If listening to him is a spiritual experience, meeting him is an equally elevating one. Padma Vibhushan recipient Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma, whose name is synonymous with santoor, radiates spirituality in every pore of his being. Not surprising, he delights as much with the power of his music as with his wisdom.
In Chandigarh for a special concert organised by SPICMACAY(Society for promotion of classical music and culture amongst youth) to salute the Indian Army, he goes back in time to recall his association both with
SPICMACAY, which he calls a movement, and the Indian Armed Forces for whom he has played time and again.
