My Music, My Life chronicles the extraordinary career of India’s best-known musician. Through his relationships with George Harrison and Philip Glass in the 1960s, Ravi Shankar brought Indian classical musical to the world stage and became one of the most influential musicians of the era, even performing at Woodstock in 1969. Here, Shankar describes in his own words his transformation from a young traveling dancer to a Grammy Awardwinning, internationally recognized musician. At once a compelling memoir, a history of Indian classical music, and a manual on how to play the sitar, the book is as much about living a musical life as it is about the art of music. Originally published in 1968, this edition features a new foreword by Philip Glass, stunning, never-before-published photographs, and a new final chapter detailing Shankar’s hope for the preservation of Indian classical music.

Celebrating Love

Dating from the classical Vedanta period, Ashtavakra Gita is a profound enquiry into the nature of reality. The exchange between the enquirer, Janaka, and the sage, Ashtavakra, is remarkable in its maturity and scope, ranging form the conditions required for knowledge to be given, the nature of action and inaction, the behavior of the mind and how it is influenced by the five elements, to the psychology of difficult emotions lie fear and doubt. In this remarkable book, H. H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar provides a complete commentary on one of the most unique conversations that has taken place on this planet.
