संगीत के साधक, सुरों के महारथी — मास्टर रणजीत सिंह जी को श्रद्धांजलि 🙏
डॉ. जगमोहन शर्मा – मलोट शहर की संगीतमयी धरा आज शोकमग्न है। शहर की एक नामवर और आदरणीय शख्सियत मास्टर रणजीत सिंह जी आज उस प्रभु के चरणों में जा विराजी। संगीत साधना में लीन यह महान आत्मा अब सदा के लिए स्वर-सागर में विलीन हो गई।

15 सितंबर 1945 को जन्मे मास्टर रणजीत सिंह जी ने अपने जीवन का प्रत्येक क्षण संगीत को समर्पित किया। वे न केवल एक उत्कृष्ट गायक और वायलिन वादक थे, बल्कि एक सच्चे गुरु भी थे, जिन्होंने अपने अनगिनत शिष्यों को सुरों की साधना सिखाई और उन्हें सफलता के शिखर तक पहुंचाया
उनके प्रमुख शिष्यों में तरनजीत सिंह (दिल्ली) (Vocal Classical),कुकू सिंह (Vocal Classical),
सिमता (Sitarist),दलजीत सिंह (Vocal), गीता धुरिया(Sitarist),प्रभलीन कौर (Tabla/Vocal),
अशोक जिंदल (Vocal),रवि कुमार (Vocal) आदि के नाम विशेष उल्लेखनीय हैं ।

मास्टर रणजीत सिंह जी ने आदर्श स्कूल, मलोट में संगीत शिक्षक के रूप में सेवाएं दीं। वे प्राचीन कला केंद्र के केंद्र संस्थापक (सेंटर नंबर NZ-540) भी रहे, जहां से उन्होंने अपने क्षेत्र में संगीत की अलख जगाई।

उनकी संगीत साधना का दायरा इतना व्यापक था कि उन्हें राष्ट्रपति भवन में अपने वायलिन वादन की प्रस्तुति देने का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ — यह उनके कला कौशल की सर्वोच्च पहचान थी।

संगीत उनके जीवन का अभिन्न अंग था lहादसों और कठिनाइयों ने उन्हें तोड़ा जरूर, पर उन्होंने जीवन को संगीत के सुरों में पिरोकर जीना सिखाया।

“जिंदगी जो ज़ख्म भी तूने दिया, वो गहरा नहीं था,
क्योंकि उनके पास संगीत का मरहम था।”

मलोट और पंजाब की संगीत जगत में मास्टर रणजीत सिंह जी का योगदान अविस्मरणीय रहेगा।
उनकी स्मृति हमेशा हमारे दिलों में सुर बनकर गूंजती रहेगी।

Tribute to Prof. Chandrakanta Khosla

Prof. Chandrakanta Khosla (born 7 May 1933 in Kashmir) was a distinguished sitar virtuoso, dedicated educator, and a pioneering figure in Indian classical music. A disciple of Pandit Umashankar Misra and Bimalakant Roy Choudhury, she devoted over three decades to teaching at Government College for Girls, Chandigarh, and played a vital role in shaping the instrumental music syllabus of Panjab University. Her deep artistry, discipline, and innovation — including the creation of over a hundred gatis — enriched generations of students.
We pay heartfelt homage to this remarkable musician and teacher, whose life was a melody of devotion, knowledge, and grace.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.

I feel deeply honoured to have been felicitated at the Classical Music Evening “Lalsa”, organized by the Lalsa Foundation at the historic Gaiety Theatre (Heritage Cultural Complex), Shimla.

It was a moment of pride to share this honour with eminent musicians and dignitaries including Prof. Jeet Ram, Prof. Ramswaroop Shandilya, renowned tabla maestro Shri Kashmiri Lal, Shri Ajay Dogra, Shri Vinod Channa, Shri Ramesh Chand, and Madam Mamta Dogra, among many other respected music lovers.

The evening was graced by Shri Ajay Sharma, Director (Personnel), SJVN, as the Chief Guest. The program began with Dr. Parmanand Bansal, Advisor to the Lalsa Organizing Committee, highlighting the life and contribution of Dr. Lal Chand, followed by Dr. Suresh Sharma extending a warm welcome to the guests and audience.

A mesmerizing dance performance by Aksh*ta Dhiman on the thumri and bhajan composed by Dr. Lal Chand set the tone for the evening. Later, young vocalist Gunjan Channa from Shimla rendered Raga Puriya Dhanashree with soulful aalap and compositions in vilambit and drut teen taal that captivated every listener. The recital concluded with a tarana in a fourteen-beat Ada Chautal, accompanied beautifully by Pt. Rajesh Brahmbhatt on tabla and Shri Brajmohan Madan on harmonium.

The stage then came alive with a spellbinding sitar recital by Dr. Gagan Singh Hothi, a disciple of Acharya Vimalendu Mukherjee and Pt. Buddhaditya Mukherjee, who presented Raga Shuddha Kalyan with alaap, jod, jhala, and intricate gats in vilambit and drut teen taal, concluding with a lively tappa. He was brilliantly accompanied on tabla by Dr. Neeraj Shandilya of the Punjab Gharana.

The event was beautifully coordinated and conducted by Dr. Hemraj Chandel, whose eloquence and grace added charm to the evening.

The program concluded with a heartfelt vote of thanks by Shri Brij Mohan, Secretary, Lalsa Foundation, expressing gratitude to all the guests and music enthusiasts for their presence and support.

🎶 A truly divine evening celebrating the timeless beauty of Indian Classical Music in the heart of Shimla.
