Ravi Shankar

Meeting the Master -- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a great spiritual leader and humanitarian. His profound teachings, his dedication to Peace and to inter-religious dialog have caused him to able, for over thirty years, one of the most influential figures of our present epoch. In this documentary film, he lets himself be more intimately appreciated and understood, accepting for the first time, the presence of the cameras, in situations that previously no-one had ever had the opportunity to film.

Rocco DeLuca and the Burden is a four-piece American alternative rock and roll band from California who formed in late 2005. Having performed with such musicians as Taj Mahal, John Lee Hooker, and Johnny Cash, their sounds find root in such eclectic acts as Pink Floyd and Ravi Shankar. This was the inaugural Los Angeles event for Gen Art's new music series, Sound Circle, a program presenting the hottest emerging music acts in an intimate setting. Besides doing what they love to do - performing their songs live - groups also get to share stories on their songwriting process. So turn up those speakers, lean back and prepare yourselves for some truly inspired sounds.

This is an excerpt from a kathak dance program featuring a half-dozen of my friends from Benares. In this piece, the dancers are my dear friends Ravi Shankar Mishra and Mata Prasad Mishra. It is a devotional dance dedicated to Shiva. The musicians are: Ravi Nath Mishra on tabla, my good friend Kanhaya Lal Mishra on the sarangi (a violin-type instrument), my good friend Prem Kishor Mishra on the harmonium and vocals, and Ganesh Prasad Mishra on the Indian zyther (owing to his position on the stage, one cannot see him - he is seated behind the harmonium player and singer, and is the musician who produces harp-like or sitar-like downwards arpeggios).

Kingsley is breathtaking as the legendary passive resistance leader who took on the British for control of India. Winner of 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture!
