Some of the accolades received are:
“Music is not a profession for His Holiness
Acharya Goswami Gokulotsavji. Music is his passion - a passion rising from
the founts of deep devotion for he belongs to a religious body, the
Vallabh Sampradaya, which has music firmly embedded in its fundamental
thinking. His flair for music comes naturally and spontaneously. I have
become a great admirer of his music”.
Pandit Ravi Shankar
“His gayaki is matchless, pure and
perfect”.
Pandit Jasraj
“I have derived much peace and bliss from
listening to Maharaji’s gayaki”.
Bhimsen Joshi - Sawai Gandharva
Festival, Pune
“I have not heard anyone sing the sort of
taans that Maharaji sings”.
Pandit Ram Narayan
“I cannot praise Gokulotsavji’s singing
enough. His voice is so beautiful that each note emits light. His Khyal is
wonderful because his foundation is in Dhrupad. We were privileged to hear
Lahak taans which are seldom heard as they are difficult to sing in Khyal.
His taan rendering is like torrential rain. He is a great and complete
artist. He is the SUN and torch bearer of Vallabh sampradaya”.
N Aminuddin Khan Dagar
“His taans consist of everything; Lahak,
akar, daggar, andola, dhuran, muran, kampit, sphurit, meend, zarabtaan,
moorchana, gamak and mercurieus”.
N Aminuddin Khan Dagar
“The introduction of a four albums called
Ustadi, Gayaki by Acharya Goswami Gokulotsavji Maharaj has excited
considerable interest”.
The Indian Post – Bombay
“Goswami Gokulotsavji Maharaj’s compositions
in Khyal and Tarana have always enamored the audience through All India
Radio and TV. He is a versatile genius of our times”.
Free Press Indore
“Those who saw his national program on
Doordarshan were taken aback by his virtuosity. The presentation of some
of his own compositions were so enjoyable that one wished he had included
more of his own bandishes in the concert”.
