‘Vighnaharta Ganesh’ is one of the most popular shows on Sony Entertainment Television. The show showcases the journey of Lord Ganesh with some magical visuals. Being the foremost God, Lord Ganesh is the originator of all wealth, prosperity, knowledge and salvation.
The upcoming track will take the viewers through the story of how Durgmasur had stolen all the four Vedas and it was upon killing him is how Goddess Durga was named. The Vedas started losing their powers, and people started forgetting the Vedic mantras. Lord Ganesh went to get it back from him and since the Vedas had lost their powers, Lord Ganesha who is known as Vidyapati, he started chanting those mantras again to revive their powers and he was able to get it back from him. The four Mantras are ‘Om Asato ma Sadgamaya’, ‘Om Swasti Na Indro’, ‘Om Dyauha Shantirantariksha’ and ‘Gayatri Mantra’.
To add beauty to the whole track, the winner of Indian Idol 10 Salman Ali along with the Top 4 contestants, Neelanjana, Nitin and Ankush have rendered their soulful voices to record this special track on the Vedas for Vighnaharta Ganesh. After creating their mark on Indian Idol 10, this is the first professional recording done by these 4 talented singers. All the four were visibly excited for this recording as it cannot get more auspicious for them to record their first ever professional track for Lord Ganesh. In Hindu mythology, we worship Lord Ganesha before starting any new venture, and these four talented ones also got the same opportunity to kick-start their singing careers by recording their first ever song for Ganesha.
Talking about this experience, Ankush Bhardwaj said, “We feel truly blessed to be able to sing for Vighnaharta Ganesh. The atmosphere during the recording was so positive and full of energy. We were singing the verses from the Vedas for the first time and it was a different experience all together. We couldn’t have asked for a more auspicious start to our professional singing careers and this memory will forever be etched in our hearts. We would like to thank Sony Entertainment Television for giving us the opportunity to be part of something so pure and pious.”
Akanksha Puri who plays the role of Goddess Parvati in the show said, “I’m very excited as four of my favorite singers Salman, Ankush, Neelanjana & Nitin have recorded for our show. I have always been a big fan of Indian Idol and when I met them last time during Navratri celebrations, it was like a fan-girl moment for me. I have religiously followed and voted for my favorite Idol contestants. All of them are supremely talented and gifted, and I’m sure they would have done justice to the track. I look forward to listening to the final version and I’m sure our viewers too will like it.”
Vighnaharta Ganesh airs every Monday to Friday at 7.30pm only on Sony Entertainment Television.
