Rafi’s star-studded musical journey
earned him countless awards and accolades

कदमो के निशा खुद ही, मंजिल का पता होंगे

Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.
Plato (an ancient Greek Philosopher)

God respects me when I work, but he loves me when I sing.
Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore (Nobel Laureate)

A person who takes medicine must recover twice. Once from the disease and once from the medicine. Whereas music is doubly blessed. One to the giver and to the listener as well and when there is mercy in that music, it elevates to godliness and not just twice, many times over, many years over, nay several millennia over survives human memory and becomes an eternal source of inspiration.
(Partly contributed by William Osler – Canadian Physician & applied to Rafi Saheb’s quality of singing)

Rafi’s music undoubtedly belongs to this class of music!
