Edward Salim Michael
Edward Salim Michael was of Anglo-Indian descent and spent his childhood in the Middle East without formal schooling or a mother tongue.
In London, he learned reading, writing, and music, becoming an accomplished composer and violinist.
His first orchestral piece was performed at Albert Hall after just two years of study.
In 1949, encountering a Buddha statue sparked his meditation practice, which he pursued alongside his musical career.
