A Stream of Himalayan Melody

Music is life and life is music. Similarly, we have happiness, anger, pains and sorrows in our life and in our music. As much I know Shri NS Negiji he is the voice of home-grown locals and his music is not for enthralling life but the music of neighborhood.

Yes, we can find the disunion and separation from our roots in his music but ultimately he gave us the true juice (रस) of unity.

Loudness and quietness are common in current music but he gave us the calmness (ठहराव) which is rare in musicians.

He is the lord of music in Uttarakhand, Maa Saraswati has always instructed him to deliver the sound of locals and he did it immaculately.

If you (my dear friend) are spreading his words to the world then my dear friend you're the chosen medium by Maa Saraswati, go ahead and do the best as you can.

My best wishes are always with you. 🤟🏼😎🤟🏼

His universal popularity and presence is bewildering. He is everywhere: In Uttarakhand agitation, taking out “prabhat pheris” i...

Transcending Borders

Transcending Borders Narendra Singh Negi and the Ethos of Romanticism Narendra Singh Negi, a poetic voice resonating through the gorgeous valleys of the Uttarakhand Himalayas, exemplifies the Romantic sensibility in a manner that transcends mere physical landscapes. His songs and poems, much like the European Romantics and American Transcendentalists, echo a longing for transcendence; an existential wish to connect profoundly with nature, humanity, and the cosmos. What sets Negi apart is his use of the vernacular tongue, drawing from the everyday life of shepherds, grass reapers, and villagers, blending the simplicity of the life of hill folk with the profound depth of Romantic thought. Negi’s songs and poems, akin to the poetic expressions of Romantic poets like Wordsworth, Keats, and Robert Frost, reflect an unfathomable reverence for nature. His lyrics whole-heartedly celebrate the feelings of love with a deep exploration of the human condition. Yet, h...
