Have you ever felt a song so deeply that it brought tears to your eyes? Or experienced a piece of music that seemed to understand your pain better than any words could?
In this inaugural episode of the Mynd Durbar, host Anitha Aswath takes us on a soul-stirring journey through Karuna Rasa - the emotion of compassion and sorrow in Indian classical music.
We'll explore how music can be our faithful companion in times of grief, a bridge to empathy, and a balm for our wounded souls. From personal stories of loss to global musical masterpieces, we're diving deep into the transformative power of melancholy in melody.

- Anitha talks about the loss of her father in 2019 and how music became a powerful tool for facing grief and beginning the healing process.
- Music as a faithful companion that lifts, holds, and comforts.
