The day when I arrived in Varanasi, I went to Benares Hindu University(BHU). At the place, I came into a concert poster on the wall. The concert by Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji was related to meditation and would be held in BHU the next monday. It seemed like that Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji was famous and I received the feeling that I had to watch the performance.

On the next monday, I went to the BHU with Minho Oh whom I met in Varanasi to watch the concert. The concert was crowded with so many people. However, differnt from my expectation, there was no Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji. Instead, two performers appeared: one played the guitar and the other played the tablo, the two hand-tapping drums.


During the concert


In a word, the concert was more fantastic than I expected. The singer named Vikram who also played the guitar was great and the tablo performer with white hair and beard broke down the wall of imagination about the limit of tablo performance. Especially, the music jamming between the two performers was gorgeous. And I bought a CD by Vikram, going out of the concert hall.

Even after the concert, I did not know who Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji was. The more I got to know India, the more I could know who he was. Firstly, I found the Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji's picture with Beatles, the famous rock group. Also I got to know that he was very famous Sitar, Indian music instrument similar to guitar.
