Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar wrote Sangeet Bal Prakash, a three-volume book on music:
Paluskar was a Hindustani classical musician and musicologist who is considered to have brought respect to the profession of classical musicians. He also wrote 18 volumes on ragas. Some of his other contributions include:
- Founding the Gandharva Mahavidyalaya in 1901

- Composing lyrics in praise of gods and virtues
Paluskar was born in 1872 in Kurundwad, a small town in the Deccan division of Bombay Presidency. He lost his eyesight in childhood after a firecracker burst near his face during a Hindu festival. He later regained his eyesight and learned music under the tutelage of Pt. Balkrishna Bua Icalkaranjikar.
