God has given such a beautiful life and even more beautiful than that is the knowledge bestowed upon me. The knowledge that I live in, I do my sadhna, my prayers, my music. And I feel fortunate that the country in which I was born, its art and culture is supreme. And the wish is that the almighty gives me strength that in my life, I can take the art and culture of my country forward and also perform well in my art, and connect more and more people possible with this art. This is my most important life mantra.
