Dr. Salil Latay - In Concert - Sukoon Bhare Nagme - Bhakti Ke Rang - BHAKTIYAATRAA
An album video is posted on a YouTube channel 3 ½ years ago.
It is widely seen and appreciated. A gentleman from Madgaon (Goa) accidently
sees and hears it and is mesmerised by the presentation. He frantically tries
to reach the Lyricist, based in Pimpri Chinchwad and me – the Composer, Singer
and the Narrator. After many attempts, he finally connects with me and invites
both of us to talk and sing respectively at the famous Shri Gajanan Maharaj
Math at Madgaon (Goa) on a very short notice. Travelling is done in several stop
over stages, but all is wonderfully organised, managed, presented and
appreciated by one and all at the temple.
My Vocal Sonata is presented for the first time in a
temple....that’s another first. Sukoon Bhare Nagme on the Devotional Avenue
called Bhaktiyaatraa. Interestingly the concert presentation used the hybrid
model – Concert presented On Location and a Live Telecast on facebook.
I am indeed blessed and honoured. The trip was a memory for
life on all counts including organising and hospitality. After Bengal, the
beautiful state of Goa really knows how to respect and take care of Artists.
Thank You Shri Gajanan Maharaj, Thank You Goa,
Thank You all at Shri Gajanan Maharaj Math, Madgaon and special thanks to
Mr. Umesh Churi, who was instrumental in getting me to my second visit to this
beautiful state.

The lyrics of the devotional album on YouTube in Marathi that got this whole story running, sung by me in 2004 - Shri Gajanan Maharaj Shegaon Haripaath was released in a book form at this event. The book is published by Shri Gajanan Maharaj Math Samiti, Madgaon
Post the release, the Lyricist Mr. Satish Kale narrated the story of the creation of this album. Along with him was Mr. Ramesh Sapre - Scholar, Speaker and Preacher - who was all praises for the creation and later my concert.

A remarkable young lady - all praises about my concert - in her own style of trying to run to stage - "His singing is nice...We must tell him that"...Her parents holding her back while I kept on singing. After the concert...I asked for a photograph and she obliged. Ms. Shravya Thakur (Age 2) - Madam, You have been very kind!
The lyricist of the album that got us to Madgaon Mr. Satish Kale along with the man who was instrumental in this wonderful opportunity - Mr. Umesh Churi
Thank You Mr. Umesh Churi. I am truly honoured.
