritious.

04:21It is a very healthy food.

04:23So, when we come here, we also enjoy Gujarati food.

04:29Sir, there is a lot of discussion that the new music, the filmy music, will dominate Indian music.

04:37So, what do you think, how will Indian classical music face its challenges?

04:43You see, Indian classical music has been going on for thousands of years.

04:51Raag Malkos, Raag Bhairav.

04:54This tradition has been going on for thousands of years.

04:59Thousands of singers have sung and passed away.

05:03But that Raag is still standing in its place.

05:05And as far as filmy music is concerned,

05:08there are people who love filmy music.

05:11There are people who love our classical music.

05:14And we have no comparison with them.

05:17We should not even compare.

05:19And every music is beautiful in itself.

05:22But our classical music releases stress.

05:26This is the difference.

05:28And it does not force a person to move.

05:31It calms him down.

05:33And his heart begins to beat.

05:36This is the difference between our music and other music.

05:41Sir, these new people, new generations,

05:44what do they want to learn in classical music?

05:47And what do they get?

05:49See, classical music is the base.

05:51There are people who learn classical music through film music.

05:54Like Lata ji, Asha ji, Mohammad Rafi sahib, Kishore ji, Manna Dey ji.

05:59These people have learnt classical music.

06:03And they have maintained their knowledge for so many years.

06:08I was watching an interview with Asha ji.

06:12She still practices classical music for an hour daily.

06:17Classical music is new. It is a foundation.

06:20If your foundation is good, you can build any type of building on it.

06:26Classical music is the base.

06:29You have to learn it.

06:31If you want to make a long lasting life,

06:36then you have to learn classical music.

06:38And today's youth,

06:40see, it has been going on for 45 years.

06:43See, 50% of the youth are connected to classical music.

06:49There is Sawai Gandharva in Pune.

06:5215,000-17,000 people come to buy tickets.

06:56Even in that you will find 50% youth.

06:59So our youth is becoming aware of music.

07:03And they are getting happiness.

07:05Their stress is getting relieved.

07:07So we feel that our music is very safe.

07:11We don't need to be afraid of any music.

07:14The reels that have come in social media,

07:16our span has also shortened.

07:19So that is also a problem,

07:21that it is a new opportunity to reach people.

07:24See, the crowd in the fair,

07:30the human nature of running after the crowd,

07:35some people have that interest,

07:37they make reels and put it in.

07:39But we are of such a time,

07:42that we are not interested in all these things.

07:45We are interested in our worship.

07:47If we do music, it becomes worship.

07:49It becomes a prayer.

07:51Not that we are doing meditation.

07:53This is a matter of spirituality.

07:55It should be promoted in a spiritual way.

07:58And in that, people like this,

08:01who come to the fair,

08:03if they understand,

08:05then they connect with our music.

08:08And those who don't like it,

08:11they get scattered.

08:13So we don't have anything to do with it.

08:15Our first condition is,

08:17how can we make the God sitting inside us,

08:19feel relieved by our music.

08:23So we adorn it,

08:25we pray for it.

08:27So prayer is our music.

08:29Pani Sajanji, you have been associated with Gujarat for a long time.

08:34Have you ever sung a song in Gujarat?

08:40No, we have not sung a Gujarati song.

08:43But we have many students in Gujarat,

08:46who are doing well.

08:48Viraj Amar has performed yesterday.

08:50And I like Gujarati music.

08:56Especially folk music.

08:58I like it a lot.

09:00And see, in every music,

09:05where there is calmness,

09:07where you get peace,

09:09that attracts.

09:10Whether it is jazz,

09:12or philharmonic orchestra,

09:15or western classic,

09:18I like everything.

09:20I listen to Beethoven,

09:22I listen to Kenny G,

09:24I listen to Bach,

09:26I listen to Mozart.

09:28Whatever music is there,

09:30I like it.

09:32Pani Sajanji, Gujarati Garba

09:34is famous all over the world.

09:36Narsi Mehta's bhajan is famous.

09:38What do you like about Gujarati music?

09:40I like Garba,

09:42Narsi Mehta's bhajan is also very good.

09:44We have also sung Vaishnojan.

09:47And see, music is music.

09:51In respect,

09:53I like everything.

09:55In Navratri, we have also gone to see Garba.

09:59So I like it a lot.

10:01It is done in a very traditional way.

10:03So,

10:05I enjoy every music.

10:08So this was Pandit Sajanji,

10:11who says that

10:13we enjoy every music.

10:15And we also enjoy

10:17our music, our singing.

10:19With cameraman Mukesh Jodia,

10:21Parijit Dev, ETV Bharat, Ahmedabad.
