As we celebrate the sacred week of Guru Purnima, a time to honour the wisdom and grace of our gurus, we are humbled to release a special interview with the eminent Dhrupad maestro, Ustad Uday Bhawalkar. Recorded in 2023, this conversation offers a rare glimpse into his inspiring journey into the profound world of Dhrupad—India’s oldest surviving form of classical music. With heartfelt reflections on his gurus, his sadhana, and his deep devotion to the tradition, Ustadji reminds us of the timeless bond between the disciple and the teacher. Let us immerse ourselves in this soulful offering and pay tribute to the lineage that continues to guide and uplift us.
