In this deeply introspective conversation, host Gayathri Shivaram sits down with renowned musician and composer Nivas Prasanna to explore the true essence of creativity, art, and spirituality. Nivas shares how his most meaningful work emerges not from trends or external pressure, but from silence, pain, and a deep connection to the divine. He emphasizes the importance of authenticity in music, explaining that soul-driven art naturally resonates because it carries emotional truth and healing power.
The discussion also sheds light on the darker side of the music and film industries—from toxic hierarchies and ego traps to the pressure of personal branding in the age of social media. Nivas critiques the current obsession with virality and substance-fueled creativity, offering instead a path rooted in sobriety, meditation, and spiritual discipline. He speaks candidly about his own inner struggles, the cost of vulnerability, and his belief that pain is a divine gift meant to guide one’s purpose.
More than just a conversation about music, this episode is a meditation on life, healing, and the courage it takes to stay true to yourself. As Nivas reflects on his journey from artist to teacher, the dialogue becomes a powerful call to all creators to return to depth, truth, and meaning. Whether you’re an artist, seeker, or simply someone navigating a noisy world, this episode offers timeless insights into creating—and living—with integrity.
