A unique Meditation and Healing Music concert - "Panchatattva Raga Sagara" was held in Hyderabad's coveted Shilpa Kala Vedika on 14 Dec 2007. Pujya Sri Swamiji played healing music based on Ragas and melodies related to the five natural elements viz. earth, water, fire, air and ether. The hour long melody was very soothing and relaxing.

The auditorium was full to its capacity of 2400 persons. Another unique feature was the 12 Tanpuras (drone instrument) played by 12 Veda students from Mysore Ashrama's Veda school. This concert was telecast live on Doordarshan's DD-8 Saptagiri Television channel from 6: 30 pm to 9:30 pm. Before the concert, Dr. Phanishree of Mysore Ashrama gave a presentation on Sri Swamiji's Healing music apects.
