    This article has been made available to SAWF by Dr. Veena Nayak. Dr. Nayak has translated it from the original Marathi article written by Ramkrishna Baakre. From: Veena Nayak Subject: Dr. Vasantrao Deshpande - Part Two (Long!) Newsgroups: rec.music.indian.classical, rec.music.indian.misc Date: 2000/03/12 Presenting the second in a three-part series on this vocalist par excellence. It has been translated from a Marathi article by Ramkrishna Baakre. Baakre is also the author of 'Buzurg', a compilation of sketches of some of the grand old masters of music. In Part One, we got a glimpse of Vasantrao's childhood years and his early musical training. The article below takes up from the point where the first one ended (although there is some overlap). It discusses his influences and associations, his musical career and more importantly, reveals the generous and graceful spirit that lay behind the talent. The original article is rather desultory. I have, therefore, taken editorial liberties in the translation and rearranged some parts to smoothen the flow of ideas. I am very grateful to Aruna Donde and Ajay Nerurkar for their invaluable suggestions and corrections. Veena THE MUSICAL 'BRAHMAKAMAL' - Ramkrishna Baakre (translated by Dr. Veena Nayak) It was 1941. Despite the onset of November, winter had not made even a passing visit to Pune. In fact, during the evenings, one got the impression of a lazy October still lingering around. Pune has been described in many ways by many people, but to me it is the city of people with the habit of going for strolls in the morning and evening.

Pandit Baalkrushnabua Ichalkaranjikar Maharashtra has produced many individuals who derived inspiration from role models in Indian mythology and lived their lives like respected sages. Gaayanaachaarya Pandit Baalkrushnabuaa Ichalkaranjikar is one of them. He learnt singing style of Gwalior gharaanaa (family or hierarchy) from Pandit Vaasudevbuaa Joshi with great service to his Guru and hard work. Pandit Baalkrushnabuaa Ichalkaranjikar was the first one to introduce and popularize Gwalior gharaanaa gaayakee (singing style) in the state of Mahaaraashtra. He taught his hard earned vocal music to his students and created a musical community. He also brought music to respected peoples’ houses in society and established a dignified place for music. This extraordinary man was born in 1849 near a town of ‘Ichalkaranji’ in a small village called ‘Bedag’. His was a family of priests for generations. However, Baalkrushna ji’s father Raamchandra had learnt a little music and he was a performing vocalist. Hence Raamchandra often travelled to different places. He was very pleased when he noticed that his son’s voice was remarkably capable of fast development. He taught Baalkrushna ji some dhrupads and other arrangements (prabandh). Raamchandra ji wished for his son to be a singer.
