Yogi Ashish is an inborn musician. His expertise as a violinist, which qualifies him for Nada Yoga and Laya Yoga, and his avid pursuit of Raja Yoga have culminated in an excellent blend. At the early stage of his life, he went through Jnana Yoga, but gradually he came to the conclusion that mere jnana is not the ultimate way leading to total enlightenment, and his inner propensities soon drew him automatically to the royal road of Raja Yoga. As he is a violinist, his practice of Raja Yoga has resulted in a great harmony with his dedicated performance of music .He plays violin to facilitate meditation. For about forty years, he has been performing on the violin in order to assist persons at meditation.

Early in life, Yogi Ashish had the good fortune of meeting a number of enlightened masters and was blessed by them. Recently, he has developed ideas and techniques of the holistic practice of Raja Yoga -cum- Laya Yoga or Nada Yoga, helped by inspired music. A wonderful effect is created among his audience by this combined approach during his lecture- demonstrations and meditation-training sessions.
