Feelings expressed by Pt. Suresh Talwalkar, Pt. Dr Vikas Kashalkar, Mr Vishwas Jadhav and Pt Amod Dandage for Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Jayant Athavale, the founder of MAV

1. Getting their doubts clarified by asking questions about music and spirituality to Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Jayant Athavale

Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Jayant Athavale met Pt Suresh Talwalkar, Pt Dr Vikas Kashalkar, Mr Vishwas Jadhav, and Pt Amod Dandage even when his vital energy (Pranshakti) was very low, and He had severe physical distress.  During this meeting, these eminent artists were curious to know and asked questions related to music and spirituality to Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Athavale and got their doubts clarified.

2. Pt Suresh Talwalkar and Pt Dr Vikas Kashalkar felt after meeting Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Jayant Athavale that their visit was worthwhile, and they got a new perspective on spiritual practice.

The distinctive qualities of Pt Suresh Talwalkar, Pt Dr Vikas Kashalikar and Mr Vishwas Jadhav who have accomplished artists in the fields

TaalYogi Pt Suresh Talwalkar, Pt Dr Vikas Kashalkar, and Mr Vishwas Jadhav are very famous in the field of art, but they didn’t say anything about themselves to Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Athavale. They asked questions with humility and curiosity about the ways of associating music with spirituality, the importance of spiritual practice, change in destiny by performing spiritual practice, etc. I could experience this difference during their meeting. Since these eminent artists have the foundation of sadhana, they asked various questions related to music as a spiritual practice and could make true use of their meeting with Sachchidananda Parabrahman Dr Athavale. I got to learn that obtaining guidance from Saints for our own spiritual practice, is the real benefit of meeting Saints.
