Srinivas Reddy is an Indian-American sitarist, guitarist and composer. In 1998 he came under the tutelage of Sri Partha Chatterjee, a direct disciple of the late sitar maestro Pandit Nikhil Banerjee. Since then Srinivas has rigorously trained with his teacher in the traditional guru-shishya style. Both here and abroad he continues to imbibe and practice the subtleties of the Hindustani musical tradition.

Srinivas is a professional concert sitarist and has given numerous recitals in the US and India. He is also an experienced teacher and educator. Srinivas holds a BA from Brown University and an MA from UC Berkeley, both in South Asian Studies. He has taught several college level courses on both South Asian literature and music.

Thank you very much. Just yesterday I was talking about this subject to a friend. I would even say one doesn't only end up with Shanta rasa but even starts from it.

Very best wishes for the new year and Namaskar

Guido

Thanks Guido. I think you are right about starting with peace. Stay in touch and best wishes to you as well.
