‘Ameeras’ is a captivating collection of compositions by renowned Indian Classical musician and vocalist, Mandar Karanjkar. Inspired by the profound expressions found in Indian mystic literature and poetry, Mandar has imbued these compositions with a depth that reflects the eternal wisdom of the ages.

The title ‘Ameeras,’ drawn from the poetry of Saint Raidas, means “divine nectar” or “the elixir of immortality.” Mandar’s choice of this title embodies his commitment to the transformative power of mystic poetry. Through these compositions, listeners are invited to explore the infinite within the confines of the mortal body.
