His father died when he was 13 years old, and he grew up with his uncles watching over him.

Because Delhi lacked large performance spaces, he would frequently cycle to teach at Sangeet Bharti and perform for hours in private gatherings.

What Is the Real Worship of Om-Tat-Sat?

According to the holy Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta chapter 17 verse 23, Om-Tat-Sat is the Naam (mantra) of Param Akshar Brahm. Param Akshar Brahm is the creator of souls and every other thing which is in existence. In Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta chapter 15 verses 1 to 4 and chapter 4 verse 32, it is written that the true way of worship can only be revealed by a Tatvdarshi Sant. A Tatvdarshi Sant is someone who knows about every element of the upside-down eternal tree of the universe.
