                             "Yogitar"

A "String Yogi" or musician using a stringed 
instrument as a vehicle for Yoga.
Yogi  is a term for one who practices yoga.
The word Yoga , from the Sanskrit root yuj "to 
yoke", is translated as "union" or "integration", 
and may be understood as union with the Divine, 
or as "exertion, endeavor, concentration" in the 
sense of meditation.
The word "Tar" means "string" in Persian and 
also in Hindi.
This is claimed to be the root of the names of the 
Persian Se
tar, the Guitar, and the Indian Sitar.
