Bhakti Raasa: Sitar as Morning Medicine

Some mornings deserve more than an alarm. They deserve a raag.

From New Delhi, renowned sitarist Subrata De returns with his latest offering, Bhakti Raasa, a morning meditative, devotional and healing sitar journey now streaming on YouTube. Every note unfolds like the first light of dawn, gentle and unhurried, inviting the listener to pause, breathe and simply be.

A master of the Bishnupur Gharana, Subrata De has devoted his life to the emotive depth of Indian classical music. In Bhakti Raasa, that devotion finds its purest voice, once again proving that a raag is not merely music. It is medicine for the mind.

Speaking of the art he has given his life to, he says: “Music is the elixir of life. It rejuvenates, heals, balances, transforms and ultimately helps us to become good human beings.”

In a world that rarely slows down, Bhakti Raasa is a quiet reminder of what the soul has always known: peace can be played, one string at a time.
