School of Inspired Leadership (SOIL) had the privilege to host the Sarod Maestro Ayaan Ali Khan, the younger son and disciple of one of the 20th century’s greatest masters of the Sarod - Amjad Ali Khan. Ayaan delivered a mesmerizing performance and awestruck SOIL students with his presence. This performance was part of the SPIC MACAY Fest 2014 series. SOIL being SPIC MACAY’s key partner in Gurgaon, led this event as an endeavor to teach the practice of ‘Mindfulness’ to young leaders through music.
Commenting during the occasion, Mr. Anil Sachdev, Founder & CEO, SOIL said, “Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present in the ‘moment’. Music enables self awareness in which our inner voice is the witness of all that we think, feel or do.” He thanked Ayaan & SPIC MACAY leaders for their graceful presence and for giving SOIL students an opportunity to experience & learn through this rare art form.
Ayaan during his performance mentioned “When the hearts are in place, music follows”. He complimented SOIL for taking such initiatives and encouraging students to learn through multiple intelligences.
