Nath perceives that

music

can not only help endure the coronavirus quarantine but also heal from

anxiety

&

depression

triggered due to the pandemic.

Born & hailing from a renowned family of musicians of Varanasi who have traditionally played for over two and half centuries, Paras has taken to music by inheritance.

He mastered his inherited musical genius with the help of his gurus- his grandfather- Late Pt. Shiv Nath, his father Pt.

Amar Nath

and his brother Shri Pankaj Nath.

Paras who has delved into the realms of Shashtriya

Sangeet

(Indian Classical Music) for many years now believes that the sound of

flute

captivates the interest of people and has done so since the time of

Lord Krishna

. "Flute is a great way to feel de-stressed. We might be living in the digital age today, but the beautiful sound produced by the flute cannot be replaced by any digital device” says he.
For Paras playing the flute is a form of meditation that enhances his spiritual awareness."Playing the flute leads me to the spiritual awakening of my soul. Overall it offers a positive effect on my body. Music can calm anxiety & depression and provide a pleasant diversion & it may even help the rest of us to cope with the novel coronavirus pandemic. The gentle music of the

bansuri

helps in the removal of emotional blockages and reduces tensions"concludes Nath.
