Quotations from
Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma

"Nad Brahma - Sound is God. Our music is rooted in a spiritual background, creating a mood of meditation for self-realisation. As an artiste, I do not seek to entertain and when I perform, I do not think of myself as an entertainer. Music gives me bliss and it is this experience which I want to share with my listeners."
