We are deeply humbled and delighted to share a proud moment in the journey of ShivNaad Events and ShivNaad Sangeet Academy — a heartfelt letter of recognition and appreciation from the Honorable Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel.
In his kind message, the Chief Minister acknowledged the artistic and cultural contributions made by Shri Sadashiv Dave, our founder, through the medium of geet, sangeet, ghazal, and traditional garba. He appreciated how the melodies of ShivNaad continue to enrich the cultural landscape of Anand, Umreth, and Nadiad, keeping the spiritual and artistic rhythm alive in the region.
Highlights from the Honorable CM’s Message:
- Recognition of ShivNaad’s consistent efforts in cultural upliftment and national consciousness through temple and public performances.
- Praise for ShivNaad Sangeet Academy, especially for nurturing young talent and helping school children connect with the essence of poetry, music, and language.


- Special mention of the competitions and activities organized to introduce children to the beauty of poetic expression and musical traditions.
- Acknowledgment of Sadashivbhai’s dedicated musical journey and tireless contribution to the field of music education and performance.
A Grateful Note from Us
This recognition is not just an honor for Sadashiv Dave personally, but a moment of celebration for every student, artist, supporter, and well-wisher who has walked alongside us on this musical path.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Shri Bhupendra Patel for his encouraging words and blessings. It strengthens our resolve to continue our work — spreading joy through music, preserving Gujarat’s Bhatigadh Sanskruti, and inspiring the next generation through Prachin Garba, Vaidik Lagna Geet, and more.
A Special Thank You
We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to Shri Dadhichi Thaker for his invaluable support and encouragement throughout this journey. His guidance and belief in the power of music and culture have played a significant role in this recognition and in shaping ShivNaad’s mission.
Here’s to tradition, passion, and the timeless power of music.
– Team ShivNaad
