ITC Sangeet Research Academy began its journey in 1978 to propagate and nurture Hindustani Classical music. In the last four and a half decades, this Kolkata-based institution has grown in impact and significance, turning out to be an embodiment of sustained corporate commitment to the national heritage it is committed to. In 1978, ITC Ltd took a giant pioneering step in corporate patronage of a form which, at that point, was teetering on the brink of oblivion to turn it around. Great gurus were identified and brought into the campus from all over the country to live there and teach. Potential Scholars were also scouted from all across to learn from the Gurus so that Hindustani Classical Music could be nurtured and propagated. Blending today’s research methods with the purity of the age-old Guru-Shishya tradition, ITC SRA is recognized as the finest repository of Hindustani Vocal Music

"This life for me is an endeavor to help people experience and express their divinity. May you know the bliss of the Divine.” - SADHGURU

Sadhguru, a yogi and profound mystic of our times, is a visionary and a prominent spiritual leader. A contemporary Guru, rooted as strongly in mundane and pragmatic matters as he is in inner experience and wisdom, Sadhguru works tirelessly towards the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of all. His mastery of the mechanisms of life, an outcome of his profound experience of the Self, guides in exploring the subtler dimensions of life.
