Скачать или смотреть Subhranil Sarkar [Sitar] - Bhairavi bandish (in a Montage created by student Carlos)

"Wherever I have been to, I have always tried to create an environment/eco-system for our Raga music to thrive.

If Raga music was only about notations and technicalities, it would have flourished everywhere on its own . But, truth be told it hasn't everywhere equally. Our music also needs a "Mahol". This Urdu word could be loosely translated into - Environment/Atmosphere/Ambiance/Milieu.

I personally feel that I have learnt more just by being with my Ustadji talking about music, about life, appreciating beauty (be it in food, poetry, films or music), playing cricket with him, than by sitting with the Sitar in front of him.

That atmosphere that I have experienced over two decades (being with him, traveling with him, eating with him, watching films with him, hearing poetry, tabla/dance compositions from him, as also listening and discussing about music) is what I intend to recreate wherever I go. It works the best. I have always made sure that I have time for giving that Mahol to my students. "
