Panditji is not one to rest and take an easy route in his art or his life. He challenges himself and each of his students to reach their highest potential in all ways.

For a world class artist to take himself and his work to this environment and to give hope and a different kind of meaning to the lives of these children is of ultimate importance in showing what can be done if each person has the will to give back to the world as he does.

Just an FYI, the courtesan world is gone. He is not, as he says, teaching them to become dancers, he is teaching them to believe in themselves. There can be no expectations, he knows he cannot stop prostitution, it’s the oldest profession in the world! What’s important is he does not rest on being a world famous artist, he uses his fame and his great artistry for good. You’re right, we need more people in the world like him!
