"Dear Sir below me:
What Shri Hari is playing or what you say "trying to sell you" is a SITAR. Are you unlearned? I personally have one and it is a very NICE student sitar, got from somewhere else a long time ago and u know what it was? Around $900.00. They are NOT cheap instruments. A good sitar is priceless, like a guitar by Fender or whatever..
He is trying to sell you one of his because he teaches SITAR as well and wouldnt it be better to learn from a master with one of his than someone else's whose isnt tuned properly and could possibly be damaged from the boat it came on from India? He most likely has many available and im sure they are wonderful Sitars. That is NOT a pricey price either. Thats actually a good deal. But alas I already have one, and it is to be blessed by Shri Yogi Hari as well as my Tabla. It is one of the most difficult instruments in this world to play. Besides the tabla, it is probably the hardest. He also teaches yoga asana and all other types of yoga to people at his ashram in Florida. He has many devotees and is a highly respected Guru. Why did you even buy or watch this dvd? What exactly were you looking for? You dont even know what a sitar is !!! I KNOW this DVD is NOT an infomercial, and it is un-wise of you to publicly diss a Guru of his lineage. Ever heard of Swami Sivananda from Bihar? Thats the Line he comes from. VERY highly respected. Sir, I suggest you do your research before leaving 1-star comments on a beautiful wonderful person, and Guru such as Shri Yogi Hari. This dvd is VERY GOOD. He is bascally introducing you to yoga of instrumental sound.
Thank you. OM NAMAH SHIVAH! Namaste."
This is a one of a kind DVD, I loved it, it helped me so muc

"You cannot find any other DVD like this. What Sri Yogi Hari Presents in it really helps one to establish a good foundation in Nada Yoga. It teaches you the basics for playing the Harmonium (keyboard instrument) which helps you to develop awareness of the natural notes of the music scale. It includes several Alankaars (exercises on the Harmonium) and counting with the Alankaars to establish rythm and balance. After you have that foundation you will be able to play so many chants and Bhajans just by listening to them. This is how i started playing the Harmonium, and it really helped me. It also helped me improve my chanting. The DVD also includes breathing exercises (to wake up "Prana" - life force, and develop concentration and breath control; this is very beneficial for chanting) and exercises to develop rythm; these exercises seem really basic, but to do them perfectly (and this is what yoga is about) takes much practice.
Sri Yogi Hari is not trying to sell anything on this DVD, he teaches how to play the harmonium which they sell in his Ashram for $750 dollars. That is really a good price and they are top quality Harmoniums! Yogi Hari is not trying to misslead anyone, he is trying to pass down the perfect knowledge that he recieved from his Guru, Swami Nada-Brahmananda. ofcourse people expect to learn all kinds of complicated stuff, but for that to happen, you first need to lay a good foundation, and that is what Sri Yogi hari does on this DVD. It is true Nada Yoga, because it helps one to develop concentration and focus of mind, which prepare the mind for meditaiton.
Sri Yogi Hari has so much more amazing products, CD's, Hatha Yoga DVD's, books and much more.
If you take advantage of his teachings, it will really help you lead a happy, healthy and peacefull life.
He has a web site : www.yogihari.com, check it out!
Om Shantih,
Omkara."
