Tabla Beyond Borders: Life, Spirit, and Rhythm with Ritesh Das
This podcast is a space for real conversations—about rhythm, discipline, and the deeper purpose behind music. Hosted by tabla teacher and composer Ritesh Das, each episode brings together musicians, students, spiritual practitioners, and cultural workers to explore what tabla—and art itself—can reveal about life.
We speak about tradition without being bound by it. We talk honestly about the path—its doubts, its rigour, its joy. Music here is not entertainment. It’s practice. It’s presence. It’s a way to listen.
Whether you’re a student, an artist, or someone walking the inner path, these conversations invite you to reflect, question, and remember what really matters.

"False Gurus, Real Lessons" Episode 12
In this powerful follow-up to Episode 12 (What is a Guru), Ritesh Das dives into the difficult but necessary topic of false Gurus—and the lessons they leave behind.
Drawing from Vedic roots and personal experience, he explores how false teachers appear in many forms: not just in ashrams, but in friendships, spiritual circles, relationships, and leadership roles. What happens when guidance turns into control? When surrender becomes manipulation?
This episode isn’t about blame. It’s about clarity. It’s about reclaiming your inner compass.
You’ll hear reflections on:
- The original Vedic meaning of Guru
- How even well-intentioned leaders can misguide
- Why true learning includes questioning
- And how real wisdom begins within
Whether you've followed a teacher, trusted a guide, or been let down along the way—this episode is a mirror, and maybe a turning point.
Tat twam asi. You are That.
