Mere Khatu Vale: my Khatu Shyam bhajan

Cover art for मेरे खाटूवाले by Sushmita Srivastava

Mai tere dar pe aai hu, O mere khatuwale.

That is the line the whole bhajan grows from, and it is the line in the teaser I have released. Mere Khatu Vale is a heartfelt offering to Khatu Shyam Ji — a bhajan about surrender and faith, and about arriving at a door with nothing except the arriving.

A prayer from the soul of every Shyam bhakt.

The lyrics and composition are by Poet MK. The music, mixing and mastering are by R3zR. The video was shot and edited by Jovial Production. I sang it.

What is up on the channel now is only a teaser — eighteen seconds of it. The full bhajan is coming, and I will say so here when it does. If you want to be there when it lands, turn on notifications on the channel.

Agar aap bhi Shyam Baba ke bhakt hain, toh comment mein likhiye: Jai Shyam.

One practical note: the full recording of this bhajan is already on the site as Shyam Baba, so if you cannot wait for the release you can hear the whole thing there today.

Baarish ek ehsaas hai. That is the whole idea, and it is what I called the song when I released it.
