Before every Sitar for Mental Health Show, I take a moment to breathe.

Try it with me:
🌬️ Inhale deeply.
⏸️ Hold for 3 seconds.
🍃 Exhale slowly.

It’s such a simple practice, but it grounds me every single time. This style of conscious breathing is a form of pranayama, an ancient yogic practice whose roots trace back to India and is now embraced by people all over the world. Slow breathing, especially with longer exhales, can help calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and gently lower your heart rate.

I do this before I play because music is more than sound to me. It’s an exchange of energy. I want to arrive fully present so that everyone in the room can settle into the same frequency and become a vessel for the music.

Before the first note, there is the breath. And sometimes, that’s where the healing begins.

Have a blessed weekend 🛕🙏🏼

Padharo Mhare Des (Welcome to my homeland) 🇮🇳

This song, our tour opening piece, means much more than a greeting. 🇮🇳 Rooted in centuries of tradition, the song symbolizes Rajasthan’s deep culture of hospitality, love, and longing. It is often sung as a heartfelt invitation for a beloved to return home. Today, it has become an iconic welcome that invites people to experience not only the beauty and spirit of Rajasthan, but also the warmth and rich cultural heritage that India is known for. ✨

Sitar for Mental Health Global Tour coming soon 🙏🏼🌎

Namaskar.

Mera Satguru Pyaara - Out Now on YouTube 🙏🏼✨

A longing for the Beloved Guru. 🤍

This sacred Shabad carries one of the most intimate questions of devotion: how does one meet the beloved Satguru? Mera Satguru Pyaara translates to My Beloved True Guru, a phrase that becomes the soul’s gentle search for guidance, grace, peace, and union.

The Shabad speaks of the Guru not merely as a teacher, but as the one who removes restlessness, fills the heart with bliss, and leads the seeker closer to Waheguru. It is a prayer of surrender, where the devotee bows in humility, asking not for worldly gain, but for the blessing of connection.

Mera Satguru Pyaara
My Beloved True Guru

Performed in Chandigarh during the Sitar for Mental Health India Tour 2026, this offering held a special stillness, a moment where the sound of the sitar, the depth of the Shabad, and the silence of the sangat came together as one.

Through every note, this rendition carries yearning, soft, meditative, and deeply human. It is not just a performance of seeking; it is seeking itself.

In the resonance of the sitar, the warmth of the tabla, and the collective presence of the audience, the Shabad becomes a reminder that the path to the Guru is not walked through ego, urgency, or force. It opens through grace, humility, remembrance, and love.

This offering is for anyone who has ever searched for peace.
For anyone who has ever asked for direction.
For anyone who has ever longed to feel held by something greater than themselves.

This is Mera Satguru Pyaara.
This is longing.
This is surrender.
This is grace.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. 🤍

Jai Guruji 🙏🏼
