One of the primary sources of inspiration behind RaGa School was my mother, a great supporter of music. Though not 'formally' trained, she was always in demand to sing during family functions and casual get-togethers. Being from the South and having lived for many years in the north of India, she was versatile in singing songs across multiple languages. This helped me, my brother and sister appreciate music without bias towards a particular language or genre.
Unfortunately, she left us all on the evening of the 14th. But not without a battle of over a year with an ailment that could not be controlled. She remained a positive person through out and I'm sure, her influence in our thinking will continue. We feel even more responsible to make her proud by setting greater goals for RaGa School of Music.
My wife Gayathri, and I will be able to resume our respective classes (Veena and Guitar) only after completion of all ceremonies. Means that we will resume classes on Wednesday the 28th.
Keyboard, Bhavageethe, Tabla classes and Veena classes handled by Smt Meena will continue as usual.
Would also like to thank a number of you who have sent us messages. Really appreciate your comforting words.

Dear Ravi,
ReplyDeleteIt is sad to hear the news and I pray to God that your mother's soul rests in peace. I thank her for the musical inspiration that she has been in your life, which culminated in RAGA school of music. And thanks to the music class, I came across an admirable person like you. My deep condolences to you and your family.
Regards,
Vikas.
