Namaskar!

Welcome to this website. We are a couple based in Pune working to promote Indian Traditional Music and Indian thought of living. We have our fingers in many activities and initiatives! Hang around for a bit and go through this website to know more about us!

Baithak Foundation

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” – Plato

And yet, while working with a few municipal schools in and around the Pune city, we realised our public education system allows hardly any space to music.

Our immediate response to this realisation was working with 2 schools in our personal capacity.

The response was so encouraging that soon, we registered Baithak Foundation. Baithak presently works with 20+ schools and is impacting lives of more than 2000 students.

Our work with schools aims at introducing music as a tool for all-round development of the children, or as we call it, a ‘software’ for human development.

Along with the school program, we also conduct and curate a wide range of intimate baithaks, workshops, listening sessions, wellness retreats etc.

Please visit www.baithak.org to know more.

Here is our TEDx talk at IIM Nagpur. This happened in 2017 but most of the challenges we spoke about, still exist!

    Mandak: Found your site today (searching for Kabir Dohas). I read a few postings of yours; am very much interested in your book (The Kabir Way), but it is not available. How can I get a copy?
