  • A Strange and Wonderful Journey V
    COVER STORY BOMBAY JAYASHRI A strange and wonderful journey V. Ramnarayan ot perhaps since the days of Veena S. Balachandar has a leading Carnatic musician traversed a path as unusual. Bombay Jayashri was all of 28 Nwhen she began a truly full-fledged performing career in Carnatic music. Though introduced in early childhood to Carnatic music, thanks to both her parents being music teachers, she grew up in cosmopolitan Bombay, revelling in the singing of bhajan-s and film music at functions small and large all over Maharashtra and Gujarat, learning Hindustani classical music, ‘geet’, film songs, and a variety of ‘light music’ genres. Through childhood and college, she almost kept her training in Carnatic music a secret. She had a ball singing jingles in several languages extolling the wonderful attributes of Bournvita, Mealmaker and Rexona, solo or in duets. Throughout this period, she was also learning Carnatic music from the rigorous school of T.R. Balamani, a renowned teacher of Bombay, who also taught the likes of Shankar Mahadevan. She loved the film songs of Rafi, Lata and Asha, and continues unabashedly to do so, despite stardom in Carnatic music. Mehdi Hasan and Farida Khanum are equally her favourites. She attributes her pitch perfect voice to her training in Hindustani music and her soulful articulation to her eclectic musical background. Her assimilation of such a varied range of musical ideas has ensured the success of her theme-based albums like Vaatsalyam featuring lullabies, or Agni showcasing Subramania Bharati’s fiery lyrics. She Young Jayashri sees no conflict between her concert career and the film songs she has sung over the years.

    ARSHA VIDYA GURUKULAM 34th Anniversary Souvenir September 20, 2020 In Celebration of the 90th Jayanti of Pujya Sri Swami Dayananda Saraswati न िह ानने सश ं पिवऽम इ् ह िवते na hi jñānena sadṛśaṁ pavitram iha vidyate “In this word, there is indeed no purifier equivalent to knowledge” (Bhagavad Gītā, 4.38) Anniversary Message Swami Dayananda Saraswati In day-to-day life, you need a lot of grace. .That is the beauty of grace. You have to earn the grace of the guru. It may be easily available, but you have to earn it with śraddhā and bhakti. With śraddhā, in seeking knowledge you go through what is taught again. You need not write it down–keep it in your mind and ruminate over that. That is earning the guru’s grace. When the guru’s grace is there, the words of the śāstra he teaches become real to you. They become a reality. In fact, you become that reality. The guru’s grace will help you cross the distance between understanding and having the words. It is called lakṣya; that lakṣya is accomplished by guru’s grace. May all enjoy guru’s grace, Īśvara’s grace, śāstra’s grace, and one’s own grace. We all live in grace. We live upon grace. May the grace of all the sources of grace be with you all. Page Sponsored by Nalini and Prabhu Dev 3 4 Anniversary Message Swami Viditatmananda Saraswati We are happy that, with the support of the devotees, well-wishers and donors, we are able to celebrate this 34th anniversary of the Gurukulam in spite of the difficulties posed by the pandemic.
