A few people have asked me to share how raagabox started. It’s just a small short story, I write it here for anyone curious or looking for inspiration –
One day an young man, Akash, sang a beautiful bhajan Hey Krishna at the Boston Sai Center that I attend frequently. Akash and I had known each other but until then we had never met. After the bhajans were over, I mentioned to Akash that his bhajan was very beautiful and that he should sing it again so I can record it this time. He said “That would be awesome but I am leaving to Los Angeles this evening for good, I am done with my college here”. That was a bummer, I felt at that moment that no one ever should miss out on a beautiful bhajan or a piece of good music. Shortly thereafter, I created raagabox.com, started the website with a handful of songs, a single web page and 2 initial users. The site has now grown into thousands of bhajans and songs, thousands of listeners from over 50 countries using it on a regular basis.
Thanks to all who have been extremely supportive of this project, it is only getting started, we understand that the site is nowhere near perfect. There are many quirks, small annoyances. The good news is that we are constantly working on the site to improve it. We have been adding small features, taking some features out because no one was using them, we want the site to be simple to use. You come to the site to enjoy music and our goal is to get you that music in one click if possible.
Your feedback, suggestions and critique to improve the usability of the site is much appreciated. Please write back to us feedback@raagabox.com.
Thank you, share the joy, enjoy!
