Be it the mesmerizing ghazals of Nusrat Ali, Jagjit Singh Saheb or mesmerizing classical music singing in many difficult to difficult taals like Jhaptal, Deepchandi, Dadra, Dhamaal, Jhumra. Be it bhajans or film songs that make the mind happy or qawwali in Sufia style, when it is heard singing by a knowledgeable, experienced musician associated with the genre of music, it is natural for the mind to feel very relaxed.
Seeing such extraordinary performances by Ayodhya resident Swami Manas Das Sharabh on various forums, no one would believe that a person living an ascetic life devoid of illusions can be such a top-class music connoisseur and musician. It is the speciality of Indian culture that more than one saint has come to this earth, who has not only blessed himself with his musical practice but has also contributed immensely to enriching the treasury of music.
After leaving home at the young age of just 14, you dedicated your whole life to music and meditation. Looking at your supernatural and extraordinary talent, you got immense affection from Param Pujya Gurudev Shriyut Acharya Dr Ramanand ji. He renounced the physical and supernatural pleasures and because he was immersed in the welfare of the whole world, he gave preference to a life of renunciation. Along with this, he also acquired deep knowledge of Vedas, Vedangas etc.
Staying at the feet of great music seeker Shriyut Ram Manohar Das Tyagi ji, Pujya Ram Kishore Das ji and Pandit Gauri Shankar Das Maharaj ji, you gained deep knowledge of Sur Sangeet. Despite being a saint of the Vaishno tradition, you are counted among the best musicians. You are often invited to various types of musical programs from every corner of the country. You are also doing very hard work to make the ragas of classical music popular among the masses by awakening them. If Swami Manas Das ji sings kirtan, which is free from the Margi method, then it is also full of classicality, or rather, you sing kirtan in Jhaptal and never compromise with classical music. In the present times, to attract the general public, especially the youth towards classical music, they keep on simplifying the difficult posts. Only 28 years old Ayodhya resident Swami Manas Das Sharabh ji is constantly striving for the advancement of classical and modern music through his life of renunciation as well as through his masterful practice of music.
