About Music for the Soul: Bhajans & Chants
These aren't just performances; they are attempts to reach a higher frequency. When I play the 'Shiv Tandav Stotram' or 'Shiv Kailash,' I’m not just hitting notes—I’m aiming to create a space where you can drop your guard, breathe, and actually feel something. My goal is to use the Sitar to bridge the gap between ancient devotion and your current state of mind.
I grew up with the sounds of the Sitar and the wisdom of my Guru, Pt. Ravi Shankar. These bhajans and chants are more than a setlist for me; they are a direct line to my roots. Whether it’s the power of the 'Shiv Tandav Stotram' performed in the historic Patan Darbar Square or the folk warmth of 'Shiv Kailash' taught to me by my mother, every piece is designed to ground you.
I use the Sitar to explore different 'Rasas' or emotions—channeling the courage of 'Veer Rasa' with my composition 'Chanakya,' or the love and devotion of 'Shringhar' in 'Shankara.' It’s about taking the ancient, heavy energy of these ragas and making them accessible for the modern world.
If you’re looking to host an event that’s less 'background music' and more 'immersive experience,' let’s chat. Whether it’s an intimate gathering needing deep silence or a larger celebration where you want the energy to be high but meaningful, we can make it happen. I bring the same focus and sound engineering care to these private sessions as I do to my international tours.
