About Meeta Pandit
Acknowledged as the scion of the Gwalior musical gharana, Meeta Pandit has emerged as a shining star in the world of classical music. Meeta is grand-daughter and disciple of Padma Bhushan Pt Krishna Rao Shankar Pandit, the doyen of Northern Indian Classical music in the 20th century, and the daughter and disciple of legendary Pt L K Pandit.

Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty is poised today as nearly a cult figure among all hitherto legendary Indian Classical Vocalists.

About the Topics 

HAPPINESS:  Every living being is in the pursuit of happiness. However, very few of us achieve it. Vedanta gives a unique formula for happiness by which we can gain bliss both in the immediate present as well as in the long term. It prescribes methods by which we can attain happiness at every level of our personality - sensual, emotional, intellectual as well as spiritual. 

RELATIONSHIPS: DISCORD TO  ACCORD

Do  you have  conflict  with  the  people  you  love  most? Love tainted with selfishness  When you are attached you expect a return for your affection. You make demands on people. The relationship becomes conflict-ridden. In the end, it breaks down and you lose the  person.Vedanta steps in with solutions to this problem.Jaya will explain how to Expand your mind and to get attached to the higher when you  get detached  from  the  lower. True love is born and your relationships become free from strife.

INSPIRED LIVING

with all its  gizmos and hi-tech entertainment, still finds life boring and depressing. What is sorely lacking in life is ‘INSPIRATION’. Life  changes magically from boredom to excitement when you are enthused and inspired. It enables them to transform into extraordinary achievers. Jaya presents the knowledge using contemporary examples and anecdotes and motivates her audiences to live inspired lives.
