Out of this world........way, way out........takes one to the surreal.......soothes the mind & soul like only music like this can.........simply awesome !!....and the Bansuri, truly is the musical instrument of the Gods........nothing else comes even close.
There may not be enough adjectives in my vocabulary to praise this incorporeal serene mastery, awesome!!! it generates such an awe that makes you wonder about whether Heaven can be more soulful than this....?
Dear bansuriflute You give me so much peace. I am a scientist working in Vienna Austria and get back to your recitals when I am stuck with some scientific questions..and It works like medicine..Long live your tribe. Long live Indian classical music.
Bansuri music is celestial sound par excellence. The Narsinh Mehta hymn made Gandhiji feel closer to divinity, and your rendition is doing the same for us. Thank you.
@bansuriflute this is what i love about the internet a person can find advice on just about anything or help another find there way this is the best aspect of global village this enriches many peoples lives peace blessings and knowledge to all
Flute is a metaphor. It has 9 holes (6 for playing, 1 for blowing, 1 to create the sound and one at the bottom). It represents the human body with 9 openings or what the scriptures describe as the city of 9 gates. God blows prana into this body and all we accomplish with our mortal bodies is what the Lord wishes. Considering karma, all we really do is dance to the Lord's tune in our life. So I reckon Flute suites rather aptly to Krishna. There are so many more beautiful metaphors in his stories!
Beautiful Flute, an excellent rendering of Raga Mishra Khamaj with an ideallyic lyric of Mr Narsinh Mehta,"Vaishnav Janto Tene Kahiye" by Ms. M.S. Subbulakshmi Iyer of the Karnataka School! It is a treat from all angles!
I have my story 2 share abt flute...I used to watch my friend play it and charm everyone for over 17 -18 years we spend together...then on a trip to Sikkim i found a tourist shop which was selling everything and a FLUTE too. but.just 1.i was told that it was not a good flute and did not find a buyer for years..i tried to ask the cost and the shopkeeper said he would willingly part it for FREE !..finally i bought my first G scale flute for Rs 35..It was later assessed as remarkably PERFECT..
@taazen74 hi there i too play the whistle and irish flute both the shakuhachi and bansuri are very hard to learn and i can understand why you wish to learn them because of the meditative nature of the instruments however have you tried the alto whistles or low whistles in d or g if you get a good quality make like overton there is great potential to make beautiful medative sound
Hi, forgive me if I am not authorized to reply here. I started learning flute at a very later stage. From my own experience - just play it .. play it. and play it. This is God's own instrument and does not come so easily. Just play it .. with your heart and soul. When your brain will make a sync. between your heart, blowing and your finger the beautiful note is not far away... :) Good luck friend.
hi bansuriflute. im just curious on whether you play the flute and upload the videos of yourself or is this someone you know or is it someone else famous that you just upload the videos of? THANK YOU
@omarshinken Thankyou and peace be upon you. I have a low D whistle (Chieftain V3), and it sounds verry nice. Also have a Zen-On, Bressan, alt recorder. Its customized by Lee Collins, and i just love that recorder. Its plastic, but its well tuned and has a beautiful voicing. The block surface is with red cedar that makes a softer sound, i think.
Beautiful...Im playing whistle and recorder, but now i want to go into meditativ playing. Im struggling to choose between the Japanese "Shakuhachi" and Indian "Bansuri" flute. Maybe i have to try both. What is the originale tone(A,G,D)on the Basuri? What is to prefere in mediativ playing?
can u please provide some more info on types of bansuri please. i bought a g# and i hate it when i try to immitate and it sounds offtune. i saw no. on flutes in the shop. 1- longest 1.5 lil smaller 2 smaller etc does it have anything to do with tuning too? where can i learn more about types please?
bansuriflute i dont meen to waste your time but can you please help me do you know where i can buy the flute that you play in your videos like these i would love to learn how to play this music,
वैष्णव जन तो तेने कहिये जे पीड़ा पराई जाने रे पर दुख्खे उपकार करे तोये मन अभिमान न आने रे सकल लोक मान सहने वन्दे निंदा न करे केनी रे वाच काछ मन निश्छल राखे धन धन जननी तेनी रे सम दृष्टि ने तृष्णा त्यागी पर स्त्री जेने मात रे जिव्हा थकी असत्य न बोले पर धन नव झाली हाथ रे मोह माया व्यापे नहीं जेने दृढ वैराग्य जेना मन मान रे राम नाम शून ताली लागी सकल तीरथ तेना तन मान रे वन लोभी ने कपट रहित छे काम क्रोध निवार्य रे कुल एकोतेर तार्य रे
@bansuriflute @bansuriflute Should the bansuri in E be made out specific wood? Does it make a real difference or is it just tradition to have it made out of that special wood from India? I currently play 9flutes & the Bansuri is calling me...so I need some guidance I've been to your site but your Bansuris are much to expensive for me...
amazing flute skills, I also play the bamboo flute - I was wondering if I could have a chat or interview with you to find out more about your skills and background. Thanks!
I have a few questions, how many Rags are there and is that a set number or do people write new rags all the time? And is it the same Rags all over undivided India? Even places like Afghanistan and Nepal? I am thinking Bhutan and places like Sikkim probably have their own.
Yeah, it is portable! Haha. You can go everywhere with it -- to the meadows, to the woods. I imagine you can easily walk with it and dance with it. That could be challenging with other instruments.
