Pandit Vedang Dharashive’s musical journey started by listening to the humming of devotional song sung by his mother in his childhood. This was the time when he fell in love with music. With the help of his maternal uncle, he started his formal training at his home and since then the process of gaining knowledge of music started.
He is trained under the guidance of Pt. Pandharinath Potdar guruji, Pt. Shantaram Chigri guruji, pt. Maruti Kurdikar ji & pt. Vasantrao Kadnekar buva from Goa who was the disciple of Pandit Ganpatrao Devaskar, Pandit Lakshaman Prasad Jaipurwale and Pandit Pratap Narayan ji who was elder brother of Pandit Jasraj ji. He had also spent nearly 3 years in Varanasi and learned classical vocal in depth. Then he came back to Goa and took admission in Kala Academy a very old & recognized institute for music and spent nearly 7 years in gaining his degree in music.
He was offered a job in the same institute and worked there for 10 years. Then he came to know about the requirement for music teachers in USA and he applied for the same & got selected among the many well known pundits in music field. He had to give up his Govt. job and he served their in one of the prestigious universities at Fairfield Iowa where he worked for 10years. He also visited many countries under the organization to teach and perform. During his visit to USA he also got the opportunity to worked for the Radio in North America as producer and host of musical shows in Seattle Washington state.
But his soil where he has lived for 30years was waiting for him, so he left from USA and came back to Maharashtra to spread the knowledge of music in people around him. A journey of 40 years in to music & now he is spreading the essence of classical singing in the rural area in the state Maharashtra where he was born and brought up just to promote classical music.
At present runs a Village Music Club Almala which works for propagation of Indian classical music through rural and urban areas through Music concerts & lecture demonstrations. Almost 75 per year to reach more people with this enormous ancient art of sound which is a precious gift to the humanity for all times to come.
He says experiencing the highest level of consciousness, through the waves of ultimate frequencies of sound (Vedic Music), which is fully awake within itself, the field of all possibilities, that infinite unbounded silence, unified field of total bliss, the glory of transcendental consciousness The supreme Sound (Nad Brahma). It is fortunate for the world that the vedic musicians of the generation have preserved the beautiful science and art of creating balance in nature through music. Vedic music is a precious discipline of vedic science, the complete science of life. It sends forth those powerful melodies and rhythms of nature to purify the atmosphere, there by neutralizing the stress in the environment and promoting the orderly evolution of life.
Indian classical music is the music of ancient civilization, which enjoyed heaven on earth. It is music that in alliance with natural law. It up holds the natural rhythms that prevail at different times throughout the day and night. The frequencies, melody and rhythm to restore balance and harmony in the mind, body, behaviour and environment. It is an eternal music of nature. Music is coherent frequencies some different, some the same, many values of frequency and coherence in sound makes a melody.
To neutralize the stress there has been knowledge in India, vedic knowledge from vedic times. This is science of knower, knowing and known. It is the science of subjectivity, objectivity and the relationship between subject and object. It is very fortunate that the Vedic Pandits have been preserving all of that enormously useful science and art of creating harmony in a situation of disharmony and discordance in the world consciousness.
He has planned to take these precious melodies to each and every creature of this planet, to propagate this enormous Indian Vedic wisdom to enjoy heaven on earth. Please join him in a movement for the great cause to contribute pure knowledge to generation to come. Visit the channel on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/MsVedang to know more. He is expressing his thoughts about music which came to his mind from years of practice.
He start his day with practicing music (voice) which is like practicing Yoga for him, since it is based on breathing it gives more oxygen to the body means more life to live. For him music helps to meditate through sound to realize that supreme power. He quotes ‘Music is the best friend of mine which would accompany me to the last breath of life.’ Music forces him to live meaningful life which goes through music to the self realisation. He feels he get less stress and release from anxiety when he practices music as for him music is a Saviour of his survival.
From years of practice he has come to conclusion that music is Ocean of seven notes and to understand one note, one life time is too short. Phenomenon, luminary, powerful, everlasting musical tones keep on vibrating around us till the existence of this planet. Music has that insight which guides him in the journey of life. Seven notes of music are extended family members of his family. Practicing Music is purpose and goal of his life. He also feels that music is the reason of his existence; it gives him joy, support, satisfaction and meaning to his life. Music leads him to experience the highest level of consciousness which is God consciousness.

विद्वानों ने माना है कि जो ध्वनियाँ निश्चित ताल और लय में होती हैं वहीं संगीत पैदा करती हैं। ध्वनियों के मोटे तौर पर दो प्रकार ‘आहत’ और ‘अनाहत’ ध्वनियाँ हैं. 'अनाहत' ध्वनियां संगीत के लिए उपयोगी नहीं होतीं, इनका अनुभव ध्यान की परावस्था में होता है अतः ‘आहत’ नाद से ही संगीत का जन्म होता है।🎻🌹
अभिज्ञान शाकुंतलम, कालिदास द्वारा लिखित नाटक, विश्व साहित्य की उत्कृष्ट कृतियों में से एक है। यह बेहद खूबसूरत शकुंतला और पराक्रमी राजा दुष्यंत की रोमांचक प्रेम कहानी है। भारत की महान प्राचीन काल परंपरा का दर्शन करनेवाली फिल्म शाकुंतलम लातूर(PVR) मे देखने का अवसर प्राप्त हुआ। फिल्म का रागोंपर अधारित पार्श्व संगीत बहोत ही मोहक था मात्र गितोंने निराश किया। डायरेक्टर गुनाशेखर ने 'बाहुबली' की तरह ग्रैंड सेट्स पर फिल्म बनाई है। 3डी में फिल्म को देखना शानदार अनुभव लगता है। वहीं इसकी सिनेमटोग्रफी भी लाजवाब है। सामंता रुथ और देव मोहन ने आपने रोल को बहोत शानदार तरिकेसे निभाया हैं।🌹🌹🌹
