Pandit Shri Hari Om Sharma– A saga of Music, Arts and Cultural Integrity
Pandit Shri Hari Om Sharma ji has spent over five decades shaping the cultural and educational landscape of Ghaziabad and beyond the borders of nation. As the Adhyaksha of Sanskar Bharti Ghaziabad, he has played a vital role in nurturing traditional Indian art, music, and literature through a combination of grassroots leadership and hands-on mentorship.
Born with a natural affinity for the arts, Pandit Shri Hari Om Sharma ji has built his life around classical music, Sanatan values, and teaching. His early association with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) gave him a strong foundation in discipline and nation-first thinking, which later guided his work in music and education.
Decades of Teaching Rooted in Indian Knowledge Systems
For many years, he served as Head of Department at Sanatan Dharma Inter College in Ghaziabad, where he taught music, Hindi, Sanskrit, and history. His classroom was never just a space for textbook learning—it was where generations of students were introduced to Indian heritage in a living, breathing form.
His teaching style blended structure with intuition, theory with practice. Many of his students recall not just lessons, but stories, shlokas, and raga-based teachings that left a lifelong impression.
Sangeet Kala Niketan – A Living School of Sound
Perhaps one of his most enduring contributions is Sangeet Kala Niketan, the music institute he founded and continues to run for over 35 years. Located in Ghaziabad, this school has trained hundreds of students in Indian classical vocal and instrumental music.
What makes the institute stand out is Pandit Shri Hari Om Sharma ji’s approach—rooted in guru-shishya parampara, yet adaptive to evolving learning styles. Whether it’s tabla, harmonium, sitar, or even Western instruments, he imparts a nuanced understanding of musical emotion, discipline, and cultural context.
More Than a Musician – A Holistic Cultural Personality
Beyond music and education, Pandit Shri Hari Om Sharma ji is also a former state-level hockey player, reflecting a life where mental and physical discipline go hand in hand. His personality is not limited to one domain—he is also known for his deep philosophical understanding of Indian traditions.
During his college days, he penned a reflective article about his life’s purpose and principles, capturing a rare blend of introspection, cultural pride, and personal philosophy.
