Lyrics & English Translations of Draupadi entry song,'Kumari Chapi Panchali' from Mahabharat ! 

The word devotion is often described as religious worship or love and loyalty towards a higher being. Vandana Somaiya devotion to music is synonymous with that of a devotee to the Lord, and it is from this sentiment that Bhakti Vandana has been conceived.

Vandana Somaiya yearning to learn and perform Hindustani vocal was apparent from a young age. Vandana Somaiya’s father, Mansukhlal Kotak, who is an accomplished harmonium and vocal artist, had a prominent name in the London network, and this presented Vandana Somaiya with a wealth of opportunities to perform and cultivate her talent. She would perform at live shows and competitions as a young girl but over time, as with any woman’s life, her priorities shifted and she devoted many years to being a loyal wife and mother. Her thirst to become an accomplished singer remained inside of her, so with the support and encouragement of her family, she was able to follow her passion.

Karan Entry Song 'Parshuram Shishyaha Karnah' Lyrics (Mahabharat)

Vandana Somaiya began the pivotal part of her musical journey a decade ago, where she would leave her husband and two daughters behind weeks at a time in order to come to Mumbai in search of the right Guru to pursue her passion. The feeling of loneliness and being away from home was like no other, but with the focus, discipline, and devotion inside of her, she continued on her chosen path. Vandana Somaiya was fortunate along the way to meet some very senior and inspirational personalities within the field, who helped to guide her and open up a plethora of opportunities for Vandanato perform and grow as an artist. Of notable mention is Padmashri Anup Jalota-ji, who took her under his wing to give her the most selfless mentoring and support. It is with his creative flair and deep rooted knowledge of Hindustani classical music that she along with Anup ji presented the Bhakti Vandana album.
