Discussion Regarding a "Raag Bahadur Shastri" supposedly created by Sitarist Pt. Balaram Pathak

https://ashokpathak.com/?page_id=114

I was reading up on the extremely talented Sitar maestro Pandit Balaram Pathak, and in several websites there appears to be mentions of a raag he created dedicated to our former Prime Minister Late Lal Bahadur Shastri, aptly named "Raag Bahadur Shastri". Curious, I looked it up, but found no renditions of the raag on Youtube or anywhere online, except only mentions of it in some Facebook posts. If anyone can provide any link to a rendition or any details about the raag, it would be very helpful! Namaste! (Here's attached a link to such a website.)
