Tabla Beyond Borders: Life, Spirit, and Rhythm with Ritesh Das
This podcast is a space for real conversations—about rhythm, discipline, and the deeper purpose behind music. Hosted by tabla teacher and composer Ritesh Das, each episode brings together musicians, students, spiritual practitioners, and cultural workers to explore what tabla—and art itself—can reveal about life.
We speak about tradition without being bound by it. We talk honestly about the path—its doubts, its rigour, its joy. Music here is not entertainment. It’s practice. It’s presence. It’s a way to listen.
Whether you’re a student, an artist, or someone walking the inner path, these conversations invite you to reflect, question, and remember what really matters.

The Rhythm of Life: Themes, Variations, and Tihai.
In this episode of “Tabla Beyond Borders,” I explore the profound connection between tabla compositions and the rhythms of daily life. At the heart of tabla lies the concept of theme, variation, and Tihai—a structure that mirrors the way we navigate our own journeys.
Themes represent the foundations of our lives—the steady routines and patterns we rely on. Variations embody the challenges, opportunities, and creativity that emerge when life disrupts these patterns, calling us to adapt and grow. And the Tihai, the rhythmic conclusion, brings balance and closure, allowing us to prepare for new beginnings.
Through the lens of tabla, this episode invites listeners to reflect on their own rhythms, cycles, and the beauty of finding harmony in life’s ebb and flow. Music becomes more than sound—it becomes a metaphor for resilience, growth, and renewal.
🎧 Tune in for an inspiring journey that connects music, rhythm, and life itself.
