Dnyanmanthan Presents: ShreeRam Katha — A Week-Long Spiritual Pravachan

A disciple of Pujya Shri Vardanand Bharati — in the sacred lineage of Parampujya Shri Dasganu Maharaj, the revered composer of Gajanan Vijay — and the son of Bharatacharya Prof. Shri Suresh G. Shevde, the celebrated composer of Gajanan Bavanni, the renowned orator, discourser, and literary figure Dr. Satchidanand Suresh Shevde presents his soul-stirring ShreeRam Katha in his signature vivid and pictorial style.

Over 45 years and more than 7,000 programs across India and internationally, Dr. Shevde has enthralled hundreds of thousands of listeners. His discourses are alive with insight, deep reflection, and captivating narration that keeps audiences completely spellbound.

Adding a divine sweetness to this program is GeetRamayan — the immortal, heart-touching musical epic rooted in Hindustani Classical music, composed by Babuji — to be rendered in melodious voice by the multifaceted vocalist Anand Navadikar.

'Anand' in name (Navadikar — GeetRamayan vocalist)

Come, let us all immerse in the divine confluence of Bhaktiras, Dnyanras, and Music — this sacred Triveni Sangam!

A heartfelt and humble invitation to one and all — including your little Balgop-Gopis — to join this divine celebration. 🙏
