@rendlesham .......................But a great electric blues guitar can stop time as well. The great Roy Buchanan for instance. Many Blues scholars were also enthusiasts of Indian Music, Davy Graham and The Blind Owl, Al Wilson who played on The Saraswati Vina as far back as 1962. Nikhilda is truly timeless and unsurpassed. What of the great 8 string sitar debate btw? How long did Panditji utilize his extra ga string to get both features of Kharaj Pancham and Ghandar Pancham styles?

I agree 100% - from the spiritual side and even just on the artistic side. There is rasa overflowing from the performances from those days of Nikhilda, Vilayat Khan, Bismillah Khan, Hariprasad, Ali Akbar etc. We have a lot of shredding of sargam (not real taans) and sentimental meends (fake gayki) on the instruments today pretending to be raga, but very little if any real rasa. And I may be mistaken but I think this "pancham se gara" and not "regular" (Shadja based) gara.

NB is a common name in the world of ICM today, and many call him a genius, but sitar players forget why he was a genius. They copy is technique and tone (purbayan chatterjee) and forget the quest for self realization through music that NB was all about. Loosing yourself in the Raga and playing innermost. There is generally a huge gap between the era of NB, Vilayat Khan, Bismillah Khan, Hariprasad, Ali Akbar, ect.

Wonderful. One of the faster tempo ragas from the beginning. Agree, Anindo is marvelous on tabla. We are blessed that Nikhil's spirit can still be with us through his music. Darsham.
