Before any true learning begins, the ego must dissolve before the Guru.
One of the leading bansuri maestros of the Maihar gharana, Pandit Nityanand Haldipur reflects on the profound influence of his guru, the legendary yet reclusive Annapurna Devi.
But what does it truly mean to surrender the ego?
It’s not the loss of identity or soul, it’s the letting go of control, the quiet trust in your Guru’s guidance to draw out your deepest potential.
Annapurna Devi, who famously withdrew from public performance early in her career, dedicated her life to teaching behind closed doors — and Nityanand was one of her most devoted disciples.
