“We offer this Ode to Ravi Shankar with
our hearts silenced as their Sitar will not
be played by them any more, leaving
a void in our souls..”
The joy, beauty, full of light..
Your music was only divinity
Atma spoke as the strings played
The light you gave to the world of Sitar,
Is there anyone ever to compare
You’ve shown the world that all hearts are one
With strings from the East
Merging with drums from the West
Flowing in the rhapsody of music
Were songs played and histories made
Sun from the eastern horizon
Thrilling the hearts of everyone
Has traveled to the West to leave
Us with heaviness in heart
A student always although in nineties
We will remember you until eternity
With love to you, O Ravi Shankar!
