An Untold Story of Akbar, Birbal & Tansen | Sadhguru

Sadhguru narrates the story of Tansen – the finest musician in Akbar’s court – and two remarkably talented young musicians who did not give into Akbar’s request to sing in his court, but instead gave up their lives. He also speaks about how sound and music could be used to access the very source of creation.

Sadhguru was welcomed for an intimate talk at the 1500 Sound Academy in Inglewood, California in December 2021 to have a conversation on “The Power of Sound” with 4x GRAMMY® Winning Singer-Songwriter & Producer, James Fauntleroy with an introduction from Jae Deal, Mathemetician, Professor and Composer. The audience was filled with students of the academy, recording artists, music industry professionals and creatives, who dug deep into Sadhguru’s wisdom on well-being for artists, the depths of music and sound, and the impact and responsibility of influence.

Sadhguru narrates the heartrending story of a Nath Yogi who offered his eyes to a woman who was enamoured by them. On Sadhguru's Enlightenment Day, this musical story is a tribute to all the great masters who devoted their lives to making people experience divinity within, and in everybody and everything around them.

Sadhguru explains why he has been a vocal proponent of “One Nation, One Election”. He also looks at how its implementation can help Bharat overcome some of its long-standing challenges and obstacles and bring economic wellbeing to millions of underprivileged people.
