Dear friend, This technique is been developed by my guru ji and we students of him are trying to follow this technique but still we couldn't able to do so in a perfect way. He is not only a master of bansuri but in some other instruments too and he is inventor too and now he is playing 10 and 11 holes of bansuri. He played some swar from the thumb of his feet too and that's why he is holding his bansuri in vertical position.So you can guess what expertise he has in his field.
Dear Surendra Kumar, HIGHLY DIVINE, VERY SPIRITUAL takes you close to GOD. You are very lucky to have a GURU JI LIKE UMA KANT PATHAK JI. Please upload some more Flute Tunes of your Guruji. My Pranams to GURU JI. Thanks for your detailed note with Tips from Guru Ji. I will reply to your note shortly. Thanks once again, Kind Regards, Dr. Kamath
@siddhartha25327 Hi Siddhartha, Yes I am learning Bansuri from my Guru Sri Uma Kant Pathak ji. Of course he is a wonderful player of the Bansuri but it is also true that he don't want to come on the lime light. He is a reserved nature person and that's why he is not allowing me to record his Bansuri playing. I can hope that in the future I can able to record more videos and put on this site.
I dont know the person who has uploaded this video...but I would like to say you thanks because Shri Pathak is my guru ji also.....Thanks again for sharing this video on youtube.. I would request if you have some more recordings of guru ji.. please share with us....... thanx
Saswata Bhattacharya Dear Saswata, I can't give contact no of my Guru Ji without obtaining his prior permission and more over I know that he is not interested to interact with the strangers. If you want to meet him personally then you have to come to IIT Kanpur. You can contact me on you tube if you are really interested in this meeting.
tooo gog sir..nic playing but i have diffrent type of it,,which you can play from starting of baansuri..not from side...please tell me how to play that type of baansuri
Once you perfect the Technic to play flute in this way then it is much easier way to play flute. More over my guru ji play some notes from the tow of his feet because his Basuri has total 11 holes (including blowing hole) so it is easy for him to play all the notes by this way.
He not playing for us or audience he is playing for god and himself and absorbed in himself , a thought for original composer of the song Sudhir Phadke ji
