"I have studied Dagarbani Dhrupad with Jeff Lewis and
Uday Bhawalkar,
both students of Z.M.Dagar, whose music inspired me to
learn rudra vina. Given the problems in finding a quality instrument and the small number of teachers,
the survival of this sublime tradition is uncertain. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have two wonderful
gurus and hope to contribute to keeping this ancient art alive. Many thanks go to the Dagar family for their
willingness to share their heritage with others."
"I would also like to express appreciation to rudraveena.org. The internet has made it
possible for the worldwide community of people who love rudra vina to come together and share information as well
as passion. Rudra vina seems to have the power to touch people deeply; it is my hope that this site will give
people access to resources and information that may help them answer that call when it comes."
