The
Ravi Shankar Foundation - Nada Brahma - Sound is God |

| The
Ravi Shankar Foundation in California and The Ravi Shankar Centre in New
Delhi (also known as RIMPA) have been established to collect, document
and archive the vast works of Ravi Shankar, which are fragmented all over
the world. They are also committed to posterity the artistic and creative
energy that this unique musician has still to offer. It is a dedication
to awaken the consciousness of people to help towards the preservation
of the diversity of cultures and richness of their art and the aesthetic
and ancient traditions of the past and present. The dream is to support
the freedom of artistic creativity and to help in the collaboration and
exploration of world music, performing arts and work for universal Peace
and Harmony through music. The core of Ravi Shankar’s music has been the spirituality, which instantly touches the listener. It is 76 years when this son of India went on foreign soil and since then this musical messiah has worked tirelessly to take the great music of his country to every corner of the earth. In 1985 when Ravi Shankar received his doctorate from Cal Arts, the citation read, “ Ravi Shankar musician to the world – whose rare genius has opened the ears and minds of millions to the wondrous aesthetic of India’s ancient musical tradition – adored musical ambassador whose incomparable artistry has created bridges of understanding among the peoples of the earth.” The RSF and the RSC would like to continue the works of the Maestro. We want to have a rostrum of young upcoming musicians whose work will be presented under the banner of the Foundation and Centre. |

| The
Foundation hopes to create an atmosphere in the Centre where very few
extremely talented and hardworking students will be introduced to the
age old traditions of the Gurukul System of learning, along with modern
facilities, where they will live, practice and breathe in the aura of
music under the guidance of the Guru.
An educational arm of the Center will include a scholarship program and an outreach program to encourage students to explore world music and performing arts. Cultural leaders, scholars, scientists and creative artists in the field of music, dance, drama, art and literature will be invited to participate in the exchange of ideas and collaborative effort to expand the movement towards multicultural art.
