It is a beautiful video. Thank you so much for this lecture demonstration. I am a Saamavedi and I am fortunate to get an opportunity to learn Saamagaana from my Guruji Pandit Vaman Shroutigal. At the same time I am a student of North Indian Classical(vocal) Music. I'm privileged to get training from Pandit Nihar Ranjan Banerjee for last 30 years. I think there has to be a correction made in this video. "Stobha"s are not at all anything even closer to "Alap" in classical music. They are integral part of the Saama itself. In the case of Alap we have a liberty to express ourselves according to our choice(staying within the grammar of the Raag). But, for "Stobha" no one can have that liberty. Thank you again....
I am blown by the amount of knowledge embedded here and in Indian Systems. I feel ashamed that I did not have any idea of this depth. Thanks so much for this presentation.
Wow so informative. It pains my heart to know that our thousands of years old Vedic tradition of singing is dying. We all should do whatever's possible to preserve it or it would be a big loss to not just Hindus but whole humanity.
@@johnlawrence2757 vedas aren't supposed to be "listened" but understood under the guidance of a Guru. I'm not economically independent to do that yet but I will do that one day for sure.
@@osiris1102 Maharishi was the last of the gurus. But like all before him in the oral tradition his handed-down teaching has been corrupted by money-makers. You either start now and put your faith in Almighty Nature to respond to your material needs, or you forget all about it and carry on being an institutional evader of truth till your departure from this world
@@johnlawrence2757 There's plenty of Gurus who are well versed and capable of imparting knowledge. Even if I receive 20% of the Vedic gyan I would consider myself lucky. But there's a proper time for everything in the world. I neither have time nor the resources to dedicate myself into such an important endeavour currently. I will surely dive into it soon. Do not be worried about that.
Wonderful way of Presentation about Music Of Sama Veda...First time learned about the Various details of Sama Veda chanting being a Sama Vedi myself a descendant of Appaya Dikshitar Lineage ...
@@subhadradesaimusic Sai Ram Subadhra ji. I have exposure and awareness of Jaiminiya shaka. But after listening to your lecture I am very keen to learn the Gana part of the Sama Veda which as I understand is a component of Kauthuma shaka. I am a vocalist trained in Carnatic and undergoing Hindustani training. Finally I would like to defer to your advice.
@@subhadradesaimusic i am very interested in finding a guru in bangalore. I dont know the shakas, but want to sing the brihat/rathantara sama. i am learning yajurveda/rig veda now. please any help appreciated in direction
Women are not supposed to learn the Vedas. Listen to it, but don't recite. Yeah, I know women hate this fact, but that's the injunction of the scriptures.
@@Krsna927 what nonsense, In the great debate between Adi Sankara and Mandana Mishra, mandana mishra's wife was a scholar beyond par who facilitated the debate it is prakriti before purusha in the vedas, they not only can learn, but also excel
A lot depends on how our academic fraternity and the society on the whole want to perceive the situation and handle it. The stare govts could perhaps help and of course the Central govt. Its sad that our rich heritage is not always preserved the way it ought to be.
i spent time on this and found few things. First i thought, we can encourage kids to learn this by throwing carrots like fame and money (50 lakhs for dedicated study for 16 years). What i found is that some folks are interested in learning the "prayoga" or ritual part of vedas for their livelihood. Some learn vedas in depth for satisfaction but very less. The young crowd is not interested to take a deep dive. It is not even the money or recognition that is the problem. The problem from parents and young gen is that they dont get brides to marry. Most brides who have studied sslc or more, dont want to marry a vedic person or a cook or the ones who do traditional work (applies to other arts as well). This is true even if the bridegroom has quite a bit of money. It is the stigma of of "old age/hale kala/purana zaama ka ladka". I gave up as there was not much i could do to solve this. We want good things to sustain, but we want our sons/daughters to be (or marry) software engineers or doctors. very few give their sons/daughters for this type of lifestyle. why blame others, when we are the reason ourselves.
@@shivprasadjoshi5280 Good information. Every abrahamic religion is inspired from a planetary diety esoterically like Jewish- Saturn, Islam- Venus, Christianity- Jupiter
Veda is for all.. irrespective of caste or sex.If you think some one is not eligible to sing saama pl provide details of the veda manthra that says so and so person is not to sing .
Sir, first, the word is NOT Vedaa. It is Veda. The pronunciation of Komal Nishaad is NOT 'Komala Nishaada'. That is how it is pronounced in Hindi. I have studied Sanskrit and Hindustani Music very deeply and have great reverence for both. Please comment with correct knowledge
