Nitin Aggarwal what you say is the essence of indian classical music.....the music fills your mind....once that has happened, we are indeed connected :-)
Whether or not people come to accept it-- we are ALL connected exactly like stars in a galaxy or galaxies in a cosmos. How small-minded of many other people to think we are the highest orders of all life and the end-all and be-all of consciousness. Great observation, though. Be sure to spread the love and the wisdom!
India is the mother of all being. One is drawn to her even if it takes 50 years as it was my case. And once you 'know her' you can't let go and as you say, you can't get enough of her. Her people, her music, her devotion. India is now for me, the mother of all being.
i hope you will trust me when i promise your tears are healing old wounds in your soul. Dont fight them, let them flow as long your soul needs it. One day you will not respond as sensitivily as today and something deep inside is healed. This is the gift of real music:)
Yes, India has a long tradition based on deep meditation which gave them insights into the true nature of different aspects of life and human nature. This deep knowledge formed the indian concept of sound and music long long time ago. If we listen with an open heart we can hear gods talking:)
It reaches and appeals those senses which u thought never existed in you..!! U discover a whole new feeling a whole new sense a whole new dimension after listening to this song...
I remember listening to Ravi Shankar in my younger days. It is a real joy now to discover that his daughter is also a gifted musician. Love this music.
How wonderful to listen to Anushka, I spoke to her in her teens and she was standing next to Pandit Ravi Shankar. I have both of their autograph and it was an experience to speak to our beloved Late Ravi Shankar. God bless Anushka.
If jealously would fit in any of my chakras then I'd be reeeeally jealous, lol. But all I can feel is joy for you having had the experience!! Blessings are all three... Pandit, Anushka, and Nora Jones. But most especially the former two because of composing music that speaks to us spiritually, transcending world religions.
Reading all you peoples good comments with this music gives me a better experience. Peace out people let the music heal your heart and soul. we still have hope never let it go .
अद्भुत , अद्भुत आणि केवळ अद्भुत .... ईश्वर करो आणि तुमच्या संगीत साधनेचा सहवास अनेक दशकं आम्हा रसिक श्रोतेजनास तृप्त करत राहो. तुमचं संगीत निराश मनाला जगण्याची एक नवी उमेद देतं परमेश्वराचा आशीर्वाद तुमच्यावर सदैव राहो.
When i heared Anoushka's music for the first time it was a R E V E L A T I O N to me........ Breathing under water is soooo beautiful that it brings tears to my eyes.... Deeply moving & melancholic.... She, Anoushka, is made for the S I T A R...a heavenly instrument... BR E A T H I N G under W A T E R ...like an ancestral longing to live under the sea....were we once belonged maybe?...
Music has the particularity of being a mood creator and a mood follower, so that sensitivity is so relative and has, just as you said; timing sense for each one. In my case, this piece of music, by such a gifted woman in several ways, is a key to approval for my soul and for my delight, at least in this right moment, thanks for sharing.
For me each instrument of human creation has are unique ability in creation of emotional mood in mind. Violin the most sadistic, guitar the most aggressive, flute the most loving and the sithar the most divine. This divine instrument has a quality to lead us to compassion and ultimate bliss.
Thank you very much! Seems like we all hear something similar and deeply human. To be a newborn baby is the same experience all over the world, we need to hear the loving voice sing and welcome us:)
This is the most beautiful sitar musical raga I have heard ..it tells the story of a baby about to be born from the womb...BREATHING IN THE WATER...ANOUSKA IS A CELESTIAL MUSICIAN ...A GHANDAVA... Thank you ...I have seen your father Ravi Shanker in my small hometown in Malaysia...38 years ago...at that time I was only 13 years old...did not have the money to buy a ticket to go inside the hall to listen to your father..Now I am 60 years old...a Chinese.man appreciating raga...
So deep.I have no words to express my feelings... His music will be revered through is daughter now. May Ravi Shankar soul rest in peace. With great love and regards from a small admirer..
Been blessed to have seen Live many of the greatest musicians of this century in this lifetime including RAVI SHANKAR when he first introduced Anoushka on stage and to the West. She was so young and now she's incredible. @years ago a fully pregnant Anoushka walked and glowed passed right next to me in the lobbly at a Karsh Kale concert. She was intensely lovely!
I am silenced… silenced to my core…. I am amazed at the complete, full, unfathomable world of bliss I am witnessing… this Silence that i am experiencing has Sound Brightness, Colour, form, Movement ,Texture to it…everything I could and could not think of.. I am stunned by this Silence…
Tarun, that is a completely natural reaction to true beauty in music.We need to be touched by that very special beauty / love / compassion to able to develope these feelings in our self. Its is like a divine ray enlightens our heart and fills it with deep gratitude:)
It is not possible for any human being to play such divine music. It is clear that goddess Saraswati has merged herself into Anoushka to play such heavenly music.
Thank you for your kind words my friend.. This is the universal, magical uniting force of music and every aspect of its good wiling existence.. Softening people's soul suffering and pain.. helping the rebirth of our lives, somewhere, somehow, sometime.. It feels so comfort sharing my feelings at this time.. May all calm and happiness be with you and the ones you love.. George P
With the Music Rock Melts, Rocks even sing and So I sang today listening to it. Wow!! I am a Biologist and today something struck my mind, that its true... from a Vibration (sound) Life is created. Today, it may be my Intuition but tomorrow me or my siblings, children of mother earth would know it as truth, a proven fact. :)
Absolutely beautiful in every way imaginable...from the softest ripple of a creek...to the roughest crashing of the waves...thank you dear Anoushka...for your gift has taken me to the very roots of nature :)))
I saw Anoushka live with father Ravi in the spring of 2009 at the Chrysler Theater in Norfolk, Va. It was a mesmerizing performance. She was great. Ravi played a smaller scaled down sitar but some of the fire was still there.
The same to you:) Compassion dosnt start to develope before we are hurt. Music is the loveliest way to feel the pain which makes us human. Kalinichta:)
Dechen Palmo "anoushka" is an indian name also written as "anushka" which means grace, flavour or delight & she is the daughter of indian sitar maestro Ravi Shankar
It can be a Russian diminutive of Anna. But there are also other Russian words that sound Indian. Like ogon' which is fire in Russian and agni in Indian language.
GOODDAY, WE JUST LISTEN TO AL OF YOUR 21 VIDEO PLAY LIST FOR THE 1ST TIME. ITS GREAT , WHAT A GREAT SELECTION OF SONGS YOU PUT TOGETHER. YOUR CHANNEL IS REALLY COOL TO US THANKS..
Thanks! I had to remove few Keith Jarrett videos...copyright issues...They limit a lot of creativity.. *sighs* but i´m glad you did enjoy the "leftovers" :)
How absolutely phenomenal! How beautiful! This completely transcends the term "music". If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this is worth infinite billions... Thanks so much for posting this. Peace.
I was really moved when I read,"'But, ultimately, India is her spiritual refuge. 'As soon as I get out of the plane there's a certain feeling of coming home,' says Anoushka, who speaks Tamil (her mother's tongue) and Bengali (her father's). 'I connect to the place in a special way.'" You speak Tamil, and you are a tamil girl. I am so proud. I am equally proud about Geetali (Norah) too. A blooming prodigy of Shankar in the West. - a Tamil fan to the world of music.
Thanks for letting us know:))) I have seen a TV-show with elderly people singing together.. They had concerts, repetions, travelled and some died, but the rest did go on. It ends with a blues solo. What a blues!!! Real Blues!
I totally love you keep playing to the Gods You are so cool. I am a great fan of your fathers and to to hear you is so good. Please keep it up. I liked you playing with Ian Anderson also. Peace Robert
@AS: Des instants précieux nous ravissent totalement dans des flots d'émotion. La vraie vie est alors au coeur de vos notes. Pleinement soi dans ces moments dans lesquelles elles nous absorbent. Vos 2 musiques ont ce pouvoir. Merci! Le bonheur de vos jubilations au détour d'impros. Quel noble art! Votre musique vivra toujours pour guérir nos âmes. En apprenant départ votre père, suis triste comme si Bach ou Ravel, amis précieux. Il vit dans nos coeurs comme dans le votre. Et vous dans le notre.
Thanks! Yes, i fell in love with India through their music - I prefer music before "reality". Easiest way to travel round India is through their music:)
@DechenPalmo Thank you so much for recommending that I listen to Dr L Subramaniam, It was very inspirational to listen to the sounds he can create with a violin! - Jesse
This is what I needed to hear. I am striving to play as such, and hearing something as serene as it is powerful has given me the inspiration to push forward. Thank you so much. As Harshflute has previously said, "I think I'm in love."
@mscynergie That's wonderful! Thanks for sharing! Sounds like you have visited your eternal soul. The good thing is that you can return there when ever you wish.
Thanks! Affection, yes, but loss? It would be intresting to know how you hear it. I feel loving memories flowing through the music..The loss returns as memories.
calming, soothing.. complete relaxation and I get stress free when I listen to this track... This is the magic of Classical Music.... Have been fortunate to listen to her playing in one of a concert in Kolkata...
@dechenpalmo! How very true my friend ! :) I just watched the sunrise to this piece and it was magnifecent!! I even cryed while listeneng to Ana,so beautyfull !!
I wrote my first novel listening to this heavenly piece. Thank you so much.
you did, wonderful... tell me your book title, i am gonna read it
I am not quite sure but when I listen to Indian Classical Music it makes me think how big our world is and we all connect like stars in a galaxy.
Nitin Aggarwal what you say is the essence of indian classical music.....the music fills your mind....once that has happened, we are indeed connected :-)

of course you are sure

O precious Saraswati, how you have sung this heart.
Yes...
i hope you will trust me when i promise your tears are healing old wounds in your soul. Dont fight them, let them flow as long your soul needs it. One day you will not respond as sensitivily as today and something deep inside is healed. This is the gift of real music:)

The beauty Anoushka breathes into this world honors her fathers' memory
Why this song makes me falling in love ?????? Thanks Anoushka , huge melody , mind blowing !!!!!!
It reaches and appeals those senses which u thought never existed in you..!! U discover a whole new feeling a whole new sense a whole new dimension after listening to this song...
Nandini Uptholkar : i agree :)
Nandini Uptholkar beautifully put
Very much felt the same, beautifully said. Amazing visuals took it to the next level. A masterpiece. A beautiful trip.
I remember listening to Ravi Shankar in my younger days. It is a real joy now to discover that his daughter is also a gifted musician. Love this music.

Making a loop of this song is such a wonderful gift. Many thanks and much love to you!
Thank You!
Pure Bliss..!! Close your eyes..music will lift you like a feather and takes to another realm..
Reading all you peoples good comments with this music gives me a better experience.
Peace out people let the music heal your heart and soul. we still have hope never let it go .
chrislitmen You are so right. Never let it go.

Rapture doesn't begin to express what this musician does to my soul. I am taken to heaven and back. Thank you.
Happy to hear that:))

Anoushka Shankar is a world class musician.
Truly immersive with the gentle wind passing through the rains caressing your soul.
ur music came at a time when I was almost giving up on music...spectacular music..namasteee...
oh, dont give up anything, but its obvious music comes in periods...
Give up on anything else, but never give up on music. :-)

I LOVE THIS SOUND SO , MUCH BRINGS TEARS AND JOY AT THE SAME TIME!!!!
I can press like only once... Thank you Dechen Palmo
Thank you very much! Seems like we all hear something similar
and deeply human. To be a newborn baby is the same experience all over the world,
we need to hear the loving voice sing and welcome us:)

I´m very happy to see Anoushka has many good listeners out there!
You enjoy even the sheer emptiness within thyself hearing this.
What a perfect name! This song SOUNDS like being under water. Peaceful, beautiful, and angelic.
So deep.I have no words to express my feelings...
His music will be revered through is daughter now. May Ravi Shankar soul rest in peace. With great love and regards from a small admirer..
Thanks for Looping the same. It is so lovely. India, the divine.
It's unbelievable how talented she and her sister are...
Been blessed to have seen Live many of the greatest musicians of this century in this lifetime including RAVI SHANKAR when he first introduced Anoushka on stage and to the West. She was so young and now she's incredible. @years ago a fully pregnant Anoushka walked and glowed passed right next to me in the lobbly at a Karsh Kale concert. She was intensely lovely!
Lovely Sitar work..Anoushka you are what they call a true prodigy of the Maestro Pandit Ravishankar
I am silenced… silenced to my core…. I am amazed at the complete, full, unfathomable world of bliss I am witnessing… this Silence that i am experiencing has Sound Brightness, Colour, form, Movement ,Texture to it…everything I could and could not think of.. I am stunned by this Silence…
thanx to you Dechen Palmo, for providing this jewel...
and the music, that bound souls.
Tarun, that is a completely natural reaction to true beauty in music.We need to be touched by that very special beauty / love / compassion to able to develope these feelings in our self. Its is like a divine ray enlightens our heart and fills it with deep gratitude:)

It feels so comfort sharing my feelings at this time..
May all calm and happiness be with you and the ones you love..

I think she has made her father very proud. And she is absolutely stunning.
With the Music Rock Melts, Rocks even sing and So I sang today listening to it.
Wow!! I am a Biologist and today something struck my mind, that its true... from a Vibration (sound) Life is created. Today, it may be my Intuition but tomorrow me or my siblings, children of mother earth would know it as truth, a proven fact. :)

The same to you:) Compassion dosnt start to develope before we are hurt. Music is the loveliest way to feel the pain which makes us human. Kalinichta:)
It feels like breathing in Heaven rather than under-water. Oh this is beautiful!
Music from an higher realm... Thanks for sharing.
this is -elegant and beautifully-easy.This is sweet and yet near-natural.This is Anoushka Shankar
I needed this and didn't even know it. My daughter shared it. She knows me almost too well.
Thanx for collecting these. "Anoushka" is a synonym for "delight"!
Sure? It sounds russian. If so its a perfect name for her!
Dechen Palmo "anoushka" is an indian name also written as "anushka" which means grace, flavour or delight & she is the daughter of indian sitar maestro Ravi Shankar
It can be a Russian diminutive of Anna. But there are also other Russian words that sound Indian. Like ogon' which is fire in Russian and agni in Indian language.
Her music brings you so much peace which can't be described. I think that voice-over is done by Kavitha Krishnamurthy but I am not sure
+Uday Kant Naik The Vocals sound like Sunidhi Chauhan.... Actually, I instinctively felt that but then checked up.. it is sunidhi chauhan
GOODDAY, WE JUST LISTEN TO AL OF YOUR 21 VIDEO PLAY LIST FOR THE 1ST TIME. ITS GREAT , WHAT A GREAT SELECTION OF SONGS YOU PUT TOGETHER. YOUR CHANNEL IS REALLY COOL TO US THANKS..
Thanks! I had to remove few Keith Jarrett videos...copyright issues...They limit a lot of creativity.. *sighs* but i´m glad you did enjoy the "leftovers" :)
@TheRealGautama I have'nt heard such a touching beatiful song as this in a very long time. it's so beautiful it brought me to tears.
How absolutely phenomenal! How beautiful! This completely transcends the term "music". If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this is worth infinite billions...
Thanks so much for posting this. Peace.

All music , as such is divine,.Indian classical "raagdari" is indeed a fusion of all.
Raman Manjeshwar
This is one of the very most precious beautiful music I have heard in a very long time. I listen to it all the time. Thank you so much!!
This really calms me down.
Happy to know!
Dechen Palmo It's funny how most of the people here are from countries other than India and most of the people here scarcely appreciate our own music.
Nikhil G its because v r attracted 2 things which v dnt hav :)
Nikhil G so true
Like peace, love, and infinite joy??
I can't stop listening to it. This has something sad but empowering to it a reflection of how my heart feels
