I try to give to my music the spiritual quality, very deep in the soul, which does something even if you are not realizing it or analyzing it - that's the duty of the music.

My music has a very spiritual background, a sanctity that is almost like worship.

My secret ambition was always to provide music for animation films: something with an Indian theme, either a fairy tale or mythological tale or on the Krishna theme. I still have a very deep desire, but these sorts of chances don't always come.

The music that I have learned and want to give is like worshipping God. It's absolutely like a prayer.

Pop changes week to week, month to month. But great music is like literature.

I don't appreciate avant-garde, electronic music. It makes me feel quite ill.
