The lost art form of Dhrupad

Dhrupad is music for humanity.

Not just yogis, not just traditionalists, and not just Indian classical musicians.

It may seem like it is dying, but in this mysterious art form.. I see life. I see humanity, love, freedom. Spiritual salvation, but simultaneously... everyday simplicity.

I once heard someone say "Dhrupad creates a temple wherever it is sung", and I could not have put it better myself. Clarity and peace are not reserved for the "spiritually awakened" or the righteously pure. It is our nature, as human beings, as reflections of this Universe.
