Your Voice surely does have the power to heal you and help discover a ‘New You’ hidden under the layers of mind clutters and hesitations.

If you ever wanted to discover and explore your authentic chanting voice and its possibilities under a nurturing and supportive guidance, this is your place to be.

You will traverse on a celestial journey of healing and soothing sound vibrations. A four-stringed Indian drone instrument, called the Tanpura, will provide you the backdrop to paint your picture of the sound coming through you.

You will experience the life changing powers of Nāda Yoga – the Yoga of sound in which we meditate and contemplate on single vowel sounds to create magic in our voice and our hearts.

You will learn Indian Mantras/Kīrtans and chant your heart out for a rich vibrational and healing experience.

Through this, you will be experiencing the rich and therapeutic sounds of Indian Classical Music through a performance given by the master musician Sudhanshu Sharma – and that too, LIVE!

Come, let the Divine flow through you!

ABOUT SUDHANSHU SHARMA:

Real Music happens when the soul sings and the soul listens Sudhanshu sings to engage his own mind and soul, not to entertain people because he strongly believes that entertaining means titillating the ears of listeners for momentary pleasure rather than taking them along on a journey into the heart and soul of music.

Born in a family of music lovers and enthusiasts, Sudhanshu Sharma was initiated into music when he was just eleven years old because of his natural ability to portray the most difficult of musical phrases easily through his voice.

A Gold Medalist in Post-Graduation in Music from University of Delhi, Sudhanshu was initiated into music by Guru Shri Lakheshwar Choudhary from Assam. Later on, he moved to New Delhi to train under Pandit Baldev Raj Verma, the prime disciple of Pandit Amarnath and one of the torch-bearers of the Indore Style of singing popularized by the legendary Ustad Amir Khan Saheb.

After a rigorous and meticulous training under his Guru, Sudhanshu’s singing rose to meet the professional standards and a fresh aesthetic appeal. True to the traditions of the ‘Indore Gharana’, his singing is marked by a serene and reposeful elaboration of the Raga, away from the ostentation and showiness that usually grips a musical performance. He seeks to remain in constant touch with his innermost musical impulses, exploring ways to give supple voice to the myriad ideas which surround his imagination. His recitals endeavor to create a dense, rich and radiant structure of the Raga – and nothing else!
An approved Artist of the All India Radio, New Delhi, Sudhanshu has been sharing his passion for music as a performer and teacher of Hindustani Classical Vocal with many performances all across the country and abroad. He has extensively toured the Middle East, Europe, Bali and Australia, and has upcoming invitations to perform and teach in the USA and Japan.

A recipient of the prestigious Tushar Pandit Memorial Gold Medal and Smt. V. Bani Bai Ram Memorial Medal in Music, he is an internationally respected Teacher/Mentor as well with students across the globe. He works globally with the therapeutic and life changing powers of Indian classical and spiritual music. He has many musical retreats, Lecture-Demonstrations and Music Talks to his credit.
He strongly believes that Art should have a bigger purpose of bringing hearts together and fostering better human relationships full of Peace and Love – both external and internal.
