musician and the raga are like the priest and the deity. Each morning as the musician sits down to practise, the soulful lyrics and the rhythm rouses the raga's divine force — quite like the ceremonial prayer performed in a temple to 'awaken' the deity. Like the priest, the musician first purifies his own mind, body and soul, and seeks his guru's blessings before he begins to sing. As the temple precincts are washed before the daily prayer ritual, the place where the riyaaz is performed each day is cleansed likewise. The priest first 'calls' the deity, what is known as the 'aavahan', with mantras and invites Him to be seated in the statue. While bathing the murti, and before starting the puja, the priest decorates it with vermillion, ash, sandalwood and silk cloth. To the chanting of mantras, the priest 'appeases' the divinity present in the murti, treating God as guest, and offering, one by one, water, milk, honey, perfume, flowers, incense, sweets and fruit, and the light of the oil lamp. Similarly, the musician now mouths the lyrics like a mantra, appeasing the raga's deity by awakening its mandala or mystic svara configuration.

For me, the second question is easier: I am not a fan of self-help books and business/management books, two genres that have all too much in common. Granted, you can find some good advice in these books. But too often the exhortations are cliched or lacking in context.

John Tavares’ $8-million tax dispute with the Canada Revenue Agency, arguing the Toronto Maple Leafs captain is offside.In a reply to Tavares’ appeal with the Tax Court of Canada, the Attorney General of Canada (AGC) is disputing Tavares’ ask to have the CRA’s reassessment of his 2018 tax return annulled.The CRA, according to Tavares’ appeal filed in January, determined his 2018 income was $17.8 million higher than reported, and ordered the player to pay $6.8 million in taxes — over 38 per cent — plus $1.2 million in interest.The 33-year-old from Mississauga, Ont., signed a seven-year, US$77-million contract to join the Leafs on July 1, 2018. He previously played for the New York Islanders from 2009 to 2018.The $17.8-million sum accounts for a US$15.25-million signing bonus in the contract’s first year, and “was integral to Tavares’ decision” to accept the deal, his appeal states.The court document added Tavares’s signing bonus “was an inducement to sign an agreement relating to the performance of an athlete,” and should not be considered as salary or wages.The AGC took issue with that in its reply filed late last month.“With respect to the entirety of the Notice of Appeal, the Attorney General of Canada (AGC) denies that any amount referred to as a ‘signing bonus’ was a signing bonus or an inducement payment,” it reads in part.Tavares’ appeal argues that at the time, he was eligible for the reduced tax rate of 15 per cent under a Canada-U.S.
