Immerse yourself in the divine with "Shiva" by the legendary Jagjit Singh, a spiritual journey released in 2014 under the Saregama label. This enchanting album spans a soothing 44 minutes, offering a serene escape through a blend of ghazal, bhajan, qawwali, sufi, and devotional genres. The album features four soul-stirring tracks, each a tribute to Lord Shiva, the destroyer of evil and the transformer within Hinduism.
"Hey Shiv Shankar Hey Karunakar" opens the album, invoking the compassionate and benevolent aspects of Shiva. The title track, "Har Har Mahadev," is a powerful chant dedicated to the Great God, while "Om Shivay Hari Om Shivay" and "Om Namah Shivay" further delve into the spiritual realm, each track a testament to Jagjit Singh's unparalleled ability to blend devotion and melody.
"Shiva" is not just another album; it's a testament to Jagjit Singh's enduring legacy in the world of music. Released posthumously, it serves as a fitting tribute to the maestro, who passed away in 2011. The album was released in January 2014, just a few months after a commemorative stamp was released in his honor, further cementing his status as a legend in the music industry. Whether you're a long-time fan of Jagjit Singh or a newcomer to his work, "Shiva" is sure to captivate and inspire.
