Every time I watch Anoushka play I fall in love with her all over again. Her playing lead me into sound meditation, which has opened unimagined spiritual vistas. She is a Divine Being, and I believe her father recognized her.
When this sitar was commissioned, Pt Ravi Shankar had Nodu Mullick build another instrument, a Surbahar, for Vid. Annapurna Devi. These two instruments were not only unparalleled in their craftsmanship but also in the hands of musicians who were beyond the reach of any other, in their respective genres. The British Museum could contact the Annapurna Devi Foundation and try to preserve her instrument as well, for the benefit of posterity.
I was Lucky enough to have a glance at Surbahar of Great Annapurna Devi Ji which is in safekeepings of Annapurna Devi Foundation ! That instrument is worshipped there and Pt.Nityanand Haldipur ji takes utmost care to Protect that instrument ❤❤
Great to know and see the Guruji of Pt.ji .What devotion Pt.ji must have had in learning on those days! Incomparable art! My Pranam to his soul. Such artists actually reach the level of Rishis( Seers, Saints, close to God because they Create. This is what I have learnt from Osho, in whose commune at Pune India Pt.ji used to perform very often.
This is my request to owner of British museum, please return this beautiful sitar to Anushka again ....... Because for a mother ..... His/her son or daughter can't be separated. For an artist ,his instrument is act as his life, it can't be left as alone...... It is a punishment for sitar who always serve its best through his artist's fingers....... Kindly free this beautiful instrument..... Let it serve for melodious listeners of this beautiful world.......Amen..... My Dear Jesus or any God from this world bless us..... Best Wishes and Happy New Year..... If anyone felt guilty " please chant Jai Bajrangbali"...
@@AdamSandaver @Adam Sandaver Yes , Coz People in India , Are Non-sense ( Some Class of People ) And They Don't Have Sense to understand The Classical Forms , They only deals with rock And Pop music ,And Also They can't Differentiate between rock and pop music , this Also needs A sense to Differentiate And Hence , they don't means Don't bother to give them respect !!! TOTALLY Hate , AND WE PERSONALLY HATE THAT TYPE OF PERSONS , 😊
The sitar in hands of panditji in photos and recordings is not this one. It had different design on neck if you see carefully. I think it his second sitar
All is well, m a great fan of Pt Ravi Shankar. But what is Nodu Mallik? Is it about nodules?, A Naru(Laddu eaten by the Malliks and others) or a not so aware person who was named as such for unknown reasons by his parents? Well from Anuska we could know. Hi there Nodu!

What a great piece of music musicians nd truly blessed Anouska Shankar.
Good to know this Valuable Information of Sitar being Kept in Museum :) The Legacy is Preserved
Nice, the sitar is one of the craziest musical instruments humans have made.
The most beautiful of all instruments.
Ah and like most great Indian artifacts, it's ended up in a British museum

Why in British Museum?
Why not in India?
Sad. Although upside is that it will be kept in much better condition
Thank you for publishing such a valuable material!
Why can we not have a musuem in India dedicated to all our great musicians. it can come up in Noida
absolutely agreed
Agree 100% except on the Noida part 😂 definitely not Noida. What a joke
I find it exceedingly sad that this great instrument is now silenced forever. As a musician, I find this to be an awful fate for any fine instrument.
I would be privileged to go to that place and play pandit Ravishankar ji's sitar in his gharana (Seniya-Maihar style)....☺️🙏🏾😔🙏🏾
True. In fact Ravi Shankar had two of Nodu mullick's sitars
as well as one made by Kanai Lal.
They could have given it to national museum in Bharat
True!
@@RagaMala He was appreciated more internationally. Hence London.

Lovely.
Is that gentleman from Liverpool as well? He sounds Scouse❤
So piece of indian culture where maa Saraswati once lived is placed to the place where no One knows Devi Saraswati???
I assure you,Maha Saraswati Ma is known well on these shores, and her divine presence blesses us. 🕉️

Yes you're right, it was made much later by Nodu Mallick!

Nodu Mallick's Full Name Was Shri Nader Chand Mallick.
