Maestro M o h d. R a f i S a a b, singer par excellence, paragon of humility and piety, strode the musical landscape of the century like a meteor – enchanting haunting generations of music lovers across all borders. The melody and music Mohd Rafi created and pioneered during 36 long years of his career in Hindi music – has withstood the test of time.
Rafi Saab’s Mellifluous vocals rises like a tide each day bringing along a ‘whiff of fresh air’, caressing the soul with songs for every mood and for every occasion – making music itself proud. No one can sing like Mohd Rafi is the common refrain coming from the hearts of music connoisseurs and Rafi fans alike.
‘Rafians’ – Mohd Rafi fans and admirers are found in large groups – in all parts of the world; his vocals transcending all human barriers and frontiers. Rafians based in Mumbai have now decided to form the ‘Mohd Rafi Music Academy’; which will strive towards:
A. Creating a ‘Rafi Museum’ in Mumbai, the ‘Karma Bhoomi’ of Mohd Rafi Saab.
B. Promote musical talents in the country.
C. Approach the Government Machinery to honor Mohd Rafi Saab posthumously with ‘Bharat Ratna Award’.
D. To celebrate ‘24th every month as Rafi melody day in every city and town .
E. To bring out a newsletter once every month and circulate to music connoisseurs.
Mohd Rafi fans and music lovers are welcome to give their support and ideas to the cause.

Rafi Saheb is not a merely a ulitmate singer he is devdoot for us.
Mohammed Rafisab’s is ultimate as concerned with melody songs. The world got the best of him for people to listen his songs for ever till the humankind exists. Congratulations to his youngest son Khalid in starting up music academy in his name.
I take privlege in introducing Dr. Syed Abbas Salim who is retired doctor as senior DMO from railways at Bangalore. I have been seeing him singing Rafisab’s songs for more 25 yrs on various occasion. He is very good and it is his passion no formal traing a unique talent acquired who sings extempo.
I personally feel he should be recognised during any one future celebration at the academy in presence of Khalidsab.

kisko malum tha khushi banke ayegi sitam
kaun samjha tha is tarah juai hogi
julm karana teri adat hi sahi maut
magar aakhe teri bhi es gum se bhar aai hogi !!
sir I like rafi sahab all song, some song giving gudline, manre so…
I try to sing in his tone and pitch also learnt classical music for years together if any scopes to share art for rafie lovers
No word is enough to describe Rafi Saheb. Everyone of us can only try what Rafi Saheb achieved, we can’t even get close, but i feel he must be watching us , no matter whether you are a music lover or not. I think of him as an Angel and wish everyone has his blessings. Rafi Saheb deserves not only Bharat Ratna but much more than that.
Thank you
Sarthi

The word Rafian seems sought of harsh, may not look so but many individual fans of RAFI sahab will say so.

I agree with you, brajpan ji. but this is done ‘unintentionally’.
the word rafian sounds crude since its associated with the
most ‘gentle’ personality and legend singer of our times.

Happy birth day 2 greatest singer ever born
Dear Anmol,
Great Plan indeed!
But for such a path to reach its objective a concrete plan has to be put forward! A Project Report -and to put in simple words-including costs of land, buildings, staff, recurring expences, feasibility and non-feasibility of the scheme etc etc- with a certain head load should be put forward. Collection of funds etc. with perfect bank accounting and auditing is another matter. That will be a collective effort and no Rafian in this world will back out from it. The Rafian will put in the best he can-for him and for others it is just that any project in the name of Rafisaab should reach its fulfillment. It should be a success. We would be doing a great injustice to Rafisaab’s memory if any project in his memory does not succeed.So, before taking any step forward in announcing such a major project we should be ready with the groundwork- Rest will follow!
Thank you so much for logging me in mohdrafi.com, this is a dream come true for me, i have been grown up hearing Rafi Saheb’s songs, till qayamat, Rafi saheb will be remembered, can’t think of anybody to replace him, just impossible, far far talented much more than lata mangeshkar. Allah bless his soul, ameen.
great suggestion. we the Pakistanis will also contribute for this to be true, to their best.
Regards
Ammad

All Fans of Rafi Sahib, JAI HIND !
It is a great news for every fan of Rafi Sahib that Mohd. Rafi Music Academy is going to be established in Mumbai. Really, it is amazing that someone is so serious about the path, that Rafi showed the world throughout his whole life. The Headquarters of this proposed Academy should be in Mumbai and its branches should be executed in every city of India. The City level (Mohd. Rafi Memorial) Societies should be autonomous, however, they should definitely be affiliated with the above-mentioned Mother Academy of Mumbai. Local City level office-bearers may operate these Societies. Initially, such iniatiatives may be at personal level and afterwards, it might be a National level CAMPAIGN. These Societies will hold the functions in the memory of Rafi Sahib on 31st July & 24th December every year. These functions may include the QUIZ, ANTAKSHRI & other competitions, based upon the songs of Rafi Sahib. The proposed Newsletter may be in English & Marathi languages at Mumbai Headquarters. All the regional Societies will translate this Newsletter in their different regional languages i.e. Punjabi, Haryanvi, Dogri, Bhojpuri, Telgu, Tamil, Malyalam, Urdu, Uriya, Kanadda and distribute the same among laymen. The Rafi Awards may be given to the young talents and others, who ‘ll fulfill the conditions of the Societies. This CAMPAIGN may go Overseas also, then the Societies of abroad would also translate that Newsletter in the languages of respective countries. All these proposed State level Societies ‘ll spread the Musical Messages of Rafi Sahib to this World. These Societies ‘ll struggle to get announced Bharat Ratna for Rafi Sahib posthumously. These Societies may also be busy in other Social Service Activities. These will do the same activities on the same days as the Mother Academy would day on the particular day. The
Rafi Museum will naturally be distinctive. We should strive to change this CAMPAIGN into a MOVEMENT.
Mr. Binu Nair, Mr. Anmol Singh, Mr. Mohan Flora, Mr. P. Narayannan, Mr. Parvez (Kochin-Kerala) may also give their valuable suggestions in this regard.
