Given below is one interview as example:

Interview with Ustāda BahāuddīnaḌāgara:
Ustāda Bahāuddīna Ḍāgara, one of the finest musicians of our times, is known for
his simple and soulful music. He transports his audiences with his mesmerizing
rendition of Ālāpa, Joḍ, Jhālā and compositions set to different Tālas on Pakhāvaja.
He is the twentieth generation of the ḌāgaraGharānā of the ḌāgaraBānī of unbroken
Paramparā (tradition) of Dhrupada. Excerpts of interview:

258
Q: You have been practicing Dhrupada on Rudravīṇā, how do you think your music
can be a path towards the ultimate reality?
BahāuddīnaḌāgara: Any thing can be path towards the ultimate, supreme goal of life.
I feel sound is there everywhere, in the air all around us. When I hold Vīṇā in my
hand and play music for the audience, only for this much time I am a musician, I am
listening to it and a part of me plays the Vīṇā, and one part is observing what is
happening. In the beginning, you have to learn the structure. Once you know the
structure the way changes, then from you playing the music, the music starts to play
itself, and you allow the music to flow through you without trying to change it.
Sometimes you can alter or change a bit. There you have that feeling of “Aham
Brhamāsmi”, “I am that” or even “I am God”. For this feeling you have to know
music and you have to enjoy the music. Feelings like, ‘I will not play music for others
to show that I am something, I will not sell the music or I will not do music to gain
something from it’, all these things have to be in your mind constantly. Over a period
of time with this thought process, all these attitudes and approach towards music you
may have the “Anubhūti of Sarasvatī”. It is a very different feeling. Then it is possible
to take your music to a different level and it becomes a part of meditation. Then the
experience of sound existing in the universe comes. It takes many years. In this
approach towards music, your Ahaṅkāra should not come in the way. You cannot say
I have done it. Even if you have done it, you can never say you can do it again, it just
happens.

Q: what is the way to achieve this state?

BD: The practice to follow is, get up early morning and do Kharaja Sādhanā between
3:00-5:30 am when the SuṣumnāNāḍī is active. This practice increases your capacity
to be in this state of mind for a longer period of day. My father was perpetually in this
state of mind. And whenever he played music it used to flow “jaise rasa tapakrahā
ho” (as if fluid is flowing). It takes years to achieve it. There is no formula to achieve
it, or no fixed number of years to get it. It is not like a project. It’s an approach. You
can do it, but cannot say I have done it. It’s not done, it happens. You keep on doing
it, and slowly increase the duration of time, stretch it to whole day. It is possible to go
to that state of being. For example, my grand father BandeAlīKhānaSāheb was a Pīra,
constantly in that state; he could pick up Vīṇā and play anywhere; on the road. The
music is not separate from musician in that state. It flows. The key is “Anubhūti”; it

259
has to happen to you. It is not in your hands, it will pass through you but it does not
belong to you. That has to be kept in mind.

Q: What you say is exactly the Yoga philosophy!

BD: Finally everything is same. In India everything is same. That is why, the saints
have been Cambhāra, the shoemaker and Kumbhāra, potter saints, Eknāth etc. they
all realized God.

The first thing is you enjoy what you are doing. And keep your ‘I’ away. Then your
Saṅgīta starts to become Sahaja and moves forward and takes you along. There were
times when listening to Vīṇā my ancestors would get into higher states, Dhyāna, and
meet their Gurus. Music has that power. But for that to happen one has to be ‘ander-
bāharaeksamāna’. It is not easy to maintain. Takes years of practice. It can happen by
the grace of Gurus, and God also. There is Śaitāna (Devil) also there, you become
famous, get so much money, people praise you aloud, all these things may lure you
and you fall down from your Sādhanā. And you fall in such a way that you don’t even
realize that you have fallen. So you have to be very careful, alert always. Because the
Devils have a way to get to you, will lure in many ways. Even people will tell you,
your music is very spiritual, and that is another trap. You have to keep focus all the
time. Here you start feeling, I am so spiritual, and again you may fall. So, you just
have to continue your Sādhanā sincerely and not pay attention to all these things. It
may happen that from playing Vīṇā, it become Bahauddin Ḍāgara is playing Vīṇā.
Then Vīṇā goes in background and Bahāuddīna Ḍāgara becomes focus. There is
always a danger of such a thing happening, and we don’t even realize till death that
such a thing has happened. My father used to say, “vidyā baḍī sayānī”, Sarasvatī,
may leave you without you knowing it; you may realize it maybe a few moments
before death. I see so many such people around, I am always aware, alert, and afraid it
may happen to me. I try to see, though I don’t have the perfect vision.

Always speak truth, no matter what. And next is cleanliness, keep your body, your
home, your environment around clean. Lot of internal and external factors
cometogether to bring this state of being. Once you attain that state you don’t require
other things. Some may get it because of the grace of Gurus or God. But they also
need to be aware. If they are not, they may lose it. Basically all your Sādhanā is to

260
build your container, so that when the realization comes, you should be able to hold it.
If your container is small it will overflow. If it has hole, will leak. You are a
container, when it comes to you should be able to accept and hold it. It happens like
this in music, you have to be ready to take it, if you are not, it’s gone for now. You
prepare again, which may take years again.
