In intricate domains like Indian Classical Music, mastering the art, compositions, and techniques from Gurus can be challenging, as not everyone is willing to generously share the wisdom passed down to them. Understanding the hardships faced by individuals on their musical journey, I harbor no blame for this reluctance. Fortunately, I am privileged to have Guru Sri Prasad Khaparde, whose wholehearted teaching knows no reservations. Inspired by his generosity, I aspire to adopt this noble quality. Renowned spiritual scholar Sri Velukkudi Krishnan once stated, "Music has chosen you in this lifetime to be a musician only to spread, share, and pass on the art and learnings to other people." Committed to this philosophy, I aim to archive my learnings, ensuring access to these invaluable treasures for future generations.
