Strings of divinity

To speak of Sufi music is to speak of love in its purest resonance — a communion between the human and the divine, carried through the language of sound. This harmony shaped the evening at the India International Centre, where the Rishal Music Trust announced Lakshmi Meets Saraswati, an initiative devoted to nurturing India’s classical and folk arts.

Founded by Harvansh Chawla, a distinguished lawyer and steadfast advocate for India’s cultural heritage, the Trust envisions itself as a dynamic platform to nurture classical musicians, folk artists, and traditional art forms, offering them mentorship and recognition in an evolving cultural landscape. A musical performance by National Award-winning flautists Rajesh and Rishab Prasanna filled the hall with compositions that carried the spirit of India’s timeless traditions. At the heart of the gathering stood the launch of Sufi Music: Through the Eye of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, authored by Dr Jagriti Luthra Prasanna and published by BR Rhythms.

The book explores the sacred realm where every verse becomes remembrance and each note devotion — revealing how Nusrat Saheb’s music continues to bridge faith and feeling. Muzaffar Ali, Begum Abida Parveen, and Pt Rajendra Prasanna bear witness to the work’s authenticity and its resonance across generations.

The evening reflected India’s artistic spirit — where learning flows through listening and tradition lives through reverence. Lakshmi Meets Saraswati reminds that true prosperity lies in preserving wisdom, grace, and the music that stirs the soul. With twelve Padma Shri awardees as mentors, the initiative becomes both sanctuary and stage — celebrating prosperity born of wisdom, artistry, and cultural inheritance.
