सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In 'Natyasangeet', a 'God Aavaj' is considered a prerequisite for the lead 'Nayaka' or 'Nayika'. It's not just about technique, but the 'sweetness' that connects with the audience's heart. Parents often encourage children to speak in a 'God Aavaj' to teach them politeness and social etiquette. It is part of 'Sanskar' (upbringing). The Varkari saints emphasized 'Nam-Smaran' (chanting) in a sweet, devoted voice. They believed God listens to the 'sweetness' of devotion. In the era of FM radio in Maharashtra, RJs with a 'God Aavaj' became household names, often referred to as 'Voice of Maharashtra'.
