Being a woman, the Roohani Sister’s excellence in Sufi music and their idea of propagating this music ahead has made them earn laurels. They believe that music is not gender-biased, all it needs is a pure soul and dedication to present it ahead; Roohani Sisters have done the same and will continue to do so in the times to come.

When it comes to music, then creativity and innovation are an integral part of it, and that’s what makes the music establish an instant connection with the listeners. Roohani sisters have learned this art and excelled in it. Every time they perform, they can win the hearts of people. One reason for this is their mesmerizing and enhancing voice which strings people together, and another reason for this is that they merge the Indian classical with the Sufi music which gives the music a new direction.

Roohani Sisters truely believe in the Sufi Tradition of Music. The ability to create that unique connect with the audience has always been a great differentiator. She writes and composes her own Sufi Qalams that have been a great hit with the listeners.

Dr.Jagriti Luthra Prasanna is a doctorate ( PHD degree holder) in Sufi Music from Delhi University. She has written her thesis on the work and contribution of Lt. Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan to Sufi Music. The ability to give mesmerizing and soulful performances has been passed on to her by her gurus and elders who believed in her idea of spreading the message of Sufi Saints.

She is also a sincere disciple of Ustaad Sakhawat Hussain, Grandson of Padma Bhushan Ustaad Mushtaq Hussain Khan of Rampur-Sahaswan gharana from whom she learnt the technicalities of Sufi and Ghazal Gayaki.

Additionally, Roohani Sisters perform different forms of music such as Nirgun Bhakti Sangeet and Sugam Bhakti Sangeet. Sugam Bhakti Sangeet like Guru Bhajans, Krishna Bhajans, Shiv Bhajans and Devi Bhajans which combines their classicism and modernity in right balance.

Roohani Sisters rendered many poetry accredited to Kabir, Ramdas and Mirabai - the medieval Indian saint to which most of them are self- attribute. There poetries emphasize the transitory nature of life, non-attachment to the mundane, the inevitability of death, and salvation through devotion. They performed Nirgun Bhakti Sangeet at its excellence. This form of worship was propagated by Nirgun saints through their writings and songs by breaking away the oppressive caste and gender hierarchy associated with temple worship of icons.

Devotional music is their specialty. Coming from a Hindu upbringing they are also acknowledge that music has no boundaries.
