The ‘Why’ of Indian Traditions – pronunciation of “OM”

Scientific Reason behind pronunciation of “OM”

Pronunciation of “OM” in proper way helps in inhaling maximum oxygen in body which is benfitial for Body and Mind. “Om” the core of Indian culture, the sound of universe.

Blowing the Conch(“SHANKHAM”) is good for Lungs & makes them strong.

Gayatri mantra if practiced regularly and with proper way can do wonders. Gayatri mantra is a purely scientific thing. The words in the Gayatri mantra produce 24 kinds of vibration which has effect on the 24 glands of our body.

The ‘Why’ of Indian Traditions – Namaskar salutation

Since ancient times there has been a tradition of holding one’s hands together in prayer. In India, this gesture is known as Namaskar and is offered as a gesture of salutation.

There are many names for this particular gesture or salutation – Naman,Namaste, Pranpiat, Pranam, Namo Namah.
All these terms convey honour and humility.

The most common way of offering Namaskar is by joining the palms at the level of the heart, to show we are sincere. When we touch our heart, countless good vibrations pass through our finger tips in the form of radiance to the other person. This beautiful touching gesture can help turn an enemy into a friend, and also aids us to eliminate our egos, and encourages humility and other virtuous practises.

The Namaskar gesture, when offered with humility, melts away differences and enmity between people. It is said in the Hindu Scriptures, that the right side of our body represents Shiva or Brahman and the left side represents Shakti or Maya. The five fingers represent the five all-pervading elements : earth, water, fire, air, and ether. When all five powers of Shiva and the five powers of Shakti unite, Namaskar is formed.

Every kind of union manifests a creative power. The meeting place
of two rivers or of a river as it meets with the ocean; the union
of a man and woman, or the point when day merges into night and of course, when seasons merge into one another. Each creates energy.
Energy manifests in many ways. Even when we clap our hands at a concert or a show, energy or power is formed.

The tradition of Namaskar in its many different forms, has existed
since the days of the Vedas. It’s such a simple gesture and helps
spread love among all.

Strangely people in our country dont practice it much now !!

The ‘Why’ of Indian Traditions – Indian school punishments

Remember the ‘good’ old Indian school punishments? Holding the earlobes with arms crossed over your chests, bending the knees and then sit and then stand and so on till the time Masterji is saying?

This form of punishment has been in practice in our country since the Gurukul time and was given to the students who were weak in studies.
Talking about the logic behind this punishment, it is very interesting to know that this particular posture increases the blood flow in the memory cells in brain and synchronizes the right and left side of the brain to improve function and promote calmness, stimulates neural pathways via acupressure points in the earlobe, sharpens intelligence and also helps those with autism, asperger’s syndrome, learning difficulties and behavioral problems.
Probably we have forgotten this ancient method of increasing memory power but the West is now using is very diligently and they are recommending this posture or exercise to treat many a diseases.

SANTOOR – Musical Instrument of India

Santoor is a trapezoidal-shaped ancient string instrument. It was originally known as Shata Tantri Veena which means an instrument with 100 strings. In Ancient Scriptures of India there is mention of Shata tantri Veena which is known today as “Santoor”. This instrument got its present name Santoor with the Persian language influence in our Country. There are Hundred Strings in Santoor. It is a hollow box on top of which there are 25 bridges. Each bridge used to have 4 strings resting on it. To play this instrument, two wooden mallets are used. This instrument had been in use in the Valley of Kashmir for many centuries, in a typical type of Music known as “Sufiana Mausiqi” which means a music connected with Sufi philosophy. In this style mostly Santoor is used as an accompaniment with the singers and sometimes played as a solo instrument also. In 1940s & 50s, the best known Sufiana Musicians in Kashmir Valley were Mohamed Abdullah Tibbat Baqaal and Mohamed Qaleen Baaf. Till then Santoor had never been used in Indian Classical Music. Actually outside the Valley of Kashmir nobody had seen this instrument or heard the name Santoor.

Depending upon the region, it is known by different names such as Yang Quin, Santoori, Cymbalom, Hackbrett, Hammer-Dulcimer etc. It can be played Solo as well as accompaniment in a musical style known as Sufiana Mausiqi. It is considered that Pt. Umadutt Sharma introduced it into the Indian Classical Music.

Many of the variations of Santoor exist these days depending upon the number of strings, number of bridges, its arrangement and method of playing. Its body is usually made out of walnut or maple wood, Soundbox of mulberry or walnut wood, bridges of rosewood or ivory.

It may consist of 86-100 strings which vary from region to region. It generally consist of more than three octaves. Strings are present in the form of groups of 3-4 and are tied to the right side of bridges. Mallets made from walnut wood are used for playing the same. Tuning of Santoor can be performed with the help of tuning pegs present on the right of santoor.

Santoor is played by placing it on the lap and sitting in a position called Ardha-padmasana where one needs to have an erect posture so that it can be played comfortably. Santoor is placed such that the shorter side of the santoor is away from the player and longer side near the waist.

Strokes can be played either close to bridges or slightly away from them. Both the styles result in different sound quality. Santoor is the only String instrument which is neither plucked nor bowed but it is played with mallets. Hence it can also be called as percussion instrument.

Some of the renowned Santoor players of India are Tarun Bhattacharya, Rahul Sharma, Shivkumar Sharma, Bhajan Sopori, R. Visweswaran, Sandip Chatterjee, Prabir  Gurudass etc.

Santoor is manufactured in various parts of India such as Kashmir, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Punjab and Varanasi.

Some of the famous Santoor manufacturers of India are: T R Musicals, Ashutosh Bhowmick, Jamuna Dass & Sons, Maharaja Musicals, Bina Music Store etc.

Types of Indian Rangoli made in home.

Rangoli a very popular form art in India.

How India Got Freedom

The British first came to India in the 1600s for the sole purpose of trade. They set up a company in Calcutta, originally called the Governor and Company of Merchants of London trading into the East Indies which later came to be known as the East India Company.

The Battle of Plassey (1757-1758)

With the growth and spread of the company, the British gained power and slowly started to excise control of larger areas with the use of private armies and military powers. The Nawab of Bengal, Siraj-ud-daulah objected to the British expanding and gaining control and the strengthening of their roots in India. Robert Clive bribed Mir Jafar, the commander in chief of Nawab’s army and attacked, defeated and took over Calcutta. The Nawab of Bengal in turn retaliated and attacked the British and held prisoners of war. The growing tension between Siraj-ud-daulah and the British finally resulted in the Battle of Plassey, (1757-1758). This war is very significant for the history of India, for it resulted in the British finally taking control and ruling India for the next 200 years, in what came to be known as the British Raj.

Revolt of 1857

There had been many instances where the various princely states resisted, fought and eventually succumbed to the British rule, battles were fought and lost. The most eminent turning point and the real struggle for freedom started after the Revolt of 1857 or India’s First War of Independence. Most of north and central India extensively rebelled against the East India Company but were defeated and the control of the company was reinstated to the British.

The introduction of modern education in India by Vivekanada, and the various poems and sonnets written by several educated and knowledgeable individuals increased awareness amongst people. This resulted in colonial India gaining awareness and starting to finally dream of a free nation. This was further aggravated by the formation of various organized groups like the Indian National Congress and various socio-religious groups formed by the likes of Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Swami Dayananda Saraswat to name a few.

Partition of Bengal (1905)

The Indian National Congress formed in 1885, was a political organization formed for the educated Indians to lend a voice to the people of the country in the British Raj. The Muslim community was apprehensive and claimed they didn’t have adequate representation because they were a minority and hence refused to join the group. Religious conflicts and attacks on the Muslims by Hindus due to cow-slaughter and religious conversions only confirmed this notion.

The state of Bengal, because of its large area was getting difficult to rule. Lord Curzon ordered a division of Bengal into East Bengal (now Bangladesh) and West Bengal to increase administrative efficiency and followed the basic theory of divide and rule. Another reason for the partition was the increasing tension and conflicts between the Hindu and Muslim communities of region. This led to the formation of the All India Muslim League in Dhaka, for the sole purpose of lending a voice to the Muslim community and looking after their interests.

During The First World War India wholeheartedly supported the British by providing soldiers, food and amenities and in turn was later rewarded with Edwin Montagu announcing that Indians were now going to be given more administrative powers and gradually could become a self governing nation under the British rule. Power was divided where Indian political leaders gained control of some sections while the British retained powers over delicate matters like law, finance and taxation. However, the impact of the war was terribly felt, India suffered greatly in terms of inflation and a breakout of the epidemic, influenza.

Satyagraha Movement & Rowlatt Act (1919)

The Satyagraha movement in Chamaparan, Bihar resulted in the British retaliating and making a Rowlatt Act which gave the British powers to arrest activists and demonstrators without a trial, control of the press, and even arresting people suspicious of any agitation or treason. This was met with a nation-wide protest and an anti-Rowlatt Act campaign governed by non-violence was taken out, accompanied with demonstrations, strikes, protests and termination of work through the nation.

Jallianwala Bagh (April 1919)

The British officials became wary and always fearing a rebellion and in turn attacking the demonstration taken out by people. This was what triggered the Jallianwala Bagh tragedy. Around 15000 men, women, elders and children had gathered in Jallianwala Bagh for a meeting on Baisakhi, 13th April 1919 to protest silently to the rule made by Brigadier General Reginald E.H Dyer to make every Indian crawl the same stretch of the street where an English woman was previously attacked by a mob. On hearing of the meeting, General Dyer reached the premises blocking the only exits his armed men. Without any warning to the crowd, he instructed his men to start shooting at the crowd and to continue shooting till the ammunition finished. This action was met by outrage accompanied with protests and demonstrations in the whole country. This was one of the key factors that started the Indian Independence Movement and later the ‘Quit India Movement’.

After World War II, British rulers could see that their power over India was diminishing, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain their hold. At the same time the freedom fighters were becoming more determined to get rid of the British clutches and have a nation ruled by its own people.
During the Great depression that followed the war, India suffered in a major way, in terms of mass unemployment, inflation and famine which added to the country’s turmoil. This mayhem was followed by the Quit India Movement lead by the Indian National Congress.

Independence Day (August 15, 1947)

India became an independent nation following the famous non-violence resistance and civil disobedience movement initiated by the Indian National Congress and carried out nation wide. With the Hindu and Muslim community always at odds and violence and riots breaking out, the British leaders finally decided to relieve India from their clasps in June 1948. However, the viceroy after having decided to withdraw and bring an end to the British Raj in India decided to move up the proceeding after seeing the state and the uncontrollable chaos, riots and upheaval in India and the continuous demands for a separate Muslim state.

In June 1947, Muslim League and the Congress Party decided to partition India along religious lines. Thus, on the 14th of August, Punjab was divided and a new separate nation, Pakistan was born. On 15th August, 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru read out his famous speech “Tryst with Destiny” at midnight announcing India was a free nation. The British had finally retreated and India was reborn as a free and independent nation. Jawaharlal Nehru, one of the most eminent freedom fighters who India owes her Independence to, was sworn the first Prime Minister of independent, free India.

Partition of India (1947)

The breakout of riots, violence and a constant demand for a separate nation for the Muslims was becoming a constant factor at the fag end of the freedom movement. The Muslim League in 1946 followed Jinnah’s orders for a Direct Action Day to demand a new state, when the party leaders got arrested because of their resistance to the war. The Muslim League was in accordance with the British. Members of this group acted out irrationally creating havoc and violence in north India, costing thousands of lives. This in turn was concluded to be an irreconcilable dispute between Hindus and Muslims and a new nation for the Muslim was agreed to.

Nearly 15 million refugees crossed the borders during the partition on the two sides with Hindus and Sikhs moving from Pakistan to India and Muslims from India moving to Pakistan, making it one of the largest migrations in history and also one of the most tragic events in the recent history of  India and her freedom struggle. Bloodshed and riots followed in the provinces of Punjab and Bengal. While India received most of the 562 scattered polities or princely states, Pakistan received the remaining western part and the Muslim dominated eastern region which was known as East Pakistan now Bangladesh.

Khoob khoob aabhaar
Aapna Gujarat maa Halol ane

Tyaan majoor varg bahu chhe
To mane ek geet ri farmaaish kari thi

Many many thanks,
There are villages named Halol and
Alhod in our Gujarat..
There, there are a lot of labour class people,
They’d requested me for a song,
And there, being tired they sit in the evening
and enjoy and then sing songs..

Ram chaahe Leela chaahe Leela chaahe Ram
In dono ke love mein duniya ka kya kaam

Whether Ram wants Leela or Leela loves Ram
What’s the world to do with the love of these two..

In ka to funda hai simple sa yaar
Goli maaro to panga
Aankh maaro to pyaar

Their funda is pretty simple, dear,
If you shoot, it’s a fight,
and if you wink, it’s love..

Ram chaahe Leela chaahe Leela chaahe Ram
In dono ke love mein duniya ka kya kaam

Rakh pocket mein ghoda
De ghode ko lagaam
Ram chaahe Leela chaahe Leela chaahe Ram

Keep the gun in your pocket
and keep the trigger in control,
Whether Ram wants Leela or Leela loves Ram..

Ram chaahe Leela chaahe Leela chaahe Ram
In dono ke love mein duniya ka kya kaam

ghanan ghanan ho megh jo barse,
Leela na shringaar ne tarse,
chudlo, nathni, patlo kandoro
shobhe raani rang chakoro,
prem pankhida chhe ne ram leela ,
vantode chadya chhe aa ramleela, ramleela

The clouds rain with roars,
They crave to see Leela’s adorning,
Bangles, nose-ring, and waist-band
Make the queen as beautiful as moon
Ram-Leela are lovebirds
and the Ramleela is all passionate..

Lagein saare dushman dikhe sab mein chor
Meri balcony mein betha ek mor
Donon ki hai mishtake RamLeela badnaam

Everyone looks like an enemy and I see a thief in all
There is a peacock sitting on my balcony,
It’s a fault of both that Ramleela is infamous..

Re mhaara Ram
Aye mhaara Ram

O my Ram, O my Ram

Ram chaahe Leela chaahe Leela chaahe Ram
In dono ke love mein duniya ka kya kaam

Bullet bhi ek aur ek hi hai jaan
Har bullet pe likha marne wale ka naam
Goli ko bhi goli de de ye to kare aisa kaam
Ram Leela, Ram Leela…

There is only one bullet and only one life,
And on every bullet, it’s written who’d die from it..
But they deceive even the bullet, that’s how they work..
Ramleela, Ramleela, Ramleela..

Ram chaahe Leela chaahe Leela chaahe Ram
In dono ke love mein duniya ka kya kaam
