About me:
"I have had a dream to try to combine Western and Indian music into a new form, a music which has no particular name but is melodious and touching, and which combines the most modern electronic devices with the old traditional instrument, the sitar" - Ananda Shankar, 1970. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was born in 1942 into a musical family. My father was the famous Indian dancer and choreographer Uday Shankar who brought his dance troupe to the West in the 1930s. My mother Amala was also a great dancer and my uncle is the world-renowned sitarist Ravi Shankar. I spent five years in intensive sitar study under Dr. Lalmani Mishra of Benares Hindu University. I then travelled to Los Angeles where I hooked up with many great musicians including Jimi Hendrix. I made a record there which became a psychedelic cult classic. I then returned to India in the early 1970s and set up my own orchestra to create and perform a new musical synthesis of Eastern and Western music, combining traditional instruments with electronic synthesizers. I have received many awards including a National Award for the score for the Mrinal Sen film "Chorus". My orchestra also incorporated a dance troupe which was choreographed by my wife Tanusree. Unfortunately, I moved on to another place in 1999. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dear Ananda . . .we tried so hard to include you in this . . .no-one seemed to truly OWN your music . .( HOW APT ) . .you are free from the body NOW tis true but your music is a cosmic trigger . . .funny enough when it was all finished suddenly we found the right person . .oh well next time you will be in the cosmic soup for sure !! In the meantime there are over ten years of MONSTROUS PSYCHEDELIC BUBBLE mixes and podcasts available all of which do contain your music !! Multidimensional love and resonance !!!

"there no excuse for war except of course bitterness which is always good for a stagnation or two" and thats what we live in-- a Stag-Nation...i've got a weapon of mass-CONstruction (my guitar) and i'm going to stop the world in its foolish tracks. Below is a visual mantra and if you click on it you will be transported to a land of truth, bliss, and freedom. peace.

"let there be no more war"

it's so funny, this little conundrum,
which warring folks and those who support their primary function,
repeatedly drone on: "god made the world to be this way,
so who's to say, what wrong or right?" they say...
apparently they think they are
the chosen ones to carry uzis,
claiming the ultimate power to take life,
and all in the name of Allah or Jesus...
to put it simply, war is private mourning
sublimated into public vengeance
and if you could REALLY forgive your enemies
there'd be no more war,
so why don't you come to your senses?
yes and who's to accept the circumstances as they are ?
I ask with solemn deference
while riding in your car
looking up the stars...
cause if you could could really forgive existence
and accept that death is always here
then this fucked-up cycle of vengeance would
finally disappear...
there never was a borderline
there never was a spoken truth
there only was this consciousness
uniting all in the same root
so i don't care what country you're from
i don't care what name you call god
if you could really forgive
there'd be no more war
o let there be no more war.
