Message: Ustad Alla Rakha represented the best India has to offer. His grace and humility, reflected in ample measure in his sons, is something we all could learn and benefit from. His pursuit of excellence is also something that every Indian can imbibe for his and country's benefit. Sincere condolences to the family. India has lost a great jewel.

Message: He brought honour to the country and treat to all music lovers. All that he has left on record is his gift to us but his biggest gift is his son, Zakir. In Zakir, we can see his reflections and remember him. I can never forget a concert I had witnessed in Stuttgart in Germany in 1989 when he and Zakir performed to a packed house and got a standing ovation. My condolences to the family and the country is with them.

Message: I loved the tabla because of Ustad Alla Rakha's wonderful art. Altough I am not an Indian and do not live in India, Alla Rakha's art gave me the essential features of the music and also gave me the pleasure to learn and play tabla. I always dreamed if one day I could watch him performing on stage. By his death I lost my chance to see him but I will listen to his art in my all life.

To Zakir and his family I pray to give them strength to bear this double loss in their lives. Ustadji was a great inspiration to my brother Geoffrey, and the kind and friendly words from the great tabla master always brought him great joy. I was honoured to sit in Abbaji's presence.

Message: Ustadji's absence in the music world will be missed indeed. We are proud and thankful of his contributions to the world of music and it is a honor to have been alive in the same century as the great tabla maestro and to have experience the "magic" of Ustadji's tabla bols resonating in your ears. There will always be one and only Ustadji -- Ustad Alla Rakha. Thank you. You will be missed.

Message: Abbaji, my deepest sympathy goes out to Zakir and his mother and siblings on this double loss. Ustad Alla Rakha was a great inspiration to my late brother Geoffrey, and the friendly and kind words from Abbaji brought him great joy. His immense talent as one of the great tabla masters continues to echo in all our hearts and minds. To have sat in a room and listened, watched and learned from the great Ustad is one of the great blessings of my life. His sound still resounds.
