\nAbout Dr. Krishna Kant Shukla and some sample links to his music videos:<\/span><\/b>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 While teaching Physics and Astronomy as an assistant professor in upstate New York, Shukla decided to quit academics and follow his heart and soul deep into the fathomless waters of Indian Classical Music. Having studied with great maestros like Srimati Laxmi Shankar, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, and Dr. Tapan Bhattacharya, he returned to India in 1994 to explore the roots of Indian Classical Music in the folk traditions. His musical search led him into remote villages in the Himalayan foothills, as well as far flung and difficult to reach dwellings in the central plains. He has been particularly influenced by the songs of Kabir, Gorakhnath, and other poet-saints as sung by his Guru, Pandit Kumar Gandharva.\u00a0 These songs belong to living spiritual traditions, some of which are over fourteen hundred years old.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 More on Krishna at:
