What our students say

Bada Haridas is an exemplary Vaishnava and musical guru. He taught me and my two daughters (ages 11 and 7). Now, we have the joy of singing kirtan together at home as a family, bringing immense happiness into our lives. Bada Haridas is extremely patient, and imparts knowledge and skill in a mood of service. We feel extremely honored to be taught by such a great soul.

My first and most influential mridanga teacher is Vish. His knowledge and application of that knowledge is so incredibly deep and heart felt. To have a teacher like Vish, who is patient as well as kind, is invaluable.

Learning harmonium with Bada Haridas has been a journey of growth, both musically and spiritually. With his patient guidance I have progressed in my harmonium skills and in my confidence. One of the highlights was learning the Saranagati prayers and experiencing a deeper connection with Krishna through kirtan. I am extremely grateful to have Bada Haridas as my teacher.

Visvambhar was my first mrdanga teacher. Until that point, I just knew enough to play in kirtans, but I hadn't learned properly. It was always fun, challenging, and exciting to learn from Vish, My brother and I always looked forward to learning the next beat. Vish was a catalyst in setting us up for success in playing mridanga and I'm always proud to say he's my teacher.
