ABOUT SHRI MATAJI Shri Mataji introduced Her unique meditation in 1970 and people in more than 120 countries now practise and enjoy it. Her foundational practise teaches a meditation technique which begins with Self Realisation and awakens our inner spiritual aspect. As a result, we experience thoughtless awareness during our meditation which promotes health and well-being. After introducing the technique of Sahaja Yoga meditation, Shri Mataji travelled constantly up until the early 2000s, offering free public lectures and the experience of Self Realisation to all. She enabled people to pass on this valuable experience to others, as well as the technique necessary to sustain it through regular Sahaja Yoga meditation. Shri Mataji was born on 21st March 1923 in India and passed away on 23rd February 2011 in Genoa, Italy, aged 87 years. • More about Shri Mataji: https://www.freemeditation.com.au/our... ABOUT RHITOM SARKAR Born to musician parents, child prodigy Rhitom Sarkar started out playing Indian classical music but soon veered towards playing the guitar due to its musical appeal (akin to vocal) to glide. His innovative mind searched for ways and means to incorporate the finer nuances of Indian music into his guitar practice. Rhitom’s preferred instrument is the Indian slide guitar or ‘gandharvi’ – a modified archtop acoustic with sympathetic and plucked drone strings, specially designed for playing ragas. Ragas are the melodic patterns and modes in traditional Indian music compositions. An ‘A-grade artist’ from AIR (All India Radio) and student of the musician master, Pt. Debashish Bhattacharya, Rhitom has received many international accolades and awards for his music and compositions throughout his career. ABOUT SAHAJA SANGEET MUSIC GROUP Formed over 20 years ago, Sahaj Sangeet is a group of diverse musicians from a wide variety of cultures and backgrounds. Specializing in Hindustani music as well as Western and Fusion, instruments include Sitar, Tabla, Dholak, Chimta, Djembe, Tamborine and of course the vocals. Currently based in Brisbane, they have performed at Sunpac Theatre Brisbane, Fete de la Musique Brisbane, Logan Entertainment Centre, Redcliffe Cultural Centre, Townsville Cultural Centre, Childers Festival, Diwali Festival Brisbane, Winter Solstice Northey Street Brisbane and many others.
