The inspiring words of wisdom connect knowledge with devotion. The listeners are taken on a soulful journey towards Love as the ultimate meaning of human life.

Excellent musicians from North India accompany this program with classical raga melodies and rhythms: bamboo flute, oboe (shanai) and tablas.
