‘Like cosmic divinity, music knows few barriers or boundaries. Music should be like a bouquet of flowers. I hope and pray that we always have kind people in the world and that there is love around us. It is this love, compassion and kindness that represents Devī. And thus Devī is to be found deeply in music. … I feel connected to every soul and song in the world. Thus to connect us all to this divine feminine energy, today I will perform certain ragas inspired and named after forms Devī.’ – Amjad Ali Khan
