Dear Friends, March 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, a surgeon-doctor of medicine trained in India and England he was also
passionate for the universe and physics, Upanishads, yoga, poetry, arts and Indian
classical music. My beloved father's demise in India earlier 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 vidyaa daan and soulful music. I am ever greatful for such gifts of God.

(( PremGeet
|
My father loved music and learned bansuri-the Indian classical flute
while I was about 3 yrs.
In his loving memory I share his poem-my dear parents' favourite poem titled 'PremGeet' (Song of love),
composed & stage-performed by me in my teens :
" 'Pavana prem no vaayo' / The breeze of love as if the fragrance of
flowers in my memory, flew from far away, from the other world. "
Lyric by Dr. Subodh Jhaveri
