INTRO: Deeksha...is a Sanskrit word for the "transfer of divine
energy." In the West, we might call it a blessing, a transmission,
or a spiritual healing. Whatever you call it, in music you know it
when you hear it, and there's a venerable genre of Indian music
dedicated to it that's been embraced and extended by Western
musicians.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we return to the ardent,
timeless, devotional sound of Indian music on a program called...
DEEKSHA.
