Indian
Classical music is indivisible from the mythology and spiritual practice
of India. Those who seek
to become great maestros, therefore, must also embrace the philosophy
of the subcontinent. Perhaps this is why, though many aspire, few
accomplish the status of Pandit or Ustad, the highest honour a student
of this music can attain. Coupled with this study of philosophy is
the rigorous discipline imposed upon the disciple by his master, a
discipline which many find too difficult to endure.
