Only if I could pen it down while still watching the Saatvik Veena play. Guys, one could only say its wine to the ears and spirit to the soul .
This time it was organized by the students our tribal school- the most wonderful gathering one could expect. Shri Salil V.Bhatt was on Veena and accompanied by Shri Mahendra Dangi over Tabla.
Does greatness come from excellence or vice versa…? I over trying to solve this egg-chicken riddle while he patiently explained the basics of swar, raagas to attentive students there.The raag he played that day was raag ‘Nat Bhairav’, one of the morning raagas, hidden in the strings ready to create a cosmic commotion in all of us.
The story of creation, as is began again with the strings of the Veena. Its a pure rhythm, a spring of ‘nirmal jal’, a devine resonance. Once pulled a string, it resonated for around 15-20 seconds… could you believe that! It justifies its name. While he was playing it and doing that so well those are few moments when respect for ‘manhood’, for men reaches the zenith.. I had even started thinking that ‘only a Man could play so well’…
Hey, could say no less for the tabla, when it joined her, there was a shower of tunes. It was like the beatiful yearning of an angel , (determined to complete the cycle of creating) Veena , now had a duo to dance hand in hand. Both of them so fertile, so pure yet so free and totally in sync.. like God had a partner now.. 
Simply putting it, we pride in taking work as worship.Think of these patrons of art, for whom ‘worship is work’ because it sounded no less than worship; an additional prayer is just a formality.
mmmm .. Hope I could play it too.. Jus citing an incident, One day I was very off and low when i picked up a friend’s guitar and started playing it. First slowly and then fast, puttin in my own random tunes , wild at heart but focussed on strings. When i finally stopped ,after about 1/2 hour, I felt great relief, a calmness in me, a new me…
Moral …?If random plucks of a string cause so much positive vibration imagine the beauty of the conscious of such maestros- Its a life worthy dying for & worth living.
Gud job…nice one!
