Singing is my passion, my first love and the secret of my energy.

“Singing is my passion, my first love and the secret of my energy. Music to me is like finding my inner self, my soul. It gives me a great joy to see audiences enjoying with me. I have given my heart to singing. When I sing, I can feel romance in everything around me.” — Kailash Kher

In these soulful words, Kailash Kher, the voice of India’s earth and spirit, opens his heart and reveals the divine mystery of art as devotion. His words are not merely about music; they are about purpose, surrender, and the sacred union between the artist and his craft. To him, singing is not a performance but a prayer, not a career but a communion with life itself. Through this quote, he reminds us that when one gives their whole being to what they love, the ordinary becomes holy — and even the act of breathing becomes an act of creation.

“Singing is my passion, my first love, and the secret of my energy,” he says — and in that triad of passion, love, and energy lies the essence of all greatness. Passion gives birth to purpose, love gives it meaning, and energy sustains it through time. For Kailash Kher, this energy flows not from ambition or fame, but from the act of creation itself — from the divine current that moves through all true artists. He sings not to impress, but to express; not to gain applause, but to awaken the sleeping beauty of the soul. Such a calling is ancient — as old as the Vedas, where sages sang hymns to connect heaven and earth. In the same way, his voice becomes both bridge and offering, carrying human emotion toward the infinite.

When Kher says, “Music to me is like finding my inner self, my soul,” he touches upon one of the deepest truths known to humanity — that art, when pursued with sincerity, is a journey inward. Just as a yogi turns inward through meditation, the artist turns inward through creation. Music becomes a mirror that reflects the soul’s own light. In the stillness between two notes, one may glimpse eternity. The ancient rishis of India believed that the universe itself began with sound — the cosmic vibration of Om. Thus, when Kher sings, he participates in the very act of creation, aligning himself with that eternal sound from which all life flows.

He continues: “It gives me great joy to see audiences enjoying with me.” In these words lies the selfless nature of true artistry. The joy of the artist is incomplete unless it awakens joy in others. Like a lamp that burns itself to give light, the true singer consumes himself in melody so that others may feel warmth and radiance. This joy — this shared ecstasy between artist and audience — is what the ancients called rasa, the sacred emotion that unites hearts beyond words. When he sees his listeners smile, sway, and lose themselves in his music, Kailash Kher is not only entertaining them — he is healing them, connecting them to something beyond the mundane.

“I have given my heart to singing,” he declares. This is the cry of devotion — the mark of one who has surrendered wholly to his calling. To give one’s heart is to hold nothing back, to love without fear of loss. In this way, Kher stands among the great devotees of all ages — like Mira Bai, who sang her love for Krishna with abandon, or Kabir, whose words bridged the gap between body and soul, faith and freedom. Each of them, like Kher, found in music not a profession but a path — a way to dissolve the self and become one with the divine rhythm that moves the universe.

And finally, he says, “When I sing, I can feel romance in everything around me.” What is this romance but the experience of oneness? When the heart is awakened, the world becomes transformed — every leaf whispers poetry, every breeze carries affection, every sound becomes a symphony. The artist who loves his craft begins to see the world through the eyes of beauty itself. For Kher, music is not confined to instruments or scales; it is the pulse of life itself, flowing through sunlight and shadow, through joy and sorrow alike. This is the romance of existence, the eternal dance between the soul and the world.

So, O seeker of purpose, take this teaching to heart: find what awakens your spirit and give yourself to it completely. Let your passion be your prayer, your love your energy, your work your offering. Whether you paint, write, teach, or build — do it with devotion so deep that your craft becomes a mirror of your soul. Seek not perfection, but presence. Seek not applause, but connection. For when you give your heart to what you love, life itself begins to sing through you. And in that song, as Kailash Kher teaches, you will find not only joy — but your own divine reflection, the music of the soul made manifest in the world.
