"Truth." That was Sadashiv's answer to, "What does your show offer?"

He is one of KVMR's original founders with 22 years involvement. His list of musicians, philosophers and writers who have impacted him yields a list as

eclectic as Sadashiv himself: Buddha, Karmapa, Babaji, Yogananda, Wavy Gravy, plus The Founding Fathers.

But does Ben & Jerry have an ice cream flavor called Buddha? Or The Founding Fathers? Obviously Sadashiv knows something B&J have missed. He compendiously elaborates on what inspired him to do the show: "Life, and passion for it."

But wait, there's more (also succinct)! By his own biographical reckoning: "I'm here, and I'm very alive. I've been on this planet almost 60 years. I've traveled, been an actor (on- and off-stage), conferred with gurus, and been ne. I'm an artist and a rebel and always will be. I have no bosses and never will have."

He may have overstated that "no bosses" thing. By his own admission he labors under one of the most brutal, unwavering task-masters ever known: "Truth."

"But," he says, "Truth is, it doesn't toss me, it is me."
