To be successful in anything, one has to have a passion for it, and that leads to enthusiastic and demanding learning. A knowledge seeker is always a student throughout his life. Eventhough Abilash has been actively learning and performing Carnatic music, he has also been teaching carnatic music and he believes that there is always a process of learning in teaching too. Abilash employs various scientific techniques added with traditional practices and makes it interesting for the students with the support of latest available technology, which makes him one of the few most sought after, lovable, friendly and understanding gurus of the current generation of classical musicians. One important quality of Abilash as a guru is that he can connect with any student very quickly and can understand their needs and make them work in their way to achieve the goal.
