“Grace! What a hard topic to write about! That’s because Grace is fundamental to our lives.

Boris Purushottama Grebenshikov—Concert review at Sumangali.org
“Under a 14-foot portrait of Sri Chinmoy, flanked by statues of Ganesha and Saraswati, the setting was an Indian garden at night. An enclave of trees and glowing candles waited on a backdrop of winking galaxies. Hoards jostled outside for a place in the hall, peering over galleries high up into the roof to catch a glimpse of the artist. The legendary Song-Bird of St Petersburg entered with a smile of joy equal to his air of poise and humility. As he took centre stage his audience could not have been more attentive, appreciative, or more alive with electric anticipation.” So writes Sumangali Morhall in reviewing Boris Purushottama Grebenshikov at the Royal Albert Hall, London.
