\nTIMES NEWS NETWORK:<\/strong> Dr Shukla, who was the first to predict the behaviour of electrons in metallic and non-metallic crystals in simple form, underwent a behaviourial change when he combined the poetry of self-realized saints of India with music. The rhythm of instruments like western classical guitar, harmonium and sitar combined with his voice singing the qualities of the quality-less (nirgun) creates magic.
