I have planned to take these precious melodies to each creature of this planate, to propagate this enormous Indian Vedic wisdom to enjoy heaven on earth. Please join the movement for the great cause to contribute pure knowledge to generation to come. I have an idea that Gandharva Veda music should reach first to rural and urban India then rest of the world. We can establish an organization with the group of founder members. I appeal to all musicians and music lovers to come forward and join the movement. No one has to contribute financially in this, only one best thing one can do is to organize the concert (with lecture demonstration) in your place, where you live, do not have to spend money on that, if it is not commercial also it would work. Please come forward and do in what way you can. This is the way we can reach more people with this ancient knowledge; more people will get to know the importance of this precious art form. Some new local talent will get opportunity to show their talent. You can come up with your suggestions if you have one. If you are interested, send your details to my e-mail, so I can include you as a member. Let us work together to energize the Indian classical music.
Interested people please contact me on my e-mail.

Gandharva Ved.
It is an eternal music of nature. Music is coherent frequencies some different, some the the same, many values of frequency or sound- makes a melody. The whole universe all the infinite number of items in the universe, are all different frequencies or sounds, and there is a swing of bliss everywhere in nature. Think of the earth moving around the sun or the many galaxies and starts all moving, but always with the same motion. It must be a very great satisfaction for the nature of the earth and of the entire starry world just to follow a particular path and never deviate. One would follow that pattern only if it is blissful.
The element of bliss, of more and more, must be nature’s activity. It must belong to nature’s habit to move in waves of bliss. The eternal harmony of nature must be pattern of bliss-the whole of nature always swinging in the waves of bliss. This comes as the passage of evolution, which means more and more and more knowledge, more happiness more progress. The melody of nature eternally the same going on and on and on in swings of bliss everywhere. Those rhythms, which are being maintained at all times. Due to the maintenance of all those rhythms, the infinite variety of creation is very well co-ordinated by natural law. When the people of the world violate the laws of nature, population of the world has not been educated to think and act spontaneously according to natural law. Cries and failures and problems, terrorism and war-all these negative values spring from the violation of natural law by the whole population of the world.
To neutralize this stress there has been knowledge from Vedic times. The Vedic civilization was that civilization, which enjoyed heaven on earth, which means that life, was lived according to natural law.Gandharva music, is a most refined evaluation of the sound value, the frequency ultimately; it is the self –referral dynamics of consciousness, which is infinite frequency. Infinite frequency is on the level of the unified field of naturallaw, which Vedic science calls the samhita of Rishi, Devata and chhandas.
We express thanks to our tradition of masters, who have given us this insight to the activity of nature and this gift of Gandharva music to create harmony in nature.Gandharva music is a precious gift for the whole world and for all times.

God of the Valley.
God of the valley.
It was summer of 1985, vacation time from music school. Being a student of music, wanted to utilize the vacation time for good practice and bring out good result in music. Planned to choose lonely and quite place for riyaz (practice).Kapil Dhar near Beed in Maharashtra.It is great green valley with waterfall, very calm,serene,extended far down deep, beautiful creation of nature,very much natural world around,mostely undisturbed by human being.Pleasent scenery,spectacuiar view, great experience to enjoy the the nature.
Shri Manmath Swami One of the great saints of Maharashtra.Spend his whole life in the valley to do tapascharya (years of meditation} and emerged as a God of the valley. No one staying in the valley except Pujariji and one more person follower of the Swamiji.Any way I reached the destination with my baggag.Checked with pujariji that I am going to stay for two months and if you could provide the food and I will pay for that. He agreed. My goal was to work very hard on music, I was young, determined, well focused, not to west single second at any cost. To become an artist or musician is not an essay deal, requires hard work, dedication, concentration, sacrifice, one has to stay away from every thing at least for ten years of studentship and I guess rest of your life, to be creative one has to be in your own world, still you have to be a member of the society. Cannot be a Baiju Bawara in modern days.
My day use to start early morning four o clock to end by eleven-pm.No rest in between, only meal breaks. Using different spot for different day was giving satisfaction for practice. That is how every object of the valley was getting familiar to my music.
I had a good session for two months. It was like performing aaradhana (of swara) before the God of the valley.

Radio.
Radio aapana.
I was conducting music classes at Renton (WA) Gurudwara on weekends. One of the Sundays I was teaching students,Gyani ji came to me and said our group of musician has gone to some other place to perform, they were suppose to be back in time but they are late. Please you come and accompany us on the Tabla on the stage. I did because no to Ganyji was not appropriate and it was special ceremony going on in the Gurudwara.
After the concert one gentle man came to me and introduced him self saying I am doctor and we run a radio station in USA & Canada, it is 24 hours 7 days week radio. We need you to host musical program, I said I am busy with my activities and there is hardly some time I could spare. Anyhow, I managed to spare weekly thrice tow hours a day programs were in Hindi, Panjabi and English.
My first day on radio I was suppose to host program in Panjabi for an hour.
My lines were….Radio aapna sunne wale sare srotyanu saadda namaskar,satshriaakal te aadab.Tusi sunne ja rahe ho panjabi geetanda program vedang de naal,hun to leke 9 baje tak. karaykram da sabato pahela geet sundehan Hansrajhans de aawaj de wich,geeet de bol han…. so and so……I was not good at panjabi,never tried in India but I became a host on the radio, day by day I was Improving. Hosting shows in Hindi and English was not a problem. Programs in Hindi were of Ghazals, Classical and film songs. In between live news from India in Hindi and Panjabi on the phone connected to radio. Advertisement from Indian, Pakistani, Fijian, Shrilankan and American business. All together great fun. Recording advertisement of movies, restaurants, special events, religious activities and all different businesses was great experience. Phone in programs, live interviews with experts.
Some programs were to play music of my choice, listening to good music comparing at the same time, if you understand the music then you can explain better, about the composer and singer as well, to the audience. Once you are away from your country then you look and search for your own things and you appreciate it more. That is why radio was close to every Indians hart; they use to love the radio aapana.

Classical music TV show.
Shankar Mahadevan.
I am sure name is well known for all the music lovers. Great musician in the Bollywood with the perfect touch of Indian melody. He is so versatile, well rounded to sing any kind of music. I was surprised to see him performing raga Hansdhvani with great command on notes as a classical music concert with Bhajan in Marathi (by Pt.Bhimsen Joshi) the best thing is, his most of the compositions have classical touch though it has western rhythm. His live performances with Zakir Hussian are extraordinary. Real musician will never give up the essence of the genuine artistic and musical things though they are in commercial music field. At present, he is the only guy in Bollywood who represents the great Indian melody with sincerity, affection and respect towards it. The thing is we get exposure to music that media and music companies are forcing on us on and on, it is kind of hammering, after hearing, many times, it sounds great to our ear. Now we could not appreciate classical music because we do not get to hear often. Most of the countries they have separate channels for classical but we do not have one. Shankar should come up with classical album; it will sell in millions, which will be great exposure to the classical music. Any way still he is doing great job.

Review on album Piya Bawari.
One of the best classical fusions I have ever heard. Great voice of Pt. Ajay ji and what a music score, it is simply perfect, melodious by Abhijit.It is great introduction for younger audience on all music channels, they got the test of classical music.Now days do not get to listen any classical music on music channels, at least because of fusion it would be the best encouragement for classical, afterwards there are more albums coming in the market by different artists. Some musical shows are there on different channels that are some kind of help for classical music, unless you will learn some basics of classical, then and then only you will able to sing. We need this kind of albums more in the market.I hope the days will be back of swami Haridas, Miya Tansen & Baiju Bavara.It will not go away so easily, for thousands of years it has been preserved, and it will last long as the planate is alive.

Review on Jalasa.
I heard Hans Raj Hans first time when I was working for Radio in USA as a host. That is Indian Radio station at Seattle Washington by name Radio Aapana Sangeet.I use to play his songs on the radio all the time. That is how I know his music. He is great singer, has a classical base so he can sing any thing. He is very good at Panjabi folk. Today in Jalasa, he was good but I felt he had a problem with hitting higher notes. Does not matter he handled it very well. Over all his performance was very good.
I would like to congratulate IMA(Indian Music Academy) for energizing Indian classical music. I hope that in future it should go for 24 hours classical music channel on the TV.
Please keep on doing good work.

It was appourtinuty to experience the inner silence the total bliss with the world community. Being an Indian never gave the thought to the age-old technique of meditation. May be the level of ignorance is quite high, that kept away many Indians from their own wisdom. The great ancient science still it is valid with its great acence in modern era.Offring the best of meditation technic,yoga,Ayurveda and Gandharva veda.Thanks to spiritual leaders of India for preserving and propagating the precious knowledge to the whole human race. I had a chance to join the Worldwide Transcendental meditation movement as part of my musical activity. Traveled to USA in 1995, that was first journey of spirituality through western eyes. However, there was big burden of curiosity about western world on back corner of mind. Landed on JFK international in the evening.Cordinater of the meditation movement drove to NewJercy.Stayed in Berkeley kart ret Hotel (five star} owned by the movement.
One of the best spots just by the ocean, such a fulfilling view from the luxurious hotel room to look upon. Such a pleasant feeling to stay at hotel surrounded by meditater and spiritual people, it was very different world. The philosophy part was very new. Highly intellectual angle to look at. Such a great surprise to know that these Americans are so serious about this Indian ancient knowledge, Practicing for last 40years,and getting great result from that,enjoing the highest level of concesness.They understood the importance of the silence within, the secret of all creation.
That Indian classical music is part of Vedic science, being a musician all the time my job was to perform music for the meditators, Churches, Temples, different universities, schools, radio and TV. Taught music in one of the universities (MUM) at Fairfield Iowa state for many years. Their way of listening to music as a Gandharva Veda and the philosophy behind the Vedic knowledge was very deep and pure. So far I had developed performance-oriented approach towards music but had opportunity to experience the real aspect of gandharva Veda, just being in this community. All credit goes to His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, what a great contribution he gave to this Indian wisdom to share with world citizens.Milloins of people is enjoying around the globe. Thousands of Indian doctors (Ayurvedic), Pandit boys (to chant mantras), jotish pandits, classical musicians to teach and perform around the globe. Too many Indian people are traveling around the world.Mostely westerners are involved in the organizetation.Every one is working for the betterment of global society. To harmonize the differences between communities, to reduce the stress in the environment, to bring peace in the world.
In spirituality, India is Guru of the whole world. No other nation has this kind of knowledge to offer. Meditation is scientifically proved technic.Every day if you practice for 15 minutes morning and evening. In this modern age, we do not have time to seat in Himalaya for 12 years stretch. But any way it is working just for 15 minutes and the results are so good, one can pull up to 100 years to live healthy life. After good practice of meditation for many years, awakening of one self within is possible, the self-realization.To experience the highest level of conciseness fully awake within, field of all possibilities.
Then on wards, one could get mastery on every thing, whatever subject it may be. Clear mind with clear thought would fulfill all the demands in life that is for meditation is. It helps in all the way physically and mentally to successful life style and achieve the ultimate goal in life. This is Indian pure knowledge of yoga great gift of yogi to the human race eternally.
