In 2009, I traveled to Varanasi, India to study with 14th generation master musician Pandit Vikash Maharaj. For two months, I lived with my teacher and his family and my days were totally devoted to practicing Indian Classical music. It was a period of deep personal and creative exploration. At the end of the journey, we went into the studio and recorded this album in one take. With no overdubs or second chances, this recording is an honest document of a moment in time. It is a portrait of a guru and his closest disciples walking their Paths together.
Samadhi is a state of total absorption in meditation that is the goal of Indian Music. For thousands of years, countless generations of masters have passed this sacred spiritual knowledge to their disciples.
Indian Classical music is based on "raga" which is a traditional form of melodic improvisation. The spontaneous exploration of all the variations of the melody can bring a performer into a state of samadhi or deep meditation where the music flows through them as if on its own. Ragas and Indian music can be thought of as a spiritual technology of meditation. Through disciplined practice, also called sadhana, musicians can learn to attain a state of samadhi when they play.
The music in this video was performed on bansuri (Indian flute), sitar, sarod, and tabla. Bansuri is a bamboo flute traditionally associated with the Hindu god Krishna. Sitar is a long-necked instrument with many strings that was made popular in the Western world by Ravi Shankar. Sarod is a fretless short-necked string instrument with a bridge mounted on a resonating membrane similar to that of a banjo. Tabla is a pair of small drums played virtuosically with the fingers.
Take a deep breath and allow this music to take you on a spiritual journey into a state of samadhi meditation. Or use it to inspire your yoga practice. The important thing is to show up for your own sadhana, in whatever form that takes.

Super! I just played this for the first time, and did a standing meditation pose, eyes closed. The hour went by too quickly. Felt great during and after.

If you come here because you need that little bit of peace, let me tell you please don't give up. You have to keep fighting. That stronger, faster, better you is waiting at the end of whatever battle you're fighting. It's not the end. It's only the beginning. You have to get up. Despite the numerous times you've been slammed into the ground you have to dust yourself off and ask "is that all you got?" Because you're strong. Know it. Own it. Trust me, I know. And if you have to go down, go down fighting with everything you've got. Never stop fighting. Please. I'm sure someday we will meet and show our battle scars and talk about how we made it. Sleep easy tonight. You need to rest. Blessings and Love❤❤❤
