Primarily, the word Guru means a 'teacher' and as such it is a universal concept based on the idea of transmitting knowledge from a person, who knows something, to a student or a disciple. In an extended view, a Guru can also be a priest, a master, a school teacher, even a father or a mother. Guru does not mean a teacher imparting formal training but a person who contributes to the overall development and learning of an individual. The syllable ‘Gu’ means darkness & the syllable ‘Ru’means he who dispels it. Hence Guru is one, who has the power to dispel darkness. Guru transforms his disciple through his presence and spiritual knowledge. Musical knowledge cannot be attained completely by reading books. But for obtaining complete musical knowledge Guru’s presence is a must. Only when there is a strong bond between Guru and Shishya can musical knowledge be imparted. It is impossible to get any knowledge without a Guru. From the 3 Guru-Shishya tradition in the past, the Guru has been given the place of God, which continues till today. It is very important to pay homage to the Guru with a calm mind, to be able to absorb the knowledge given by the Guru with full concentration and dedication required especially for the art of music. GururBrahma GururVishnu GururDevo Maheshwaraha| Guru Saakshaat ParaBrahma Tasmai Sri Gurave Namaha || Meaning of Shlok : GururBrahma - Guru is the Creator (Brahma), GururVishnu - Guru is the Preserver (Vishnu), GururDevo Maheshwaraha - GuruDeva is Destroyer (Maheshwara) Guru Saakshaat ParaBrahma - Guru is the absolute (singular) Lord himself Tasmai Sri Gurave Namaha - Salutations to that Sri Guru Meaning of Words : Guru: Dispeller of Darkness/Teacher Brahma: Creator; Personification of Creating Quality of God Vishnu: Preserver; Personification of Preserving quality of God Deva: God Maheshwara: Destroyer; Personification of Destroying Quality of God Saakshaat: Self/ Himself ParaBrahma: He who is the highest Lord; Consciousness Tasmai: To him/ To such Sri: Holy, splendorous Namaha: Salutations 4 SARASWATI VANDANA Importance of Saraswari Vandana : Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge, music, art, speech, wisdom, and learning.[ She is the mother of the Vedas, and chants directed to her are called the 'Saraswati Vandana’ Vedic lessons also often begin & end with this. As she is believed to be the goddess of music and knowledge, it is important to grace her with the saraswati Vandana before embarking on any journey of knowledge. Ya Kundendu Tusharahara Dhavala Ya Shubhra Vastravrita। Ya Veena Varadanda Manditakara Ya Shveta Padmasana॥ Ya Brahmachyuta Shankara Prabhritibhir Devaih Sada Pujita। Sa Mam Pattu Saravatee Bhagavatee Nihshesha Jadyapaha॥ Meaning of Saraswati Vandana : Let us try to understand the meaning of the saraswati Vandana. May Goddess Saraswati, who is fair like Jasmine colored moon and whose pure white garland is like frosty dew drops, who is wearing radiant white clothes and on whose beautiful palm and arm rests the Veena, whose throne 5 is in the white lotus, and who is surrounded and respected by Gods including Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Mahesh, protect me. I plead her to totally remove my inertia and sluggishness. Meaning of words : Ya – Who; Kund – White Jasmine flower; Indu – moon; Tushar – frost, dew; Hara – Garland; Dhavala – White and pure; Shubhra – White and radiant; Vastra – Clothes; Avruta – adorned with; Veena – Veena; Var – beautiful; Danda – arm; Mandit – adorn; Kara – palm; Shwet – White; Padmasana – Lotus throne; Brahma – Brahma; Achyut – Lord Vishnu; Shankar – Lord Shankara; Prabhritibhi – beginning from; Devaih – by the lords; Sada – always; Vandita – respected; Sa – she(that); Mam – Me; Patu – protect; Saraswati – saraswati; Bhagavatee – Goddess; Nihshesha – without any remnant; Jadya – inertia; Apaha – remove; 6 Lesson 2 GHARANAS IN INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC Gharanas in Indian classical music is an age old tradition and is based on the Guru-Shishya Parampara. The master or Guru invents his/her own unique style of singing which is passed down to the student’s generation after generation & eventually results in the formation of a Gharana. In other words, a Gharana refers to a particular style of singing. In the older times, everything, including art was pretty much localized. People living in one particular region had no idea of what was happening in another region. So the style of singing in a particular place remained confined to that region & didn’t travel. As a result, all the Gharanas got their names from the places they originated in. There are 10 major Gharanas in Hindustani classical music 1) Gwalior Gharana 2) Agra Gharana 3) Kirana Gharana 4) Bhendi Bazaar Gharana 5) Jaipur - Atrauli Gharana 6) Patiala/Punjab Gharana 7) Rampur-Sahaswan Gharana 8) Indore Gharana 9) Mewati Gharana 10) Sham Chaurasia Gharana 7 1.

Sangita-ratnakara by Sarangadeva About Archives January 2016 October 2015 September 2015 August 2015 July 2015 June 2015 May 2015 April 2015 February 2015 January 2014 December 2013 Sarangadeva’s Sangita-ratnakara (first half of 13th century) is of particular importance, because it was written November 2013 just before influence of the Muslim conquest began to assert itself on Indian culture. The Music discussed in Sangita-ratnakara is free from Persian influence. Sangita-ratnakara therefore marks the stage at which the October 2013 ‘integrated’ Music of India was before it branched into North-South Music traditions. October 2012 It is clear that by the time of Sarangadeva, the Music of India had moved far away from Marga or Gandharva, as September 2012 also from the system based on Jatis (class of melodies) and two parent scales. By his time, many new August 2012 conventions had entered into the main stream; and the concept of Ragas that had taken firm roots was wielding considerable authority. Sarangadeva brought together various strands of the past music traditions, defined almost 267 Ragas, established a sound theoretical basis for music and provided a model for the later Categories musicology (Samgita Shastra). Abhinavagupta (3) Sarangadeva’s emphasis was on the ever changing nature of music, the expanding role of regional (Desi) Agama (6) influences on it, and the increasing complexity of musical material that needed to be systemised time and again.
