My Memoirs in Music
January - December 2022
Remembering legendary musician Ali Akbar khan :
Dear Friends,
This year is the 100th birth-anniversary of my revered mentor-musician the legendary sarode maestro
Ali Akbar khan. As a homage to Baba my father-figure, I present his raga ManjhKhamãj on my webpage of creations.
In memory of my beloved father-my lifetime's first inspiration, I name this webpage S U B O D H
meaning auspicious message.
I feel very fortunate to have treasured the recent years taking care and being with my dear parents,
besides singing-composing music. My heartfelt prayers are with my favourite Indian playback singer Lata Mangeshkar.
Wish you the best of health, happiness and peace in the new year.

Dear Friends, March 2020-2021
wish you the best of health, happiness and peace in the new year.
The year of 2020 with all the adversities worldover, rests for me in memory of my beloved father Dr. Subodh Jhaveri,
my lifetime's first inspiration and backbone forever since my childhood. Noble, spiritual and gifted, an ENTsurgeon trained
in India and at the Royal School of Surgeons-London UK, he also loved cosmology, the Upanishads, yoga, the arts
and music. For brief years my mother worked at the India House-London and in India she taught as a
professor of literature. My father's demise in India in 2020 before the spread of covid19 was followed by the demise of
my respected Guruji, the world renowned vocalist Pandit Jasraj revered for his soulful music. I am ever grateful for the gifts of God.

On my father's birth anniversary I share his lyrical excerpts.
PremGeet (LoveSong) one of my favourite lyrics written by my father was composed & sung by me from early years
" Pavana prem no vaayo / The breeze of love flew from far away, from the other world. "
" As flowers love the fragrance and cuckoo the Spring,
I love your song that vibrates the string "
- Dr Subodh Jhaveri

A book by my father
Dr. Subodh Jhaveri

An excerpt from my father's article about the universe
that he wrote during his last days at the age of 90 :
" The Theory of BigBang about the origin of the universe is the greatest achievement of the 21st century's science.
It reflects immense power of the human intelligence that has revolutionised our thinking about the universe prevalent since
hundreds of centuries. Sages of an ancient school were known to present new ideas hence its spread was increasing.
Their aim was to discover the essential nature of things which they called physis. "
