Three months ago, Dilip Dahanukar, founder trustee of Prafulla Dahanukar Art Foundation (PDAF), a non-profit organisation that promotes Art in India, made an unusual request to Pandit Satyasheel Deshpande to compose a 'khayal' in a Five Minute Classical Music (FMCM) format, which would appeal to the younger audience.

"It is scientifically proven that classical music has healing and soothing capacities. While Mozart is recommended for prenatal mothers, and morning ragas have proved to spread positive vibes in a listener, the young generation is impatient. To introduce them to Hindustani classical music, we thought it was a great idea to create a mobile version," says Dahanukar, who has packaged this piece as Brain Yoga Music.
