About
Ojas, a child prodigy in Music, was born in Chikhli, Maharashtra. His father, Dr. Yogesh Adhiya, spotted his keen interest in percussion at a tender age of 2 at Siddha Yoga Guru Swami Muktananda and Gurumayi Chidvilasanandas chanting and meditation centre. Padmashree Kalyanji recognizing the boy's talent, Ojas's father put him under the care of Shri Kalyanji-Anandji Music maestros. Ojas, at the age of 5, was sent through Shri Kalyanji bhai to one of his close family friend Shri Mridangraj ji to learn traditional niceties of the tabla including accompaniments. Thus Ojas became the Gandaa Bandh Shaagird-Disciple of Shri Mridangraj ji at the age of 5.
