Santoor concert by Pt Abhay Sopori – 5th of May 2026 in Gland
On the 5th of May 1970, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi opened the last chakra of our subtle system, the Sahasrara, paving the path to Self Realisation or Kundalini awakening.
On the occasion of the 56th anniversary of this unprecedent spiritual event, the Sahaja Yoga Association is pleased to invite you to a Santoor concert on May 5, 2026 in Gland.
This concert will be performed by a very talented artist, Pt Abhay Sopori, a young Santoor prodigy who has been receiving accolades worldwide, and a living heir of one of India’s most revered musical lineages.
The santoor is a trapezoid-shaped dulcimer native to Jammu & Kashmir, also called as Shat Tantra Veena, or Veena of hundred strings.

Pt. Abhay Sopori
Pt. Abhay Sopori, son of the legendary Pt. Bhajan Sopori - the Saint of Santoor - is the living heir of one of India's most revered musical lineages.
He carries the Sufiana Gharana of Kashmir: rooted in Sufi devotion, refined over centuries, and passed down through one of the subcontinent's most celebrated musical families.
Some music doesn't just move you - it stills you...
This evening will also be a tribute to his father, and a continuation of his life’s work: the belief that music can connect the human soul to its own depth.
At a time when the world is searching for peace, Sahaja Yoga Meditation invites us to respond — not with more noise, but with stillness. To turn inward, and travel beneath the restlessness, beneath everything we carry, into the quiet depths of our own being. There, in that silence, transformation becomes possible: a reconnection with the self at our very core — untouched, luminous, whole — and a freeing from all the veils that lie between us and our peace.
Accompanied by santoor player Aakash Brunner and tabla maestro Chanchal Singh...
