East-West School of Music at Ananda Ashram

East-West School of Music at Ananda Ashram The East-West School of Music at Ananda Ashram is a department within the International Schools of East-West Unity (Gurukula), Inc. founded in 1992/1993.

The East-West School of Music, directed by Acharya Roop Verma, had its beginnings at Ananda Ashram in 1978. Inspired by Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati to fulfill the vision of East-West unity through the arts, the School is dedicated to promoting music as a medium to experience and express the relationship between outer sound vibration and our inner being. Through this direct contact, deep states of h

ealing, creativity and spiritual awareness arise, leading to better understanding of ourselves and the world around us. For several years, the East-West School of Music has been offering ongoing monthly classes in North Indian Vocal Music and Tabla. Regular classes in instrumental Music with special focus on Sitar, in the master-pupil oral tradition at its best, are offered by master Sitarist Acharya Roop Verma. Special workshops and courses with Ashram and guest teachers are scheduled seasonally, providing instruction in both Eastern and Western music. In addition, there are regular concerts featuring classical Indian music as well as music from other traditions.
