बाँसुरी की आवाज बहुत शांति देती हैं।अब समझ आया कि गोपियाँ भगवान कृष्ण की बाँसुरी सुनने में क्यों लीन हो जाती थी ।🙏🙏🙏

I think flute is most delicate of all instruments, balance in blowing pressure, tunes, rhythms ...just not at all easy.... that's why Krishna chose this simple looking but highly meditative instrument! ☺️

I'm speechless!! That's it
I love Indian traditional classic music, i have heard a lot of Indian musicians, but what make me to be so closed to that, was a connection between Epirus ( a regional north of Greece) traditional music and Indian musicians. This happen on July 2000, in Theater ( Πέτρας), Petroupoli, Athens- Greece.
From one side were Greek musicians with legendary clarinet player, Petroloukas Chalkias with his group and from the other side were Indian musicians with Rakesh Chaurasia. When i was watching this video and the name of the guy, i said, wait a second.
This cooperation was done because there is a similarity in between those two groups. And to me i have to say that there is no other musician than that of Indian which goes in a perfect way with Epirus music, which is " pentatonic. Better never!!

И представить себе не мог, что в Индии, многомиллионой Стране, есть такие потрясающие музыканты. Теперь я глупый знаю, что благословенная Индия, чрезвычайно богата гениями, и не только в музыке, но и во всех сферах науки и искусства. Спасибо Интернет!

This music is beautiful I cant stop playing it I've even ordered a bansuri to try and learn myself I've been overwhelmed by the hypnotic sound' it reaches your soul absolutely' beautiful I love Indian music its rhythmic but gentle but very expressive 🙏💚💚💚

Surprisingly more comments from non Indians. Just shows how the most of the the new gen would rather listen to western music. Also the new indian music which is being made is typically western in style.
Me too a 22 yr old used to think about the classical music as boring, obsolete and used to mock it. I am really sorry.
More than sorry, I am so disgusted at myself for not even giving it a hear for so many years of my life.
Its just beautiful and magical...
All the emotions expressed without words.

[mohmedelkhatimomar]

words cant explain what does it feel when you hear this.
its heavenly music

[sahilbhardwaj]

All the people that disliked the video thought that was the download button. Such a serene piece of music <3

[jsmokez]

[irinabarbulescu]

I do not know why and it is not important either but every time I hear a bansuri I feel at home, I travel to a different dimension, my heart is smiling and is joyful. <3

[LostLakes]

Wow. I played the (western) flute in grade school and have always missed it. I'm inspired to try the bansuri after watching this master. The tabla was incredible as well.

i remember seeing his uncle play in a small church in the UK some decades ago.. I realised there that when you go deep enough in any tradition you meet all the others.. it was pure classical Hindustani without any deviation.. and was also funk, soul pop and jazz at the same time.. Rakesh has this too.. those chromatic runs are beyond rag.. yet at the same time are sitting so perfectly right in the centre of them… a true genius of our time.. a voyager beyond tradition through it’s centre and out the other side..
