Subsequently, he received training from Late Pannalal Samanta, Late Kanaidas Bairagi and Dr. Amiyoranjan Banerjee. Later he went under the tutelage of Guru Jnan Prakash Ghosh, the maestro and a legendary figure by all means, and one of the all time great Gurus ever born. Also, Ustad Munawar Ali Khan, son of the legendary singer Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Saheb, gave him the training of Patiala Kasoor Gharana.

Although he is a doyen of the Patiala-Kasoor gharana or style, he can equally portray the key features of all other major classical gharanas like- Jaipur, Agra, Kirana and Gwalior. This is solely because he was blessed to have close association with ITC Sangeet Research Academy and its resident great gurus of various other gharanas, like Ustad Latafat Hussain Khan (Agra), Pandit Nivruttibua Sarnaik (Alladiya Jaipur) and Smt Hirabai Barodekar (Kirana). Of late he has started exploring the Carnatic genre of Indian music from the living legend Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna, with whom he shares a close affinity since the last two decades.

He even received training from Late Chinmoy Lahiri, Angoor Bala Devi, Dhirendra Chandra Mitra, Suchitra Mitra, Maya Sen, Nirmalendu Chowdhury, Paresh Deb, Prativa Kapoor, Panchanan Bhattacharya, Chhabi Bandhopadhyay and many other stalwarts.

Despite being associated with so many gurus, Panditji considers Guru Jnan Prakash Ghosh and Baba Alauddin Khan as unique, so far the concept of Guru is concerned. This is not because of their immense musical genius, but of their altruistic contribution in the highest form of education – Humanilty.

Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty has a unique perspective about “Guruism”. He strongly believes, that a true musician should not cripple himself in the shackles of a gharana’s limit. He should embellish his presentations with the distinctive gems from different gharanas. Also, in course of his journey Panditji has grown with the treasured insight and vision intermingled with his academic virtues, that led him to realize that his Guru is not one, who has musically enlightened him directly, but everyone is his Guru in someway or the other. Everyone, even his students is worth being learned from- be the medium direct or even, indirect. Likewise, Guruji believes, that even though he has not taken any direct “taalim” from them, such Gurus have always been there to guide him and give their blessings. And they are eminent musicians like —– Pt. Ravi Shankar ji, Ali Akbar Khan Saheb, Ustad Vilayat Khan Saheb, Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Saheb, Pandit D.V. Paluskar ji, Ustad Amir Khan Saheb, Ustad Faiyaz Khan Saheb, Ustad Abdul Karim Khan Saheb, Ustad Zakir Hussain, Pandit Kishen Maharaj ji, Pandit Birju Maharaj ji, Ustad Ahmed Jaan Thirakwa, Lata Mangeshkar ji, Kishore Kumar ji, Manna Dey ji, Shree Manabendra Mukherjee, Shree Hemanta Mukherjee………….to name a few.

Apart from all the aforementioned Gurus Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty was blessed by Srimat Swami Premananda Tirthaswami even before he was born ! It was the legendary sage who predicted the musical genius hidden inside the would be born child and prophecised his accomplishments. Sri Sadananda Brahmachari Maharaj, the disciple of Srimat Swami Premananda Tirthaswami, was a lifelong friend, philosopher and guide to Panditji and today even after his demise, remains his spiritual Guru.
