With the Anugraha of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji and in accordance with the divine directions of Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji, the inaugural session of Naada Shankara – Music Workshop Series, organised by Sangeeta Sharada, an initiative of the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri, was held on June 26th, 2026 at Guru Nivasa, Narasimhavana, Sringeri.

The workshop series was specially designed for music enthusiasts to learn the sacred compositions of Bhagavatpada Sri Adi Shankaracharya and the revered Jagadguru Guru Parampara through the authentic tradition of Carnatic music. Along with refining their musical understanding, the programme sought to gradually cultivate a devotional temperament and a contemplative outlook rooted in the Advaita tradition.

Led by the distinguished musicians and scholars Dr. R. S. Nanda Kumar and Dr. Srikantam Nagendra Shastri, both of whom possess deep Shraddha towards the Advaita Parampara, the workshop presented a thoughtfully structured curriculum that made the learning of these compositions accessible to participants of varying levels. Both well-known and rare compositions were taught using simple musical notations, enabling systematic and effortless learning while preserving their traditional musical and spiritual essence.

Jagadguru Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji inaugurated the workshop and blessed the participants with an Anugraha Bhashanam. The event is organised gor 3 days from June 26th to 28th, 2026 at Sringeri.
