Miss. Sona Jadhav (Bharadwaj) is a well known Sufi Singer from Indore. She has worked hard, struggled a lot and then become a self-made person who came to be called by everyone as the “Modern Meera”. Spiritualism and faith in God are her main aspects.  Through these aspects she transformed herself into a good singer.

She is gifted with many qualities that differentiate her from other persons. She is polite, well-behaved, rich with philosophical qualities, not stable but filled with patience. She started her singing when she was only 11 years old. Nobody must have thought that these small wings would fly so high.

She was born on 21st May 1981 at Indore. Her parents are Late Sri.C.P.Jadhav and Smt.Meena Jadhav.  She made herself stable with perseverance. She was heartbroken when her father died accidentally in the year 1997. But she knew how to come out of her deep sorrow and grief. Self realization was there and she came at the top ten and from then onwards she never looked back.

She is into Saibaba fold for the past 18 years and since then She has give Sai Bhajan Sandhya performances in Many Saibaba Temples, Public Functions all over India.

Once upon a time there was a king who was one-eyed. He called many artists to draw his portrait. One of the artist thought that if I would show one eye, the king might be angry so he drew a beautiful two eyed portrait. Second artist wanted to depict the reality so he made one eyed photograph. Third one made the portrait in which the king had the arrow on the bow. Because of that, the fault of the eye was hidden. All the three pictures were beautiful but the third one won the prize. That means he presented the truth with wisdom. This means that in the age of physical and outer appearance, struggle for self existence, busy schedule where there is no place for philosophy, spiritualism, thinking and creativity. This is the hard fact known by Sona. Nevertheless she tries and her effort can be told incomparable and superb. Continuity is the part of here life. She has really become Sona (Gold) and nobody is there to stand with her.

She is devotee of Lord Khatoo Shyam Baba and sings for Matarani. She has presented more than 700 programmes throughout the country and even Home Minister of Madhya Pradesh could not control himself on his birthday after hearing the Songs of Sona. She has compered and shared the stage with many famous artists like Raja, playback singer Richa Sharma, Sonu Nigam, Tripti Shakya, and Anu Kapoor and many national lever actors. Her journey from Indore to Mumbai is really unbelievable and excellent.

The Devotee of Lord Shyam Baba, Shri Nandkishore Sharma (Nanduji) composed hymns and these hymns were sung by Sona. The second edition of the hymns was wonderful and praised by one and all. The name of the album was “Radha ka Chitchor” (2007). After this marvelous presentation Sona Jadhav got new position, name and fame.

Prior to this album was the hymns written by Kiran Mishra “Chala Re Mann Guru Sharan Mein” (2004). Sona Jadhav sung the hymns in the album and got a great deal of appreciation. It is because of her continuous efforts that she is getting laurels and applauds.  

“Path kya pathik kushalta kya,
Yadi path me beekahre shul na ho,
Navik ki dhairya kushalta kya
Jab dharayen pratikkul na ho.”

There are not many hinderances in Sona’s creativity despite many problems. Even if t is there she approved all hindrances as she considers…

“Kadam badhao sathi
Fikra manzil ki naa karo,
Manzil to ek padhav hai
Ise pakar aahen na bharo.”

She reflects the Sufiyani Gayaki. There is a wonderful co-ordination of bhakti, sangeet in her bhajans. This is the only reason why her bhajans are listened with love, care and with ease and they are praised by listeners.

Learning gives creativity
Creativity leads to thinking
Thinking provides knowledge
Knowledge makes you great.

These lines are written by former President of India. These lines seems to be suggestive and gifted to a great personality, creatively and an artist. She always wants to learn and that zeal for learning made her (Beat The Best). Hard-work, perseverance, determination gave her position that has no bar…

She also considers that…

“Waqt ke saath badalna hai Humme apna mizaz,
Agar hum na badle to haalat badal jayenge”


This is only the result of her thinking that her qualities are her recognition.

In her such as little age, she experienced a lt. The founder of “Sufiyana Gayaki” Sona  Jadhav depicts her full faith in God and realistic importance in the creativity of hymns. With the song “Ekhla Chalo…” she is very close to her destination which has been her dream.

Among many famous artists and singers, she has mutual understanding and quality of behavior because of which she is able to maintain the relationship. Daughter of Goddess Saraswati “Sona Jadhav” has music in her veins. There is a flow of “Sur Sangeet” in her every part of body. That direct flow of sangeet is always loved to be heard.

In between the boundless sea if anybody gives us true definition of the reality of music, singing hymns, then she has only the right to be given the honor. And that honor, no doubt can be given to “Miss Sona Jadhav”.
