I like to call the short stories in the "Kindness days", colourful snapshots of the imagination; small stories imbued with spirituality, emotion and love, accompanied by beautiful illustrations by artists from five continents and as many as 14 countries: Zimbabwe, Albania , Argentina, Palestine, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, Iran, Syria, Latvia, Poland, Ukraine, New Zealand and Guatemala.

Vedanta is not a religion. Vedanta is a philosophy, the Mother of all world philosophies and religions. The Bhagavad Gita is the most representative text of Vedanta, one of the most widely read books ever. We celebrate the teachings of the eminent philosopher Swami Parthasarathy (he is 96 years old) who founded the organization Vedanta Global, and who has authored numerous best sellers including Vedanta Treatise - The Eternities and the invaluable commentary on the Bhagavad Gita.

Articulate and Inarticulate sounds, music and worship, healing power of music. The new episode of The Cosmic Dancer Podcast.

Guests: Jayashankhar Krishnamurthy, Director of the Vedanta Institute of Hyderabad in India, who studied at the Vedanta Academy founded by Swami Parthasarathy;

Baluji Shrivastav, Indian/British musician and instrumentalist who plays a variety of traditional Indian instruments including the sitar, dilruba, surbahar, pakhavaj and tabla. In 2012, Shrivastav founded the Inner Vision Orchestra, comprising 14 blind musicians. The Inner Vision Orchestra was part funded by Arts Council England, the principal public funding body for the arts in England. In 2012, Shrivastav performed at the closing ceremony of the Paralympic Games alongside the British Paraorchestra and Coldplay. Shrivastav has performed and taught all over the world and has recorded a number of albums with a wide range of contemporary artists including Doves, Stevie Wonder, Massive Attack, BT, Annie Lennox, Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs, Guy Barker and Andy Sheppard. Shrivastav was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2016 Birthday Honours for services to music;

Ramana Balachandran, the 21-year-old prodigy from Bengaluru, is the son of Carnatic music practitioners Balachandhran and Sharanya. His talent for music was noticed when he was a toddler: with no formal training, he could identify ragas and point out nuances. In fact, he says his introduction to the veena came about when he found a mistake while his mother was playing the instrument.

“I say that the veena chose me and not the other way around. After that instance I started training in music intensely,” he says;

Rajam Shanker has over the past 4+ decades combined the unique qualities of erudition and experience, erudite in Carnatic classical music, its grammar and nuances, and the experience of employing the rich holistic legacy of its therapeutic qualities in Music Therapy.

"And sound is the subtlest of all idols because of its proximity to Brahman (God). It is considered the closest perceptible thing to Brahman because only a sense organ can contact it.

(A. Parthasarathy - Bhagavad Gita)

Indian mythology fiction novels. The new episode of the Cosmic Dancer podcast, involved renowned writer Chitra Divakaruni and Vedanta teacher S. A Shreedaran, a student of Swami Parthasarathy at the prestigious Vedanta Academy, and addressed the topic of Indian mythology and philosophy as a great source of inspiration for contemporary and highly successful Indian historical/fantasy novels, if we consider international best-selling authors such as her, Amish Tripathi and Ashwin Sanghi. Chitra later told us how she came to write the best-selling novel The Palace of Illusions, centered on the Indian epic text Mahabharata, but told from a totally new perspective, (that of a woman), and featuring refined prose.

Karma Yoga, compassion and clown therapy.

Guest: S.A.Sreedaran, Vedanta teacher in Dubai, founder of Mind and Intellect. He studied at the Vedanta Academy of the eminent philosopher Swami Parthasarathy.

Guest: David Engel, professional actor and experienced clown therapist.

"Karma yoga is the path of righteous action. The path that culminates in Self-unfoldment. That leads to realisation of the supreme state of human existence. If a person reaches the very end of this righteous path he gains the ultimate experience. But when he fails to complete this path, even then there can be no effort wasted nor can any adverse result accrue from it. Furthermore, even a little progress on this path protects him from fear. All human activities fall broadly under three categories: 1. Actions performed with selfish and egocentric desires. 2. Actions performed with unselfish desires. 3. Actions performed without desires. Karma yoga in its purest form falls under the third category. It envisages actions fully dedicated to Self-realisation, free from all desires and expectations. Actions performed with a perfect sense of detachment. A karma yogī commands enormous power and derives supreme happiness. He is rid of all fears that plague human existence. "(A. Parthasarathy)

"The profession of Therapeutic Clowning is an arts‐based practice typically in healthcare settings with children, adults or elders. It is designed to reduce stress, restore a sense of control and dignity, and celebrate the personhood of each individual regardless of their physical or cognitive limitations. Working in pairs using imaginative play, improvisation and music, the Therapeutic Clowns bring connectivity, lightness and joy in a place where sadness, trauma and boredom often reside. In most settings, they regularly partner with staff/clinicians as needed to provide playful diversion during medical procedures and aid various therapists to help clients achieve a better quality of life through directive or non-directive techniques. This is an evidence-based practice. The Therapeutic Clowns play a key role in bridging relationships between family members and their loved one. "

Vedanta, Bhagavad Gita and Marine Ecology. Focus on the sanskrit term Viśvatomukham (all-pervading nature of God), and the wonderful biodiversity of the sea. Guests: Jayashankar Krishnamurthy (Vedanta teacher) and Renée Carlton (Marine Ecologist).

"Viśvatomukham means ‘with faces on all sides’. A poetic expression used in the śāstras (scripture) to indicate the all-pervading nature of God. Anything all-pervading, like space, cannot have a form."

"He who recognises the supreme Self in the manifold beings is endowed with Jñānacakṣu, Eye of Wisdom. With this divine eye he perceives the Supreme."

(Bhagavad Gita - Swami Parthasarathy)

A senior disciple of Swami Parthasarathy, Jayashankar Krishnamurthy is a graduate of science from the University of Madras and a post graduate in Packaging Technology from Mumbai. He had a distinguished corporate career. Seeking answers to questions pertaining to life and living he sought the guidance of his guru and spent four years full-time in Vedanta Academy. For over a decade he has been researching and propagating the knowledge of Vedanta, in Andhra Pradesh, through Swamiji’s publications. He is the Executive Trustee of Vedanta Institute Hyderabad, a Charitable Trust registered in Telangana (Formerly Andhra Pradesh). https://www.vedantahyderabad.org/

Renée Carlton joined the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation team as a Marine Ecologist in May, 2016. Her role in the foundation includes writing up the final reports for the countries visited on the Global Reef Expedition and assisting with publication preparation of the data collected. Renée’s master’s research focused on the ability of seagrass beds to modify seawater chemistry to create more optimal conditions for corals to grow and possibly act as a refuge for corals in the face of climate change and increased ocean acidification. The foundation provides science-based solutions to protect and restore ocean health. https://www.livingoceansfoundation.org/

It was very inspiring to know and interview Gorazd Markovic of Markovic Design, a small Slovenian cajón producer, but with great talent and great passion. Art lover, beauty lover, Gorazd makes his creativity vibrate in every fold of the wood he works by hand to produce his cajón. Colorful and high quality products. Precious woods such as oak and mango constitute the production path that goes from the felling of the tree to the finished product, that is a Markovic Design branded cajón.

Gorazd donated to me a Woody Cajón, beautiful to look at and fun to play. Warm, round, mellow sounds characterize this instrument which, like other Cajón by Markovic Design, has the particularity of having the Switch function to pass from the classic drum sound, with kick and snare, to a typical African bongo sound.

A professional quality instrument, suitable for even the most demanding musicians that I am sure you will love.

Mya, Gorazd's sweet and self-confident daughter, gave me invaluable help in this interview, helping with the translation from Slovenian to English.

I wish Gorazd Markovic great successes, convinced that love, passion and the search for beauty in what you do are always rewarding.

Meaning of Om: between Vedanta and Handpan. Podcast interview with Master Vedanta Bhaskar Ramachandran and renowned handpan player Davide Swarup.

Meaning of Om.The word Om seems to have originated in the Mandukya Upanishad, part of a collection of ancient texts exploring the philosophical concepts of Hinduism. It is said that "Om is what has been, what is, and what will be." Om represents everything: the beginning, middle and end, the past, present and future. It encompasses all sounds: man, nature... it is the hum of the earth. OM is both a visual symbol and a sacred sound or mantra that can be heard and uttered. The syllable is composed of the three sounds 'A', 'U' and 'M' - AUM.

'A'. The 'ah' sound represents the beginning: the creation of the universe and all that it contains. It is said to symbolize the "conscious or waking state". Hindu tradition associates the sound with Brahma, the Creator. The sound originates in the belly and vibrates in the upper chest. Hold the tongue in the lower part of the mouth and spread the lips to create a feeling of openness.

'U' (a prolonged "oooh" sound). This sound indicates the stability that carries you forward and the energy that preserves and sustains you and the world. It is associated with the Hindu god, Vishnu - the Preserver. From the "A" sound, the lips begin to move together and the sound gradually progresses, rolling down the upper palate and vibrating in the throat.

'M' ("mmmm" sound). This represents the sound of closure and the beginning of the end and is associated with Shiva. Shiva is often known as the "destroyer," but also the force of culmination, completion, and finalization. When we form the sound, we move the tongue to the top of the mouth and bring the lips together to create a prolonged hum.

Between Vedanta philosophy and Handpan.

Bhaskar Ramachandran is an acclaimed exponent of the dynamic philosophy of Vedanta in the UK.

"And sound is the subtlest of all idols because of its proximity to Brahman (God). It is considered the closest perceptible thing to Brahman because only a sense organ can contact it. The word Brahman or sound Brahman serves as an idol to attain the ideal. 'To go beyond the word-Brahman' therefore means to attain Brahman.

Only by that previous practice, it is irresistibly borne. Even desiring to know yoga, it goes beyond śabdabrahma (word-Brahman)."

(A. Parthasarathy - Bhagavad Gita)

Handpan and soul.

It is often said that David Swarup is a "soul player." As one of the most highly regarded handpan musicians in the world, he inspires and sweeps the mind away from thoughts or mental mechanisms.

Listening to his melodies is a way to meditate. Davide himself plays in a meditative state, letting the music come to him, without ego or any kind of control interfering.

I like to call the short stories in the "Kindness days", colourful snapshots of the imagination; small stories imbued with spirituality, emotion and love.

PopuPiano Smart Portable Piano. Small Colorful LED Music Keyboard that makes making music really easy. 

 

Over the past few weeks, I have enjoyed exploring this exciting instrument . It is a small smart keyboard equipped with 29 bright and colorful LED keys plus a 6-key multi-function chord pad, which makes producing music really simple and cool. All arranged on four octaves selectable through the dedicated App .

Very comfortable to carry with you even in its practical and colorful bag, this little gem is compatible with the best professional music creation software . Whether you are totally alien to the world of music or rather experienced, the PopuPiano will lend itself to use by any audience. In addition, interactive in-app tutorials are available , (available both on the Android Play Store and the App Store), which will help us embark on or simply deepen our beautiful musical journey.

PopuPiano Smart Portable Piano will be launched worldwide in April on the Indiegogo website.

As a neophyte of the piano, but as an expert GarageBand user, I found it really useful and simple to interface the PopuPiano via Bluetooth with both Macs , smartphones and tablets. 

I also found the in-app teaching and LED visual guidance with real-time feedback to be very convenient. It helps to be nimble with your fingers. The guide also invites us step by step to learn to play, without ever taking away space for fun. The keyboard is also expandable and can be transformed into a classic E-keyboard . This little gem never ceases to surprise. This exciting and colorful instrument can surely become a bridge to connect the human visual instinct and the understanding of music.

Special mention, moreover, for the avalanche of free tutorials and hundreds of sounds of various musical instruments, present in the official PopuMusic APP for musical composition . Believe me, between one beat and another, your adrenaline will undergo a whirlwind surge.

Guessed is the idea of ​​the compact chord pad, which completes the PopuPiano. In addition to its small size , it is good to underline the fact that it helps to easily become familiar with the most used chords. In fact, they can be performed with the left hand, usually the laziest one, and progress quickly. 

People, what else to add, I found the PopuPiano really well done and then it's really Zen playing it in the dim light of my room. How nice to be pampered by the multicolored and bright whiteness of the keys. It is a welcoming, serene, reassuring technological experience. A real must for all music lovers.

Music and spirituality.

Music has transformed the most mundane and difficult moments of my life into deeply inspiring and often indescribably divine human experiences. The PopuPiano could definitely become one of my favorite instruments along with my beloved Ukulele ( Populele ) and Tongue Drum . This exciting and colorful instrument will certainly be able to act as a bridge, to connect the human visual instinct and the understanding of music.

The gift of music.

Whatever meaning you choose for spirituality, I believe there are direct correlations with each in the nature of music. Music is essential to human life and an integral part of our development as individuals and as a species. Like breathing, music has rhythm , tension and release. It could also be said that the sound of the breath or the waves of the ocean are musical expressions of life.

Bhaskar Ramachandran is an acclaimed exponent of the dynamic philosophy of Vedanta in the UK. He has dedicated his life to the study, teaching and advancement of the knowledge. Based in UK he is the managing trustee of the Vedanta Institute London.

Bhaskarji, as he is popularly known, is a senior disciple of the eminent philosopher A. Parthasarathy. After a promising career in the Merchant Navy he joined the 3-year residential course at the Vedanta Academy in India. Since graduating he has been studying and teaching Vedanta for over 25 years vedanta.org.uk.

The philosophy of Vedanta teaches the presence of divinity in every being: the real nature of man and the entire universe is divine. The purpose of human life is to develop and manifest this divine nature. The different religions in the world constitute many paths to that realization. Unity in diversity is the immortal theme of Vedanta.

What are Vasanas?

Vasanas are habits and patterns of thought. They can be ‘positive’ or ‘negative’ in nature; or it might be better to term them ‘healthy’ or ‘unhealthy’. Healthy vasanas are those habits and patterns of thought and behaviour that have a beneficial effect on the mind and body; which bring peace, harmony and balance. Examples might include a commitment to self-inquiry, study of the scriptures, meditation, yoga, good eating, the steady practice of karma yoga and the ability to question and reframe agitating thoughts. Unhealthy vasanas are those compulsions, addictions and self-destructive patterns of thought and behaviour that have a deleterious effect on the mind and body — of which there are too many to mention.

Mind management is an essential component of Vedanta because, as Krishna states in the Bhagavad Gita:

“Without a peaceful, stable mind, contemplation on the Self is impossible. When one lacks the ability to contemplate, there is no peace. Without peace, how can there be happiness?”

The mind is our primary instrument for transacting with the world. Just as a grime-covered miror cannot reflect the sunlight, a dull or agitated mind is an unfit receptacle for the liberating light of Self-knowledge. That’s why Vedanta repeatedly emphasises the necessity of a qualified mind.

In order for Self-knowledge to equate to liberation, the student’s mind must be reasonably tranquil, discerning, dispassionate and free from the relentless storm and stress of excess desire, aversion and attachment.
