About the Book
Vedanta and the Music Within is a book about discovering the quiet intelligence that lives beneath our thoughts, our habits, and even our art. It begins with a simple question: What happens when the wisdom of the Upanishads meets the inner world of music — not as an art, but as a way of understanding ourselves?
This book invites readers to explore Vedanta in a way that is practical, gentle, and deeply personal. It does not demand prior spiritual knowledge, nor does it speak only to trained musicians. Instead, it opens a doorway for anyone who has ever felt moved by a song, calmed by a rhythm, or awakened by a moment of stillness.
Through short insights, relatable examples, and reflections rooted in everyday life, the book shows how music can help us recognise patterns of the mind, dissolve internal noise, and return to a more natural state of clarity. It explains how awareness, attention, ego, freedom, and harmony — central ideas in Vedanta — appear continuously in the way we listen, create, react, and express ourselves.
Rather than offering rigid answers, Vedanta and the Music Within encourages readers to observe their own inner “sur” — the tone behind their actions, choices, fears, and desires. The book’s purpose is simple: to help people live with more ease, more honesty, and more presence, using music as a companion and Vedanta as a compass.
A book for seekers, learners, artists, and everyone who wishes to understand themselves a little better.
About the Author
Kaushik’s work extends beyond performance. As a teacher, he has mentored students across the world, helping them discover confidence, emotional balance, and creative freedom through music. His earlier book, The Way of the Sound, introduced readers to the subtle relationship between silence, presence, and artistic expression — a theme he continues to expand with Vedanta and the Music Within.
Alongside his musical life, Kaushik has led teams in the corporate world, worked closely with rural communities, and built learning environments that place empathy and self-awareness at their core. His deep love for animals, travel, and cooking reflects the same curiosity and openness that shape his creative work.
In this book, he brings together decades of practice, introspection, and teaching to offer readers a gentle path toward understanding themselves. His writing remains rooted in lived experience — honest, accessible, and guided by the belief that every human carries a quiet music waiting to be heard.
