From Bhajans to Vedic Mantras, the Award-Winning Singer Blends Raag Yaman Kalyan and Spiritual Devotion for a Soulful Offering

Renowned singer Jaanvee Prabhu Arora, known for her powerful connection to devotional and spiritual music, has composed and sung the title track for the podcast The Vedas Speak. Titled “Om Krishnaay Vasudevaay,” the track is deeply personal and spiritually resonant—rooted in Vedic traditions and her own lifelong devotion.

With a career that spans nearly two decades in Marathi cinema and several prestigious awards including the Maharashtra State Award, Dadasaheb Phalke Award, and Mirchi Music Award, Jaanvee’s foray into spiritual compositions like the Hanuman Chalisa, Gayatri Mantra, and Mahamrityunjay Jaap has given her “a sense of divine peace,” as she puts it.

Reflecting on how the title track came into being, Jaanvee shared,

> “The creator of the podcast, Dr. Sammeer Arora, is my husband. I’ve witnessed his spiritual journey and his passion to create something unique in the realm of Vedic knowledge for years. When Paparazzi Entertainment approached me with this project, it felt natural, almost like destiny.”

She further revealed that the shlok used in the title, Om Krishnaay Vasudevaay, is one she has chanted since childhood.

> “To be able to compose and sing it felt like a divine gift,” she said.

For Jaanvee, working on this project was not just a professional assignment—it was a spiritual offering.

> “The podcast aims to revive lost traditions and bring Vedic wisdom to a contemporary audience. That mission gave my music deeper meaning,” she explained. “The approach to the show is unique, and I wanted the music to reflect that.”

Incorporating ancient musical principles, she based the composition on Raag Yaman Kalyan, blending it with traditional flute melodies symbolic of Lord Krishna, and subtle Western rhythms to create a contemporary-yet-sacred soundscape.

> “Among the four Vedas, Saamveda is the Veda of music. I believe whenever an artist performs, they awaken this Veda. That belief guided me in this creation,” Jaanvee said.

The response to the track has been overwhelmingly positive.

> “Listeners have told me the song feels meditative and powerful. I kept the vocals minimal and sincere. While recording, I completely surrendered to Lord Krishna. It was a moment of pure devotion,” she shared.

Though Jaanvee is well-versed in singing for film and television, she describes composing spiritual music as something entirely different—and far more challenging.

> “Film music follows a character or a scene. But in devotional music, you follow your faith. It requires complete surrender, which is difficult but also beautiful,” she said, adding, “For this title track, I truly believe Krishna held my hand through every note.”

With The Vedas Speak, Jaanvee Prabhu Arora has not just composed a song—she has crafted an experience that connects listeners to something much deeper than melody. It is a spiritual bridge between ancient Vedic traditions and the modern listener, carried by a voice that believes in every word it sings.
