maahaul was founded in 2005 as a collective of students of indian classical music. we have created a community to help each other stay focused on our riyaz, and help each other learn more about the various styles of our music through discussions and demonstrations with each other. our goal is to support one another in our lifelong learning, as well as create spaces for us to perform and educate. we seek an audience of other musicians as well as casual listeners who merely want to learn about indian classical music, and listen to approachable live music in a comfortable, relaxed environment.
who are we
maahaul is a collective of classical indian music students. our goal when we formed in 2005 was to get student of various disciplines and styles together to exchange knowledge and ideas about our music, to give us each a better overall understanding of the music we play. sitariyas learn more about taals from tabliyas, tabliyas learn more about raags from vocalists, carnatic musicians learn more about hindustani music and vice versa. in addition to monthly discussion groups, we get together for riyaaz on a weekly basis to keep us motivated, because we are after all, lifelong students of this music.
concert series
we organize concerts for students in our group a few times a year. the goal of these concerts are to create a space for some of the amazingly talented students in our group to perform. in addition, to create an intimate environment for an audience who wants to listen to classical music, and give them a chance to talk to members of our group before and after the concerts to help gain a greater appreciation for the music.
past events include:
april 23, 2006. house concert with rahul neuman playing hindustani classical music on sitar accompanied by maninder singh on tabla:
july 23, 2006. outdoor rooftop concert with gaurav venkateswar singing hindustani vocals, accompanied by dhwani shah on tabla and arthi meera on harmonium; and satya gummuluri singing carnatic classical vocals, accompanied by ravi subramanyan on mridangam and majula rao on violin.
september 26, 2006. film screening of khandan: The Musical Heritage of Shujaat Khan, followed by a performance by one of shujaat khan’s students, rahul neuman on sitar, accompanied by maninder singh on tabla.

Our Mother who art in everyone,
everything is thy name.
Thy garden serene, thy waters green
the earth as they blue the heavens.
Thank you for our daily bread and the blessing
that no one can be satisfied until eveyone is fed.
Forgive our ignorance as we forgive those who
ignore you in each of us.
Lead us from fear and deliver us from anger and
anxieties,
for life is a ripening to return to you, to feed you,
to seed you, to be reborn forever and ever
again.
Notre Dame by Richard Fammerée
Notre Mère qui est en nous
tout est ton nom.
Que ton jardin soit serein, que tes eaux
verdissent la terre comme elles bleuissent
le ciel.
Merci pour notre pain quotidien
et le bonheur d'être certain
qu'aucun ne sera rassasié
avant que chacun mange a sa faim.
Pardonne-nous notre ignorance
comme nous pardonnons
à ceux qui t'ignore en chacun d'entre nous.
Ne nous soumets pas à la peur
mais délivre-nous de notre colère
et de nos tourments,
Car c'est a toi que revient la maturation
de la vie, pour te nourrir, t'ensemencer
et renaître pour les siècles des siècles
Encore
Thanks for the request and for supporting Ms. Roy!
"The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you are alive, and die only when you are dead. To love, to be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and vulgar disparity of the life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget." - Arundhati Roy
