He feels blessed to have found a teacher who is not just trained in the classical approach to music, but who is also deeply steeped in its spiritual aspects. Roopji’s musical teachers are the great maestros Pandit Ravi Shankar and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, and his spiritual teachers are Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati and Swami Shyam of the Himalayas. Learning from Roopji has given Tomek a spiritual insight to the creation of sound and music; a gift which he shares in the form of live music for yoga and through his own sound meditation classes.
