I wish every Indian/Pakistani/Hindu/Muslim saw ...and stop fighting with each other in the name of religion/nationalism. This music is inspired by Hindu and Islamic mysticism and is being played in a Christian Church .. God is too big to be put in a box.. HE/SHE/IT is bigger than the biggest box you can think of ... Giving God a name like Rama or Vishnu or Allah .. is putting God in a box. God is infinite -- yet within us .. and if Infinity is within you - Who are you? and who am I?

Its fascinating to me . . . how different civilizations, all over the world, made their own ancient tones and sounds . . . and even tho they are all different . . . they all sound so tender and beautiful . . .

It's always a pleasure to listen to Suhail's voice and the way he plays Sarangi, he literally puts everything on fire!

[adarshyadav]

It was good to hear you, but the best thing was that you are carrying forward our traditional music to next generation. People have lost interest in our pure Indian music, may God send more people like you ..
All the best for your future..
