Pandit Gopal Mishra - A Musical Prodigy in His Own Right

On record, there are only two people in the world who can play more than 100 musical instruments. One is Lori Blackwell, who is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for playing 107 musical instruments. The other is Pandit Gopal Mishra, who can play 140 musical instruments. Born in Puri district of Orissa in 1956, Pandit Mishra was always attracted to music, even after facing strong opposition from his orthodox father. But even in the face of grim oppression, Pandit Mishra could not suppress his passion and learnt music under six different teachers. Pandit Gopal Mishra has an MBBS degree. But unable to completely devote himself to anything but music, he gave up his medical practice. Pandit Mishra had also joined the Indian film industry as a musician. But that did not last for long too as he gave that up to discover new instruments to make music with.Pandit Gopal Mishra plays Indian as well as western musical instruments like sarangi, tabla, harmonium, sitar, santoor and guitar. Currently residing in Aurangabad, Pandit Mishra is the founder of 'Music Ocean Academy', which has taught music to more than 15,000 Indians as well as foreign students.Pandit Mishra possesses 115 musical instruments, and says that once he is proficient in another 25 instruments, he will be making an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records. Not someone to bask in glory all alone, Pandit Mishra gives equal credit for his success to his sister and his wife, who helped him keep his hopes up and his dreams alive.
