For me, and as it will be be for millions of Indians, the most sacred song will be this.
No matter how many times I hear this, I get goose-pimples.
This one is from Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, a Bhajan on Vitthala.
Another great song which gives me goose-pimples is this one. It is an unusual version but powerful nevertheless.
This topic was suggested by Lin, for the weekly Friday Loose Bloggers Consortium where currently eight of us write on the same topic every Friday.

Do drop in on their blogs and see what their take is on this week’s topic. Since so
Pavarotti’s Oh, Holy Night and Ave Maria are two of my favorites.

He was good!
I was not aware of the Pavarotti & Bono version of Ave María. Bono’s lyrics are very profound!

There is another version of his with Eric Clapton singing Holy Mother that may also appeal to you.

That is our National Anthem Tammy and the two ladies are our most popular Hindi film play back singers and they are sisters in real life.
I was able to find translations for the first two. Pavarotti makes sense, but am not quite sure how to translate Bono’s into English!

Bono will be Bono, mysterious!
I have never heard this version. Bono’s words have much impact and I think it takes great courage to sing with Pavarotti.

Bono does not lack courage! And he is good.
