INHERITANCE MADE ALIVE
            Deepak  Maharaj  development  as  a  maharaj is a continuation of the tradition that made his father his "guru" and teacher.  He began performing  in  his  teens, when he was   still   in   school,  and  presenting   some  of  his  own inventive performances.  His father was so happy with this development  that  he  announced  to  the  World  that  his 'Successor' would be his elder son Deepak.

             In  the early 90's Deepak maharaj had just settled down  and  his  father   started  withdrawing  slowly  from the scene.

               All  those who doubted whether the son would be able  to match his father were silenced by the sheer talent, rich presentation and  flamboyant  performance  of Deepak Maharaj.  Today,   Deepak   Maharaj   has  set  the  highest standards,     scaling     ever     new     heights.    But    his acknowledgement of the tradition represented by his father and other ancestors is ever present.  "Even in the way I call myself,  I  never  refer  to  myself  expect  as  DEEPAK,  to remind myself and others that there were always my elders before me, says the caring son
