Sunta hai guru gyani
Gagan me awaaz ho rahi hai jheeni jheeni
Sunta hai guru gyani

Paahi liyaye
Naad bindu se peechhe jamaya paani ho ji
Sab ghat puran guru rahya hai
Alakh purush nirvaani ho ji
Sunta hai guru gyani

Vahaa se aaya pata likhaya
Trushna toone bujhai
Amrut chhod chhod vishay ko dhaave
Khol de phaans phansaani ho ji
Sunta hai guru gyani

Gagan mandal mein koi
Boi pe dahi jamaya
Makhan makhan santon ne khaya
Chhar jagat babarani ho ji
Sunta hai guru gyani

Bin dharti ek ma daal deeje
Bin taruvar joo paani re
Gagan mandal me hoye ujiyala
Bol guru-mukh baani ho ji
Sunta hai guru gyani

Oham soham baja baje
Tipu ki tham suhani re
Ida pingala sukhman nari
Sunatha ja behrani ho ji
Sunta hai guru gyani

Kahe Kabir suno bhai saadho
Jaag agam ke baani re
Din bhar re jo nazar bhar dekhe
Ajar amar ho nishani ho ji

Sunta hai guru gyani
Gagan me awaaz ho rahi hai jheeni jheeni
Sunta hai guru gyani

Vasundhara Komkalimath formed a memorable duo with him in bhajan singing.Their daughter Kalapini Komkalimath would later accompany both her parents on tanpura.Some of Kumar Gandharva's ideology is carried forward by his son Mukul Shivaputra Komkalimath and daughter, as well as students such as Madhup Mudgal, Shubha Mudgal, Vijay Sardeshmukh and Satyasheel Deshpande. Kumarji's grandson Bhuvanesh (Mukul Shivaputra's son) has also made a name for himself as classical singer.
