Music has charms to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks or bend a knotted oak. -- William Congreve:

Indeed!! Since time immemorial therefore music stands as the emblem of bliss, love, peace and harmony. Indian music with its entire timber, fizz, concord and tradition therefore aided in illustrating the "edited and unedited" realities of life so very eloquently. Indian music is not only the significant amalgamation of the taal, raag and sur but is a lot more. With its entire effervescence it is therefore an effort to portray the very Indian tradition and ethnicity whilst illustrating the dreams of the Indians. Bhavegeete is of course a very important part of the Indian music, which has represented the devotional and emotional facet of the Indians whilst representing the aura of the philosophy of Hinduism in the truest sense of the term.

Asato ma sad gamaya.
Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya.
Mrtyor ma amrtam gamaya.
Lead me from the unreal to the Real.
Lead me from darkness unto Light.
Lead me from death to Immortality-

If this is the very crux of Hinduism then this truth finds a poetic diction amidst the devotional aspect of Bhavegeete.

Bhavegeete is an emblematic form of "emotion poetry" where expressing the deep desire of meeting the ultimate, of experiencing the "Omnipresence of the Omnipotent" is articulated amidst light music and perfect verbiage. Love, love for nature, Indian philosophy above all the philosophy of life are all united with the strings of "Bhavageete" which is even lot more than being just a particular form of " Expressionist poetry" This genre of music became popular as a form of expressionist lyrics throughout India especially in Maharashtra and Karnataka. Whilst the verve of the Kannada lyrics enriched the Karnataka bhavageete; the Maharashtrian bhavageete were typically based on Marathi poems. As a classical form of "Folk music" Bhavageete has also gained applaud in the rich chronicle of Indian music, which is again exceptionally atmospheric. Both the elements of the classical music and folk music are ideally interwoven in the genre of Bhavegeete. Rustic emotion, native wit and spontaneity are the base of the "Bhavegeete" which pounded a million souls Bhavegeete, till today stands as that bridge to connect the high and low with its musical and literary expression.
