It was a day etched in the heart — a moment of deep inspiration, grace, and musical wisdom.

Our Founder, Mrs. Hemangi Paknikar, recently had the honour of spending precious moments with the legendary flautist, Padma Vibhushan Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia jee. Known across the world for his soul-stirring mastery over the bansuri, Panditji’s presence radiated humility, discipline, and an unmatched love for music.

A Meeting Beyond Words

For Mrs. Paknikar, this meeting was more than just an interaction — it was a meeting of hearts, bound by devotion to the classical tradition. In their brief time together, they shared thoughts on the future of Indian classical music, the role of dedicated music education, and the deep spiritual core that lies at the heart of every raga.

🕊️ “To sit beside someone who has not only mastered his art but lived it every single day — it’s like touching the soul of music itself.”
— Hemangi Paknikar

A Blessing for Sur Sanskaar

Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia’s warm blessings and words of encouragement are a source of strength and motivation for Sur Sanskaar Academy. They reaffirm our path — to remain committed to authentic, heartfelt, and disciplined teaching, and to pass on the treasures of Indian classical music to the next generation.
