My condolences go out to Mr Shankar's family during this time of grief. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to see him perform in the 1970's during the George Harrison tour and I was truly amazed by his musicianship.
He was a true gentleman and genuine humanitarian. His music will live on forever may God Bless him.

Ed Sullivan introduced us to George and George introduced us to you, the beauty of eastern music and the sounds of the Indian instruments will live in the hearts and minds of the Western World forever, I am honored to have met you, every time I hear the sitar I think of you and George, thank you Ravi for all the beauty you left on earth. from John Augustine Patrick, Milwaukee Wisconsin U.S.A.
Celebrating a life well lived. You can cherish the memories forever.(John 6:40)..."For this is the will of my Father,that everyone thatbeholds the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life,and I will resurrest him at the last day."
Thanks Ravi! I saw you with George Harrison and Billy Preston in Atlanta, back in November of 1974. Contrary to what the critics had to say, I thought the show was EXCELLENT! Thank you for sharing your wonderful musical talents with a western culture that many times did not have the patience or good sense to appreciate. Your influence on the Beatles' music, thru George's wishes, will forever be there for us to enjoy. Norwegian Wood and Within You and Without You were fine examples! Enjoy your Magical Mystery Tour Ravi and may god bless your soul and comfort your family in their loss.
Thanks For Sharing Your Gargantuan Talents!

Ravi's playing along with the angels.
May you rest in peace.
I DANCED TO THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC OF Ravi Shankar. Using veils I performed as I think Isadora Duncan would have, Ravi's music made my dancing a prayer.
The beauty and genius of Ravi Shankar will remain unsurpassed eternally.
Ravi Shankar's music is what I grew up on in the 60s. His beauty and creativity will eternally be unsurpassed.
Thank you for showing a new way to see and feel music.
Until our paths meet,
Guy.
Colors dance with emotions on the cosmic strings that vibrate through the soul.
The vast expanse of nothingness is not. For infinate numbers of stars, seen and unseen, fade, ebb and flicker, and are interconnected.
One influences the next, which influences the next, until the One.
Endless music fills the heavens.
Those who are in tune, forever shall hear His heart and soul pour forth the love of the old world and for a special few, the next.
May all who love Ravi Shankar hold him dear in their memories, and cry not out of grief, but cry out for the joy, love and the awesomeness that is He: "Ravi Shankar".
Peace to all.
My sincere sympathy to the family. May God Almighty comfort you in your time of grief. Psalms 55:22.

Incredible musician, wonderful man! Turned on a whole generation to beautiful music and powerful movement.

I heard and saw Ravi Shankar play a marathon sitar solo in 1974. It was a once-in-a-lifetime event, though putting what he could do with that instrument into mere words fails. He will be missed but his impact on world music is eternal.
RIP Ravi Shankar
My deepest sympathies to your
family - I loved your music -

Now, you and George Harrison can play together, again.
Thank you for gracing the planet with your loving presence. Your music was a spark that helped to awaken me. Namaste, Ravi.

Rest in peace. I just did a background on this family in a music class for college. He is a true legend.
May you rest in peace Ravi! Your legacy will live on forever. What a pleasure to have known you and your family. My prayers are with the Shankar family during this difficult time. I always got a kick out of you calling me Nurse Barbie!
May the stars carry your sadness away, May the flowers fill your heart with beauty, May hope forever wipe away your tears. And, above all, may our prayers make you strong.
Sincerely yours,

I was just working a crossword puzzle and he was in it and I got the clue. Hope that he rests in peace.
Thank you, Ravi, for all you have done. I can see you and George Harrison smiling BIG smiles and playing music together. I'm glad you lived for so many years!
Thank you so much for your music! I am so sorry that I never had the opportunity to hear you play. I wish you peace and light in the next life.
My condolence to the family and fans of Mr. Shankar. May all find contentment during your time of bereavement. May we be entertained by his music again on paradise earth. Luke 23: 43
Oh what sorrow I woke up to this morning to find one of my favorite musicians is gone, but yet such joy to have enjoyed and loved your music for more than half my life. My journey with your music goes back over 30 years ago while living in Boise, Idaho. I did a little volunteer work at a radio station at the Boise state campus a little hole in the wall. Your music healed my greiving heart, restless spirit, and pain.......I will never forget the "PEACE" I felt. I learned all the great music, Coltrane, David Sylvian (who later became my newphew through marriage). I am saddened to no end, but know friend you will live on forever...........thank you........and peace, have a good journey, and perhaps may we meet someday.....Tina

The passing of Pandit Ravi Shankar is a great loss to the music world in both the East and the West. The world is going to be a much emptier place without him.
I know you are as at peace in your new life as you were in your old one.
When I was 8 years old in 1961, I walked up to the Valley Forge Music and peered over the last row of seats down to the center stage and saw and heard Ravi. tj
One of my inspirations in my formulative years, Ravi helped me see the inner light and peace of the world around me. I can still see him playing Raga Pura, tablas pounding in sync, and remember those days of my youth. Godspeed Ravi. Make music again with the rest of the band up there!
My daddy told me once that he and you use to make music together in the late 70's. He said you were one "Cool Dude" that loved pancakes and chorizo for breakfast.
What a wonderful memory to keep. Ravi was truely gifted. His talents be will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace.
May your journey into your next life be one of joy, happiness and freedom from suffering. Thank you for sharing your gift of music with the world.
A legend indeed! Listened to his music since I was a teenager - many years ago. He always brought me to another place. He will be missed, but led a long life. I know he will be playing to crowds up there.
Felice
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
Rest in peace, my friend..you are now with rest of the elite musicians playing your sitar for all to hear in the afterlife. Regards to George.
It was wonderful to experience his feelings in music
I have admires his music and his soul since I was a teenager. I feel so blessed to have seen him perform. Perhaps Ravi is making music with George (Harrison) in heaven today.
I will miss you until I see you again. Tell George hello for me
Be in peace your Music will last forever.
He will certainly turn to the prayer of those stripped [of everything], And not despise their prayer.-
Psalm 102:17. May the Shankar family be comfort by these words.
