On Mahalaya Bengalies all over the
world listen to Mohishashur Mordini in
All India Radio.
Mahalaya held every year, marks
the beginning of Durga Puja all over the world. For bengalies in Mahalaya
pritripakha ends, debipakha begins. On the same day, people go to the holy
ganges to do tarpan, that is pay respect to the departed souls of father and
ancestors. Different types of tarpans are done on the day including pitri
tarpan, matri tarpan, deb tarpan, etc.
Durga Puja is the puja of
Asurdalani Maa Durga, who had defeated the evil forces (mahashahura) and
brought peace and solidarity in the earth. All India Radio had a played a very
important role in depicting the story of Mahalaya every year in the early
morning.
Mahishashur Mordini had been
eternal creation of Birendra Krishna Bhadra, Bani Kumar and Pankaj Mullick. The
way Birendra Krishna Bhadra had uttered the slokas “ya devi sarbabhuteshu
shaktirupenu samhastita, namasthaswai namasthaswai namasthaswai namoh namohah”,
he created an enchanting atmosphere, and devotees started feeling that they
were in heaven.
The other great part of
Mahishashur Mordini was the great songs sung by legendary Bengali singers of
the golden age, namely “taba achinto “ sung by Manobendra Mukherjee, “jago tumi
jago” sung by Dwijen Mukherjee, and many songs sung by Sandhya Mukherjee,
Suprava Sarkar, Supriti Ghosh, Shyamal Mitra and other legends.
These days a lot of programs are
held in television to depict mohishashur mordini in television. For example in
Zee Bangla channel on 15th October, 2012, Srabanti Chatterjee and Shubhashree
are going to play the role of Sati in Satir Ekanno Peeth in the play related to Mahishashur Mordini. But the
importance of mohishashur mordini in All India Radio cannot be replaced. It is
a historical piece of creation and should be restored.
In the new durga puja in 2012, it
is expected that everyone in every part of the world should enjoy Durgapuja in
their own way.
