  • Lessons in Perseverance
    Articles by Prince Rama Varma Lessons in Perseverance We all know that India is a land of surprises. One may come across such treasures as original Raja Ravi Varma paintings hidden away in the lofts of ancient family homes in Kerala or Stradivarius violins made in the 1790s lying in an antique shop somewhere. One meets all kinds of amazing and unexpected people too. Many such treasures, be they people, places or things, sadly cannot be always shared with the public. However, there are some treasures which fortunately can be shared and here is one that I'd like to share with you. One of the most pristine, unspoilt and serene parts of India is North Karnataka or North Canara... places like Hubli and Dharwad. Rich tradition Despite being in South India, this belt has had a very rich tradition of North Indian classical music for several years and has produced some of the greatest maestros that our country has seen, like the Late Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur, Gangubai Hangal and others. One of the treasures hidden away in this part of the country is a little village called Hasanagi. To reach Hasanagi, one first has to take an overnight train to Hubli from Bengalooru [Bangalore]. Then an hour's journey by car would bring one to a little town called Yellapura.And Hasanagi is a short drive away from Yellapura. What makes Hasanagi, a little village that's hidden away in the hills and forests of North Karnataka, so special? This is where a miracle worker named Pandit Ganapathi Bhatt lives and works his miracles.
