I feel as if the reason why they’re intertwined with eachother is because a lot of Indian culture involves the soul (if im not mistaken), and drugs are sometimes considered to be a journey into the “inner soul”.

I can relate to what he is saying about having a clear mind when you go into the concert as for sure you will be high when you come out. I have experienced this after several of Ravi's concerts and it is for real. Ron Jones.

@Allan-et5ig Год назад

I have seen a photograph of Shankar, Peter Sellers and George at a Disneyland closed down just for them - surely in exchange for lots of $$. Ravi may have been anti-drug but he wasn't anti-fun and he wasn't really anti-materialism, I don't think. My mom had East Meets West which I played constantly - great music from a great artist. Astounding virtuosity.

Only a different type of music - yet not to the extreme extent of most awful rap with its juvenile sounds, pretentious attitudes and criminal associations. Of course, as he was well aware, a large part of Shankar's fame was achieved through his connection with popular pop and rock musicians.

@@BeatlesFan1975 What's this? One can easily observe certain realities and facts which naturally lead to certain conclusions, even though it was clearly undertaken with humor in the above comment. Many expressions and opinions are partly based on a person living in a FREE SOCIETY to utilize their own outlook and the manner in which they relate their ideas and concerns to others. Something which you are wholeheartedly disagreeing with here. Understand, while you may not appreciate that, using sarcasm is not necessarily a qualification for harshly judging someone; your supposedly moralistic condemnation originates from your limiting observable viewpoint. With those types of authoritative statements, basically ordering people that 'you can't judge anyone' or remotely criticize anything negative about them, you are attempting to coerce others to fall into your own trap by making your own hypocritical judgements on their behavior as well. Normally, people make minor decisions with critical thinking all the time, and surely it would be a less orderly or interesting world if it were avoided altogether. In other words, look to your own backyard. Sorry for the diatribe, but I get sick of these unfair random attacks on someone's integrity. How about, there is no such sentence as 'no.' That is a constructive criticism whether you like it or not.

@ChintanPandya01 3 года назад

Funny how the Western ignorance and shallowness always tries to bring everything down to the carnal "pleasure" of drugs and sex, and music as entertainment. When the music such as that of the sitar and of the hindustani classical music itself is one of the most refined, ancient and complex forms of art the world has ever seen. Each tune being a sound closest to god. It's much more beautiful than getting high, it's transcendence...a prayer of the universe.

@supraguy4694 2 года назад

The thing is, when it comes to the "drug" connection, they're mostly referring to psychedelics which themselves can provide a very deep and spiritual experience. There are new connections in the mind formed and much introspection, making for what can most certainly be a transcendental experience. Psychedelics such as mushrooms and ayahuasca have been used by various cultures for thousands of years, and are very different from typical drugs. They aren't about carnal pleasure, but a way of getting in touch with ones own soul, and that's why their experiences are often paired with spiritual and transcendental music.

I don’t think it was his intent to be rude, but he was too eager to ask ignorant questions with the aim of keeping the discussion moving, rather than listen to Ravi and George, and learn about why they made the Raga film, and what they hoped to accomplish by sharing it. If he had truly listened and expounded upon what was shared, it would have been a more fruitful interview.
