This is a rare interview, very well done. Kaushiki Chakraborty is the reason I listen to Indian classical music these days. She is Devi Saraswati, the goddess of Indian music. Great job 👌🏻
I rarely comment on social media, but this guy is an exceptional interviewer who makes the interviewee comfortable, asks intelligent questions and lets them talk without interrupting..Kaushikiji is amazing, a supremely talented musician and I’ve never seen her open up like this before. Kudos!
Karan is such a beautifully soft spoken, respectful host, he smartly puts his questions out without trying to lead the interviewee which helps keep conversations like this authentic and free flowing rather than scripted and fake, kudos to both Karan and Kaushiki for this amazing podcast❤
one of the best way to interview an artist is to allow the artist to express ... which most of the media lacks.. thats why i like this interaction as she was allowed to express her opinion... wonderfully done ..❤
I have never heard her sing. My son learns Carnatic, hence clicked on this. This lady is so deep! She is rooted and how! I am going to show this video to my son. Hope he listens. Her sangeet is her yagna. Pranaam🙏
Hi ... This is a Brilliant piece of spoken words interview ever ... Karan you have done something which may be unknowingly you have scored a full 100 / 100. Its a beautiful and wondrous ... you have brought out a great part of the Great Artiste Kaushiki Chakraborty .
SHE (ONE in BILLION ) IS THE PERFECT INSTRUMENT , *THE EMPTY FLUTE OF THE CREATOR* , to tell us humans, WHAT REAL HUMANITY IS.... ...and with tears in my eyes and gratitude in my heart i bow to *ALMIGHTY FOR CREATING HER* .... 🙏💐🙏💐🙏💐🙏💐🙏
Is not she a relentless cascade of mellifluous serenity!? No doubt the world is fascinated by her musical prowess. But how articulate she is! Such an inspiration ❤
I can't put my feelings into words... it felt like atma and Maa Saraswati were imparting wisdom about musical art, the sadhana needed to excel in a chosen field, and how this practice is essentially an inward journey of self-discovery and this journey not only enriches oneself but also aids others in their life journeys. Thank you is a too small word Maa Saraswati..
I saw Kaushiki ji recently in Austin. Wow, besides the fact, she is ' Maa Saraswathi', she is so humble. What struck me the most, is the way she recognized all the musicians who supported her on the stage. Perhaps, all the old clowns ( sorry that's what I think of them) who claim to be masters... learn from her! Way to go Kaushiki and the next time you are in Austin, please come home
What a beautiful interview, indeed! Huge fan of Kaushiki ji, and loved to see her talk about so many unusual stuff! Loads and loads of love from Islamabad, Pakistan.
She is a immensly valuable asset to the country and the funny thing is most of the masses isn't even aware of her talent and laurels!! Great interview!!
This is the best every podcast I have watched.All my Praanams to Kaushiki Ma'am . The only lady inspire me .Thank You So Much for Showing us the best ! All I can hear her sweet voice in my mind .🙏🙏🙏
Fascinating interview from heart ❤️ Kudos to Karan that he brought Kaushiki Jee into that zone, where she felt so free to express her thoughts so beautifully.🎉
This interview is such an asset. The more I listen to her speak out her thoughts , her philosophies the more I understand by her musical expression. Her inner beauty and unique persona reflects in her music and why it is so different from everyone including her own legendary father and the more I fall in love with it. It's not easy to daughter of an enigma like panditji and curve your own path musically and otherwise and create your identity in one's youth itself , but she has done it and so beautiful. As a bengali and a student of music , I feel so proud that pt Ajoy Chakrabarty , vidushi kaushiki Chakraborty exists and they are representing bangalees in this field worldwide.. .Thankyou karan for this interview..
Thank you karan for exploring the inner side of kaushiki ji and making her comfortable to be herself. It was amazing learning process throughout podcast.
I was long time searching for this kind of podcast to know about classical music. What i was looking for i found it in this video. It changed my perspective to look at music. Thank you so much❤😊
This guy is one of the most sensible and complimenting hosts I have ever heard. Have always been a mad fan of Kaushiki ji and her vision but Karan really contributed so much in bringing out the best of the conversation.
What a beautiful mindset she has.... kudos... i have seen her in Pune music festival called Savai Gandharv.... she is god sent.... she herself is a devi
Her views made me remember what the great respected Kishori Amonkar used to say ... Yes , the doer vanishes and the raga manifests , takes over ....or one becomes the raga himself ..ven the audience becomes one , abstract but can see that... That is real rendition or music .. Thank you ...🙏
I've never heard kaushiki like this !!! Wow.. what a fabulous and enlightening podcast. Thank you karan for the space you have created for such insightful conversations ! ❤🙏
So articulate,so insightful. As an ardent Carnatic music follower I love listening to Kaushikiji. The ability to look at others’ lives with a deep understanding is exceptional. Sincere support for progress in a life of music and what is possible through this.
The way she carries herself in gratitude. And such a humble lady. I love you a lot mam. My day especially starts with a prem mudit man se kaho ram Naam raam. Such a very beautiful and well character women ❤️
Thank you for this wonderful interview. Kaushik ji is genuinely humble and wise person. This was the first time I am watching this channel and what it was truly refreshing to listen to this conversation. Karan has done an amazing job. 👏👏👏.
There's so much I learn whenever I listen to Kaushiki ji about life. She teaches us to value life's values which makes you a true human. Her greatness is not only in her mastery of music . I am a senior citizen but I have lot of respect for her for being such a fantastic human being. My love and regards to her.
Every word, every phrase, every nuance had magic in it and it hit the right chords. I have deep love and respect for this real artist. I love Kaushiki. Thanks for the superb interview. It is indeed an educational experience.
What an authentic discussion! Kudos to Karan for creating that space 🎉. ( This podcast) In reverence to Kaushiki Ji’s humanity, dedication towards her craft, her meeting the crafts-woman who are not spoken about , and not sounding too much like a feminist but a humanist…the words used to articulate in the language also need to change…. Perhaps usage of mankind needs to reduce and humankind needs to increase? Kaushiki ji’s thought process and articulation is as important as presentation of her craft for future generations to introspect and bring up their better selves to forth. ❤
Such a beautiful podcast! Love the questions.. so relevant and so on point. Kaushiki ji is such an inspiration… her voice so smooth, her words so articulate… this podcast really brings out the depth of her character.
very very pleasant artist with south indian touch...lovely soulful voice....taking care of all listeners by all means...Her untiring hard work and bhagavan ka asirwad be hi..
This is THE BEST PODCAST I have ever seen!!! Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful opportunity to hear Kaushiki Chakrabarti Ji so closely.. Thankyou so much🙏🙏🙏
Really introduced being herself as her best vocal journey & well human being , how to manage to actually deserve peace & flow the vibration of moods of swaras in intransitive in heart with rydhem nerve.
What an incredible Artist🙏🙏🙏 Had a privilege to cherish Kaushikiji's concert in Bangalore. this interview explored the soul path of ma'am.... She is the embodiment of...Maa Laxmi's Beauty, Parvathi's Shakthi and Maa saraswathi's Wisdom 🙏🙏 Rare gem, Sangeeth Saadhak of our times🙏🙏 Pranaam 💝
“The WHY can’t be taught it’s introspective “ 1:30:39 It made me think why I do music and I realised it’s the way I can talk to Waheguru and I can sing in his praise that how awesome he is nd I can expresss my deepest emotions to him which I haven’t been able to express to people Feeling awestruck by this podcast nd the things she said
Simplicity, humility, grace, elegance, yet a magnificence that ascends to Himalayan heights is unique, and this is what separates Kaushiki Chakraborty from the rest of Indian artistes, many of whom feel that they have reached the pinnacle of accomplishments, and not "a work in progress" as she describes herself, ready to explore the infinite potentiality of music and humanity. Her classical skills, blossoming into mesmerizing art has been achieved through discipline, perseverance, and complete submission to the feet of a master, who was no other than her revered father Ajay Chakraborty, a gift she has not taken lightly. The world of music, and the world of Indian classical music is fortunate to have such an amazing talent and commitment to preserve and expand the pristine values of our ancient culture. May that Divinity that drives her work continues to fuel the blazing light of brilliance that epitomizes her personality.
This is such a genuine immensely deep impacting Masterclass regardless of what your quest is. Such a beautiful storyteller Chakraborty is, and how she so casually dissects, connects and re-purposes knowledge, experiences and feelings. This is an Epic interview. Bravo Karan! Exemplary!
Karan, brother u r too unique in this podcast. U r different from others, doing podcast these days. And what to say about Kaushiki ji, for me she is an epitome of Indian Classical Music..... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Such a gem of an interview in its true spirit! Koushiki is not an artiste but a phenomenon. The clarity and depth with which she sings she speaks her mind too. Very articulated, introspected and thought-provoking answers she delivered which are to be listened to in solitude to purify ourselves and to delve into our real selves. Karan is to be applauded too for creating such an ambience and providing the liberating space where an artiste of her caliber could open her mind and soul. It just happens once in a blue moon!!
You have asked the most relevant questions and the answers were so prompt and straight forward. Kaushikiji is like ma saraswati for me. Best podcast I have heard ever. Keep up the good work!
You leave a mark on your audience not just when you sing but also when you articulate your thoughts...❤ Kudos to the interviewer...👏 The iconic Kaushiki Ji ❤
such absolute clarity of perspective kaushiki ji has, it transcends sheer knowledge and experience and reflects her flawless ideology. huge respect. thank you for making it possible for kaushiki ji's thoughts to reach us.
This interview showcased the beautiful persona of Kaushikiji. She seems like someone as an ordinary person but with extraordinary abilities to interweave her art with pure life incidents and live humbly throughout the journey.
What a brilliant and mind blowing episode! It was truly learning. I’ve always wanted to know Kaushiki more as a person and now am completely blown away! Ati sundar!
First time i saw and heard such a wonderful interview. Kaushikiji is a great human being. Karan, best wishes to you for conducting the talk so brilliantly.
This interview was one of the best interviews ive seen. It’s so rare to find people who are this legendary and original in today’s world, it was so inspiring listening to her. Thank you for making this episode.
Very rarely does one come across an artiste who can articulate her thought processes and the underlying processes that make an artiste evolve and become what she is - this is a master class about life itself and one gets mesmerized , drawn into the conversation and can relate to the introspection. Brilliantly conducted and answered interview. It is so organic and free flowing - the listener gets swept along and becomes part of the podcast.
Fabulous inter - view. Thank you for opening your world, your heart and your wisdom to with us. Your parents have given you not just the music but an innocence and humbleness that is ingrained in your being. Blessed you are indeed ! Thank you for enriching our lives. Greetings from Switzerland ....my wife and myself will play your divine music in the Alps with the hope to greet you personally one day here. Pranams.
This has been the best way I've spent my time this week. The content is so rich that I took notes every single day listening to this podcast. I'm definitely gonna come back to listen to it💕💕
It’s not just an Interview, but it’s a life book. She explained an approach to life and challenges very meticulously. Feel proud to be in an era of her. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Salute to her Ideology!!
Wow! My respect for Kaushiki ji increased by leaps and bounds after watching this interview. I was a fan of her singing but today I saw what a wonderful human being she is!
A truly honest conversation.. thanks a ton. Kaushikijis dept in thought and clarity is so profound.. she is a wonderful human being besides a great artist
Brilliant interview. Her words and thoughts are soulful ♥ . I feel like i just opened a book for all my doubts about being an artist and existence of the art itself . Thank u soo much for this Interview karan chaugh . Love from kerala

Here too she acts as a child who understands and appreciates classical music
"Responsibility without ownership is the absolute bottom line truth of Indian spirituality" ❤
This is a rare interview, very well done. Kaushiki Chakraborty is the reason I listen to Indian classical music these days. She is Devi Saraswati, the goddess of Indian music. Great job 👌🏻
Why Kaushiki is Devi Saraswati and Lata is Ma Saraswati? Can’t we Indians stop comparing mortals with gods?
Don't compare her to goddess Saraswati. Ok.
@@nuranichandra2177U Are Right . Hindu's Should Learn All This From Childhood. Stop Comparing People To God, Goddess. Neither Player Nor Artists. 😕
Í saw two of her long interviews. One with Our Stupid Reactions online during Covid. Other was with Shankar Mahadevan with his disciples.
I rarely comment on social media, but this guy is an exceptional interviewer who makes the interviewee comfortable, asks intelligent questions and lets them talk without interrupting..Kaushikiji is amazing, a supremely talented musician and I’ve never seen her open up like this before. Kudos!
Thank you so much, means alot ❤️
I am a huge fan of Kaushikiji🙏. She has as much clarity in her thoughts as her taans 🙏
Karan is such a beautifully soft spoken, respectful host, he smartly puts his questions out without trying to lead the interviewee which helps keep conversations like this authentic and free flowing rather than scripted and fake, kudos to both Karan and Kaushiki for this amazing podcast❤
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️
I've subscribed to his channel, because of this.

Each sentence she speaks is Gold. Amazing podcast.❤️❤️

This is what Bharatiya Culture can make you, if you commit to it.. what life is all about...absolute respect Kushikiji , absolute respect

Is not she a relentless cascade of mellifluous serenity!? No doubt the world is fascinated by her musical prowess. But how articulate she is! Such an inspiration ❤
Music - Singing & Composition Is A God Gift Talent. Not Easy As It Looks From Outside. 🎵🎸🎺😐
I can't put my feelings into words... it felt like atma and Maa Saraswati were imparting wisdom about musical art, the sadhana needed to excel in a chosen field, and how this practice is essentially an inward journey of self-discovery and this journey not only enriches oneself but also aids others in their life journeys.

Every single sentence is a learning ❤️❤️❤️
So much wisdom

In reverence to Kaushiki Ji’s humanity, dedication towards her craft, her meeting the crafts-woman who are not spoken about , and not sounding too much like a feminist but a humanist…the words used to articulate in the language also need to change….

“The WHY can’t be taught it’s introspective “ 1:30:39

Feeling awestruck by this podcast nd the things she said

Listening to this unfiltered version of Vidushi Kaushikiji just makes me so immensely happy to be a lifelong student of music ❤
never thought this was possible, to have her to talk about stuff. She's truly a goddess
This is such a genuine immensely deep impacting Masterclass regardless of what your quest is. Such a beautiful storyteller Chakraborty is, and how she so casually dissects, connects and re-purposes knowledge, experiences and feelings. This is an Epic interview. Bravo Karan! Exemplary!
