I am very happy to know that Saptak is entering 25 years. I have been associated with 'Saptak' right from beginning. This is a rare organisation which was formed not for any commercial purpose but for propagation of Indian classical music with total dedication. Today Saptak has got a unique position among the cultural events in India, a festival of music for consecutive thirteen nights, presenting great quality music not only by the leading musicians of India but also by the young talented musician of next generation. Today Saptak is also Known in foreign countries. NRI's and other people from different countries make it a point to attend Saptak festival. I congratulate Shri Nandan Mehta and his associates on this occasion. May God give him and Saptak a long life.
