The Symphony of Sannyas: Music as a Path to Inner Harmony
Introduction
Welcome to “Zorba the Buddha: Bridging Worlds with Osho,” lovingly presented by the Dwarkadhish Holistic Centre in collaboration with Osho Fragrance. I’m Dhwani, your host, guiding you through narratives that intertwine the earthly joys of Zorba with the transcendental stillness of Buddha.
In today’s episode, we shine a light on the journey of Ma Prem Harshini, formerly known as Harshini Sanjeev Pathe, a vibrant spirit in the Osho sangha. Trading the traditional educational path for the symphonic call of music, she found her abode in the realm of melodies, enchanting the city of Nagpur with her voice during its most festive times.
The silent years between 1991 to 2008 blossomed into a rebirth of harmony under the loving mentorship of Guru Maa Amrut Pirya Ji, nurturing her latent talents into a soulful mastery of Sugam Sangeet. Ma Prem Harshini’s life is a beautiful composition of devotion, art, and the wisdom of Osho’s insights. As we weave her story into the tapestry of our series, allow her experiences to resonate with the seeker in you, echoing the very essence of this spiritual symphony.
