The Gandharva Veda Concert feedback has been overwhelming: ‘Brilliant’ ‘Best ever’, ‘absolutely superb’, ‘I transcended many times’ and despite the pouring rain there was a good attendance.
With sarod player Mayukh Gangopadhyay, tabla player Shreekalyan Chakraborty.
Gandharva Veda is a part of the Vedas and is called the Upa (subsidiary) Veda of Sama Veda and includes the treatise on music and the performing arts.
The Gandharva Veda is based on melodies called ragas. Each raga has its own structure, combining fixed elements with infinite variations. This allows the musician to express all the subtleties of the vibration prevailing at that particular time of day.
“Gandharva music…sets forth those very natural melodies which match with the process of evolution. It provides a powerful harmonizing influence in the whole atmosphere to balance imbalances in nature.”
“The goal of Gandharva-Veda concerts is the elimination of pollution, elimination of imbalances, elimination of negative tendencies, elimination of crime, quarrels, elimination of imbalance in the physiology, imbalance in the behavior. So, all betterment in every way. Better quality of life, better behavior, better health.” – Maharishi
