The very first concert of JPA turned out to be everything we had hoped for—an evening filled with music, smiles, and a quiet sense of joy that stayed long after it ended.
It began with a classical presentation in Raag Bhoopali, and gradually unfolded into a range of devotional and semi-classical compositions—Paradhin ahe jagati, Vad jau kunala sharan, Haribhajana vin kaal, and Man Mandira. Each piece seemed to deepen the connection in the room, drawing the listeners closer, not just to the music, but to the moment itself. The medley of compositions by our Guru’s Guru, Pt. Jitendra Abhisheki, carried a certain nostalgia, while the closing piece by our Guru Shri Mahesh Kale—“Khara to ekachi dharma, Jagala prem arpave”—felt like a gentle reminder of the very purpose behind the initiative.
What stayed most was the response of the residents at Athashri Hinjewadi—their quiet involvement, the way they kept taal, smiled to themselves, and at times joined in. When the music paused at the end, there was a brief hesitation, as if the evening had stopped a little too soon.
