The 10-string double violin, which is heard for the first time on this album, is a double-bodied instrument conceived and designed by Shankar and built by Ken Parker of Stuyvesant Sound. The necks can be played individually or collectively; when played individually, the strings of the other neck create sympathetic effects, overtones. Among its many possibilities, the double violin can cover range of the whole string orchestra (although only the range of the violin and viola is use on this album)
This album is dedicated to John Mclaughlin!

This album was a part of daily meditation,i would listen while watching the golden sun reflecting on lake Ponchatrain in Nola.Years later walking through union station in L.A.,i heard a very familiar sound coming through a section of the stations courtyard and to my surprise,it was L.Shankar playing his double violin with a band,AWESOME,one of my musical heroes,got the chance to chat with him and the band...om shanti Shankar
Awesome out of the world sublime music narayanan vedantham
About 40 years ago I heard this for the first time. Finding it insanely addictive, I must have replayed it a thousand times. And today, it sounds like the first time. It speaks to my soul in such an eloquent, seductive manner. You have my utmost gratitude for sharing this unparalleled treasure with us.
🙏🙏Millions of solutes to you David sir, i had an audio tape, i lost it, and was in search of this tune for the past 40 years, thank you so much sir🙏🙏
MY CD LOST 20 YEARS !
I got on board with this in around 1983 ... and the opening phrases still give me the same chills today as then. This is one of my ten desert island Lps. Thank you for posting it - so that many more searchers may find themselves in this ecstasy.
We had the LP of this in mid 80s and used to listen very regularly. The sound effect used to amaze me as it does even today. Pleased I could find this in YT. Thanks to the person who posted that here 👍
A treasure unearthed ! I grew up listening to this masterpiece. I still have the audio cassette as part of my rare collections.
Umayalapuram Shri. Sivaraman recently shared with me that this was recorded at Germany.
Thank you for sharing this!
One of Shankar's masterpieces. I grew up listening to this.
Bharti Chandrashekar Thanks for watching and exeptional musical taste, you grew up listening to a proper music.

+anu krishnan Thanks for listening!
David, thank you for loading this masterpiece. Incredible artistry by L Shankar and accompanying artists. truly mesmerizing. I too had bought the album (after hearing it on Columbia Univ Sat 3 hour Indian music FM broadcast) from Sam Goody's at Woodbridge Mall, perhaps as a special order. Sorry too far back to recall details. Sadly I do not have the LP or the record player any more (Ah! the perils of downsizing).
this feels like the sound of breaking the fourth wall of life
mind-cleansing music
thanx for uploading it
is there any other album like this ?
Very good collections. Treasure.
So uplifting!
Dear Shri David, Please put a small writeup about the double violin /or reproduce the writeup on the slevenotes of the record for our future generations

+Sreeram Chaturvedula
Thank you for the initiative sir, I've done it!
+David Sisvadze Thanks a lot.
Though Mr Shankar has done many albums, this one stands out.
simply fantastic..
First of all I have to say Thank for You, David to share this masterpiece!
I humbly join to the company of those, who has unforgettable memories about it.
If I can have any parallel with anything in its spirit, extraordinary style, it is Raimon Panikkar's "The Vedic Experience".
Thanks for listening, god bless you!
I'm one of the curious...who wonders how some portions of this could be played with two hands unless he were plucking both notes at the same time. Some mastery!
He plays double track sometimes. Records a session, and then might add other layers. It is called over-dubbing. He has done this in many albums. He often adds a bit of vocals too. In this CD, there is double tracking in the Tanam part.
Thank you so much for this!!
Wow! Such an inspiration he is :)
I had this album
Not sure but this is Hemavathy??
