✨SANGEET SAMARPAN ✨A Tribute to our Guru, Ustad Dhyanesh Khan

Some words stay with you for a lifetime.

One of the most beautiful things my grandfather, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, ever said was:

"Music is like a river or stream that has come down to us through time, bringing nurture to man's soul. From the past masters, this music flowed to my father and through him to me. I want to keep this stream flowing. I don't want it to die. It must spread all over the world."

These words are more than a quote they are a philosophy and a responsibility.

Music is not something we own. It is a living tradition entrusted to us by our gurus and ancestors. We are merely its caretakers, preserving its purity while ensuring that it continues to inspire generations to come.

Every time I pick up the sarod, I am reminded that I am a small part of this timeless stream. My only hope is to help keep it flowing, just as my grandfather wished. 🙏🎶

Some dreams deserve to live on.

For many years, my late father Ustad Dhyanesh Khan dreamt of creating a platform where gifted young artists could be discovered, encouraged, and given an opportunity to perform before an audience. He believed that talent should never go unnoticed simply because someone lacked a stage.

With his blessings in my heart, I have decided to take a step towards fulfilling that dream.

This September/October, we plan to launch Medha – Search Talents, an initiative dedicated to discovering aspiring singers and instrumentalists who have never had the opportunity to perform publicly.

If you know someone with genuine talent, passion, and dedication to music, please introduce them to us. We would be honoured to help them take their first step onto the stage.

This is more than an event. It is the continuation of a dream, a tribute to a vision, and an effort to nurture the next generation of artists.

🎶🙏

Medha – Search Talents
Because every talent deserves a chance.
