Indore offers prayers, chants Mahamrityunjaya for Lata Mangeshkar at Khajrana Ganesh
As Indian playback singer and music director Lata Mangeshkar fights covid-19 in ICU, her hometown Indore offers prayers for her at the historic Khajrana temple on Tuesday.
Mahamrityunjay chants were performed by 21 Brahmins in the presence of head priest Ashok Bhatt at Shri Ganesh Mandir Khajrana Indore seeking good health for the populous singer. “Mahamrityunjaya Mantra is a verse from the Rig Veda and is considered to be the most powerful Shiva Mantra. It bestows longevity, wards off calamities and prevents untimely death. It also removes fears and heals holistically,” Bhatt said.
The 92-year-old singer also known as the 'Nightingale of India', is one of the most versatile singers in the Indian film industry. Lata was born on September 28, 1929, to classical singer and theatre artist Pandit Deenanath Mangeshkar and Shevanti in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
Called out as Queen of Melody, Voice of the Nation, and Voice of The Millennium, the Brahmins recalled her contribution to the country and prayed for her health.
“Lata is the daughter of Indore, who has brought pride to our nation, and we seek her good health and life from lord Ganesh,” Bhatt said. Bhatt is one of the family members of Pandit Mangal Bhatt, who had seen the idol of lord Ganesh and dug it out.
The Brahmins counted the chants and urged everyone to pray for the singer. Lata was admitted to the hospital after she was diagnosed with COVID-19 and pneumonia a few days ago. Several fans and members from the film industry and other fields took to social media to wish her a speedy recovery.
Indoreans decided to help her heal and are praying for the same. “
