What to say about India? I don’t care who the person is, once you visit India you will never be the same. On so many levels it will confound, inspire, amaze, frustrate, humble and give to you.

I first went in 2003 (Jan-May) to study with my guru Sri Trichy Sankaran. Honestly there are no words to express the impact he has had and continues to have on me. Same can be said for India itself. I was lucky enough to return in 2005/06 (Dec-May) for more studies and in 2008 (Dec-April) I was fortunate enough to stay with him in his residence. Living with him, the learning was constant and not just about music.

Many great friends I have made there and I have been lucky enough to visit different towns and temples of the South, the Andaman Islands far off the Eastern shore, the very bottom at Kanyakumari, the Western Malabar coast, the Himalayan vistas as seen from Sikkim in the far north. So may experiences and revelations.

Please take the time read about them and you will see what I am talking about.
