about

I am releasing this work with my deepest respect to the sources of my inspiration. Apologies for any offense I may unknowingly create. I hope you can find a deeper understanding of these speeches through multiple deep listens to their paired raga alaaps. Having both together has helped me revisit these words many times, and consequently, gain a much deeper understanding. If you enjoy the Ragas, I hope you will meditate on the words. If you love the speeches, I hope the ragas will become familiar to you.
