Chanakya – The Emotion of Courage and Valor (Veer Rasa)

A moment from the sold-out Sitar for Mental Health live show in Mumbai (NCPA), performing my composition “Chanakya.”

Inspired by the NavRasa, this piece expresses ‘Veer Rasa’—the essence of courage and strength. While a hero may not need weapons, for me, the sitar is my instrument of choice to inspire peace and consciousness.
This song is deeply special to me because it channels the warrior spirit within, resonating with the same guidance and strength that the great kingmaker in history Chanakya bestowed upon his disciple Chandragupta Maurya and made him king of the Indian Subcontinent.
