Raga Hindole Early morning raga - GS Sachdev

GS began playing the bansuri at the age of 14 and learned a special and rare ability to communicate with the audience through his music. Staying away from fusion and blending like few musicians, he found great enthusiasm and satisfaction in exploring and learning traditional Indian music. In addition to his live performances worldwide, his highly polished music is greatly enjoyed in yoga studios, meditations, ashrams and spiritual centers. His music creates a space as a counterpoint to rush and stress, cynicism and fatigue.
