Początkowo głównym jego centrum była Ławra Pieczerska w Kijowie. Od X wieku działał na terenach dzisiejszej Ukrainy. Teodora Studyty z Konstantynopola na przełomie VIII i IX wieku. Studyci (skrót "MSU" od Monaci Studiti Ucraini) - jedna z modlitewnych wspólnot kościoła greckokatolickiego obrządku bizantyjsko-ukraińskiego. Personnel: Ravi Shankar (sitar) Kamala (tamboura) Alla Rakha (tabla). Come in with an open mind, and you will soon have something you will never be able to put down! I have since bought other Shankar recordings and they are great, but I will always come back to this one, especially for Dhun. You really feel as if you are apart of something special, because you are apart of something special. Shankar just seems to very easily control all this power, with little glances or quick words. Here is this man from India, and from he and his colleagues flows this powerful energy. This is one of the most impressive statements of music I have ever heard in my entire life. To close the "recital" they use Dhun (Dadra and Fast Teental), this is the highlight of the disc. You can really tell the crowd is amazed by the talent they are witnessing. The six minute tabla solo is a very fun way to continue. Raga Bhimpalasi is a very peaceful efficent way to start a record, it really gets you in the mood. Not only did I rediscover more than ever how great the record is, I saw the obvious influence he had on Coltrane (listen to Trane's work and tell me if you don't hear the drone). I would later return to this album and, WOW. Fantastic Record! Eventually I put it down and went about listening to other musicians, musicians such as John Coltrane, a musician I have loved for a very long time, and had read of the influence he found from Shankar's music. I had seen the Monterey movie and I connected with the performance, so when I saw this I snatched it up fairly quickly. The first time I heard this album I liked it.
