Highlights of the Competition
Very few maestros have had such an impact on our generation in all spheres of life, on music, on spirituality or on life in general, educating everyone as to how they can lead an ideal life specially though the field of music. The blessings that Satguru ji gave us artists cannot be found in another parallel in this life or era of ours
“I have never known a spiritual Guru such as "Satguru" who is so keen and knowledgeable in the Indian classical musical field. It was a delight to witness him playing and teaching his students with such a vast knowledge, especially his grasp of rare and original ragas as well as taals found very inspiring”.
“Words fail us when we speak about His most Exalted Holiness Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji. His intense love for and wholehearted devotion to every aspect of music – deep thought, melody and rhythm – need no testimony, and this art spontaneously permeates his whole life.”
“There was a time when musicians and dancers were patronised by kings and then the gharaanas began. After Independence, the government did not take any interest in promoting these arts. In these circumstances, this avtaar purush, Satguru Jagjit Singh ji, appeared as a saviour. In my opinion, his efforts in the 20 century should be written in the pages of history in golden letters.”
“His Holiness Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji Maharaj has always been a source of great inspiration to many classical musicians of India”
“All our achievements and happiness are due to Satguru ji's kirpa.”
