It is with deep sadness and humility that we share the passing of our great friend, teacher, guru, and inspiration Roshan Jamal Bhartiya. Roshanji has been an incredible gift to our community and has shared his wisdom and strength with so many of us here. He is a bright light which will not cease to shine even though he has left us, and those of you who have experienced his music or met him will know exactly what we mean. He has left a legacy of unparalleled dedication to music that will live on far beyond him.
Roshanji passed away peacefully in September, 2025 surrounded by his close family, spending the final two weeks of his life in India with his children and grandchildren. Before departing back to India, many of his students and friends showed up to care for him with incredible generosity, caring for him closely as his health declined. These were tender moments for all that will be cherished forever.
