Bimal Mukherjee was the foremost, if not the only surviving exponent of the Jaipur Seniya sitar style of his Guru, Ustad Abid Hussain Khan. This was a dhrupad- & khayal-based style, which Mukherjee modified in response to modern sitar trends, adding touches of contemporary masters Vilayat Khan and Nikhil Banerjee in both sitar tone and playing style. Bimal Mukherjee plays three ragas, highlighting in each rendition the appropriate performance style for that raga. The majestic raga Darbari Kanada alap is dhrupad-based; the virtuosic raga Suha Kanada is khayal-based; and the romantic raga Sindhu Bhairavi is thumri-based.

Creation and Dest! ruction are two essential aspects of the universe, which is continually subject to their alternating rhythms. The two are equally dominant in the world and indeed depend upon each other in symbiotic fashion. Bhairavi embodies the principle of destruction. She arises or becomes present when the body declines and decays, which is a natural, inevitable, and irresistible force. Bhairavi is also evident in self-destructive habits, such as eating tamsic food (food having a quality associated with ignorance and lust) and drinking liquor, which wear down the body and mind. She is present, it is said, in the loss of semen, which weakens males. Anger, jealousy, and other selfish emotions and actions strengthen Bhairavi's presence in the world. Righteous behavior, conversely, makes her weaker. In short, she is an ever-present goddess who manifests herself in, and embodies, the destructive aspects of the world. Destruction, however, is not always negative, creation cannot continue with! out it. This is most clear in the process of nourishment and m! etabolis m, in which life feeds on death; creation proceeds by means of transformed energy given up in destruction. Bhairavi is also identified with Kalaratri, a name often associated with Kali that means "black night (of destruction)" and refers to a particularly destructive aspect of Kali. She is also identified with Mahapralaya, the great dissolution at the end of a cosmic cycle, during which all things, having been consumed with fire, are dissolved in the formless waters of procreation. She is the force that tends toward dissolution. This force, furthermore, which is actually Bhairavi herself, is present in each person as one gradually ages, weakens and finally dies. Destruction is apparent everywhere, and
