always working towards the enhancement of the art of
Indian classical music and to give it a unique quality,
with his refined voice and his way of moulding the ragas
and the bandish to suit his chosen style. Endowed
with the face of an intellectual, his temperament, like
his music, is serene, unruffled. He wants to extended the
same courtesy to all, big and small, and let the new artists
know the theoretical and practical necessity of learning
gayaki by listening attentively to the content
and the feel of the ragas, the bandish,
and the taranas in which he has done considerable
research. According to him, the ragas have a mystical
significance. He wants to set an example through his own
art, and cultivate a genuine and widespread love for serious,
contemplative music into the hearts of young music lovers
all over the country.
Panditji is very open minded and readily teaches the technical
aspects and nuances of Hindustani Classical Music to the
youngsters and devotes himself to the spreading of this
art and the philosophical aspects behind it to as many people
as he can, through the meduim og his Gurukul, so that more
and more people can share, enjoy and draw inspiration from
this fabulous treasure of Hindustani Classical Music.
Walking at pace with technology, and to
be able to reach out to his students outside Mumbai as well
as the country, he also uses the medium of web cameras to
reach his students. For all those who really want to learn
from him and are unable to do so due to their geographic
location and distance, he trains them through regular video
conferencing sessions to make sure that all his students
get equal guidance and attention from him, no matter where
they are located on the globe.”
