Podcasts about Hindustani

Kala Ramnath is a world-renowned Indian violinist who performs in both the Hindustani classical tradition, and in collaborations that incorporate many styles with Ray Manzarek of The Doors, Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer, Hilary Hahn, Kronos Quartet with Reena Esmail and veena player Jayanthi Kumaresh, and  leading orchestras such as my own National Arts Centre, to name but a few. You'll hear about her childhood, and how she became a disciple of the legendary vocalist Pandit Jasraj, leading her to revolutionize her approach to Hindustani violin technique. As a teacher she has put together an incredible resource with an extensive video library that she's created of Indian music, Indianclassicalmusic.com  When I recorded this interview with Kala, she had just the day before returned from the celebration of life for the legendary tabla master Zakir Hussain, who died this past December, and was one of the most important musicians in both Indian music and in bringing a global audience to Indian music. He had moved to San Francisco in the 1960s and was involved in too many projects to begin to list; in 2024 he was the first musician from India to receive 3 Grammys at one ceremony, including his collaboration with Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer. Zakir Hussain was an incredibly important mentor of Kala, and you'll hear in her words about what his guidance and collaborations meant to her. Kala talked to me about some of her many cross-genre collaborations, including her fantastic albums with tabla master Bikram Ghosh  and her inventive trio with George Brooks and Gwyneth Wentink and you'll hear some of that music as well (albums linked below).  Like all my episodes, you can watch this on my YouTube channel or listen to the podcast on all the podcast platforms, and I've also linked the transcript : YouTube and TranscriptKala Ramnath Website Indianclassicalmusic.com Raag Ahir Bhairav  Paperboats album Elements trio albumOther episodes I've linked directly to this one, which I think may interest you: Karnatic violinist Suhadra VijaykumarSitar and tabla player Mohamed Assani Bansuri player Milind DateSarod player Avi KishnaIt's a joy to bring these inspiring episodes to you every week, and I do all the many jobs of research, production and publicity.  Please buy me a coffee?

Some psychologists symbolize the consciousness as a knife very capable of separating us from that which is fastened to us, extracting our strength. These psychologists believe that the only way to escape the power of this or that “I” is to observe it more clearly, each time with the objective of comprehending it so as to become cognizant of it. These people think that in this way, separation of ourselves from this or that “I” will eventually occur, although it may be just by the width of a knife’s edge. In this manner, they say, the “I” separated by the consciousness resembles a cut plant. Becoming conscious of any “I,” according to them, means separating it from our psyche and condemning it to death. Without question, although apparently very convincing, such an idea fails in practice. An “I” which has been cut off from our personality by the knife of consciousness, thrown out of the house like the black sheep of the family, continues in the psychological space. Transformed into a demon of temptation, it insists on returning home. It does not submit so easily. In no way does it wish to eat the bitter bread of exile. It looks for an opportunity, and when we let down our guard for a minute it accommodates itself anew within our psyche. Gravest of all, is that within an exiled “I,” there is always a certain percentage of Essence, consciousness, imprisoned. All those psychologists who think this way have never been successful in dissolving any of their “I’s”; they have actually failed. No matter how hard one tries to evade the question of the Kundalini, it remains a very serious problem. In fact, the “ungrateful child” never progresses in the esoteric work on himself. Obviously, an “ungrateful child” is anyone who scorns Isis, our own particular, individual, Divine Cosmic Mother. Isis is one of the autonomous parts of our own Being, yet a derivative. The igneous serpent of our magical powers is Kundalini. Obviously, only Isis has the absolute power to disintegrate any “I,” this is irrefutable, indisputable and incontrovertible. Kundalini is a compound word: KUNDA reminds us of the abominable “Kundabuffer organ,” and LINI is an Atlantean term meaning termination. Kundalini means “the termination of the abominable Kundabuffer organ.” In this case, it is imperative not to confuse Kundalini with Kundabuffer. As we already stated in a previous chapter, the igneous serpent of our magical powers is found coiled up three and a half times inside of a certain magnetic center, located in the coccygeal bone at the base of the spinal column. When the serpent rises, it is Kundalini; when it descends, it is the abominable Kundabuffer organ. Through White Tantra the serpent ascends victoriously along the spinal canal awakening the powers of deification. Through Black Tantra the serpent hurtles downward from the coccyx toward the atomic infernos of the human being. This is how many are transformed into terribly perverse demons. Those who make the mistake of attributing all the sinister, negative characteristics of the descending serpent to the ascending serpent, definitely fail in the Work upon themselves. The evil consequences of the abominable Kundabuffer organ can only be annihilated with the Kundalini. It would not be an overstatement to say that such evil consequences are crystallized in the pluralized ego of revolutionary psychology. The hypnotic power of the descending serpent has submerged humanity in unconsciousness. By contrast, only the ascending serpent can awaken us. This truth is an axiom of Hermetic wisdom. Now we understand better the deep significance of the sacred word Kundalini. Conscious will is always represented as a sacred woman, Mary, Isis, who crushes the head of the descending serpent. Frankly speaking, in plain language, the dual flow of light, the living and astral fire of the Earth has been represented in ancient mysteries as a serpent with a bull, billy goat, or dog’s head. It is the double serpent of the Caduceus of Mercury and the tempting serpent of Eden. But it is also, without the slightest doubt, the bronze serpent of Moses entwined in the “Tau,” that is to say, the “generating lingam.” This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Moses-serpent.jpg It is the male goat of the Sabbath and the Baphomet of Gnostic Templars, the Hyle of universal Gnosticism, the double tail of the serpent that forms the feet of the solar cockerel of Abraxas. The “black lingam” inserted in the metallic “yoni,” (symbols of the God Shiva, of Hindustani divinity) is the secret key to awaken and develop the ascendant serpent or Kundalini. This is under the lifelong condition of never spilling the “vessel of Hermes Trismegistus,” the thrice great God, Ibis of Thoth. We have spoken between the lines for those who know how to understand. Whosoever has understanding let them understand, for herein lies wisdom. Black Tantra practitioners are different. They awaken and develop the abominable Kundabuffer organ, serpent of temptation from Eden, when they commit the unforgivable crime of spilling the sacred wine during their rites.

And it's always used by soldiers in the First and Second World Wars, and it just means Britain. So they would say "go home to Blighty".So it means the country.It means the country.Go home to Blighty.Yeah. And that actually comes from Urdu.乌尔都语？Yeah.Okay.It's the Urdu word for foreign land, "Vilayati" .For foreign land. That's a bit weird to go home to foreign land.Well. If you think about it, this was the era when Britain ruled India.So if they were speaking, Hindustani, Hindi or Urdu, then probably people in India would say "Vilayati" .Oh. It's like go back to your own...Over there.Over there. Okay, go back to the foreign land, foreign land to us, I see.Yeah.See. In Chinese we also have different names for the country, for example, it was like什么此生无悔入华夏，华夏，对吧? Oh, yeah.So, we have a lot of those as well.Yeah, it's the same as in English. They mostly used in sort of poetic.Poetic, more literary, historical.Yeah.Okay. And what about Wales? Wales has his own language, right? Yes. They speak Welsh.Which is an impossible-to-learn language.It is very, very difficult.Do you understand Welsh?No.It's a completely different language.It's a completely different language. The grammar is completely different. The words are completely different. If you lived in Wales, then you would have to learn Welsh at school up to about 16, it's a compulsory subject, but most English people don't speak Welsh.Okay. But where does the name Wales come from?Well. It comes from the old English word for foreigner.Okay. So basically English and just saying "over there, they are foreigners".

“There is a beautiful Hindustani saying, ‘Kosa kosa per pani badle, chare kosa per vani,' which means "Every two miles the water changes, and every four the language." So that, in fact, is the geography of taste and terroir in India.”This week on the show, we talk with sociologist Krishnendu Ray about place and food and caste in India and how identity can be defined as much by what you DON'T eat, as by what you DO eat.  And we share a recipe for a home grown hot sauce that cannot be prepared indoors.

Die Hindustani sind eine der vier indischen Zivilisationen, die aus den früheren Indern hervorgegangen sind. Sie behielten die Imperialen Kamele und sind zu einer rundum starken Zivilisation gereift, die ihre Stärken auf Landkarten ausspielen können. Sie brauchen viel Gold und finden Konter gegen die meisten Einheiten, setzen auf Mobilität und haben ihre deutlichsten Schwächen im Fernkampf und auf See - mit Ausnahme von Handkanonieren, die sind besonders stark. Ab der Ritterzeit werden die Hindustani sukzessive immer stärker und das zeigt auch die Winrate dieser Zivilisation über alle Elo-Stufen hinweg.

With recruits from across its empire, Britain's troops in the Second World War were a multi-lingual, multi-ethnic force. Among those involved were more than a quarter of a million soldiers from East Africa and 2.5 million from South Asia, whose contributions to the Allied forces were absolutely essential to the outcome of the war. In this episode of On the Record, host Chloe Lee speaks with Iqbal Singh and Liz Haines, specialists at The National Archives, and writer Sharmila Chauhan about a collection of records relating to the recruitment of soldiers from across Britain's colonies. Focusing on the languages mobilised in these documents, they discuss records that range from the speeches of British commanders in (romanised) Hindustani, to recruitment posters featuring Swahili and Nyanja.

Peace. Freedom. Self-discovery. These are the underlying themes of Nafs at Peace. Without a single word spoken on the album, it's remarkably self-assured and self-evident in its truths. Created by Pakistani improvisational jazz outfit Jaubi, Nafs at Peace is one of the year's most revelatory releases. Weaving together the threads of Hindustani classical music, hip-hop beats and spiritual jazz, the group has made a record as funky as it is healing. The connections between the ecstatic jazz of Alice Coltrane or Pharoah Sanders are less evident in the notes played, as Jaubi based these songs around specific melodic, raga structures, but in the intent. These are musicians lost in their instruments or—at its most ascendent, one with the notes themselves. Nafs at Peace is nothing short of a joy, and we chatted with guitarist Ali Baqar about the album.

In the twelfth episode of Season 8 of the Meet the Mancunian Podcast, host Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe speaks with Jazzy J, an Artist and Executive Committee Member of the Indian Association of Manchester. Jazzy J shares his passion for community support, rooted in his upbringing in Mumbai, and discusses his role in the Indian Association of Manchester. He highlights the organisation's efforts to bring together people from various backgrounds, provide platforms for local talent, and support activities that celebrate South Asian culture. The episode covers the importance of patience, kindness, and a forward-thinking approach. The conversation underscores the significance of fostering inclusion and giving people opportunities to showcase their talents. The episode concludes with Jazzy J offering advice for those looking to start similar movements in their communities. In J's own words: “I think I have made an impact by making people believe that if they have a talent that they can come forward and present it. Age does not matter. Form does not matter. Style does not matter. As far as you have it in you, you go ahead and you share it with the world and you enrich it in the way that you feel that is fit for you.' #Community #SouthAsian #culture #Manchester #GM #SocialImpact #NonProfit #Podcast   Did you know:  ·     South Asian culture is a blend of many cultures in and around the Indian subcontinent. It has a rich history of kingdoms, empires, spiritual and artistic movements, and cultural, religious, economic, and political connections to other regions.  ·     South Asian culture has made a significant impact on Britain in various aspects, such as food, clothing, music, words, and the overall ambiance of our towns and cities.  ·      South Asia has a rich legacy of music and dance, including classical music traditions like Hindustani and Carnatic music in India, Ghazals in Pakistan, and Baul music in Bangladesh. Dance forms like Bharatanatyam, Kathak, and Bhangra are art forms that also express emotions and cultural narratives.   Key resources: This is Jazzy J.

In the last episode of season 4 of the True Fiction Project, I am honored to welcome the amazing Anand Thakore. I've known Anand since we were in school together, and it has been incredible to see his journey and learn of his success as an Anglophone Poet and Hindustani Classical Musician. During this episode we reminisce on some of our school experiences and share stories. Then we dive in to learn what Anand is up to now, while he shares his latest projects. We hear an excerpt of music and a poem from Deepankar Khiwani, titled Cathedral. Anand shares his experience working with Deepankar and how their work together inspired him to start writing poetry again.

This lecture presents the rich history of musicians' engagement with pitch.From the tuning systems of Babylon, Pythagoras and Hindustani ragas, through the temperaments of the Baroque and Classical eras and arriving at contemporary electronic, blues, jazz and global practices, we explore how musicians have organised, sliced and manipulated the pitch continuum for expressive effect.In so doing, we reveal the mechanics that determine the 12 notes of the piano keyboard and the beautiful spectrum of pitch colours between them.This lecture was recorded by Milton Mermikides on 18th January 2024 at LSO, St Luke's Church, LondonThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/art-tuningGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Does randomness lie in the eye of the beholder? ‘What' is music? Why is ordering often a consequence of scaling? Is there such a thing as non-repetitive music? Do there need to be ‘types' for there to be repetitions? Are there patterns out there independent of us? What would a Kantian say? Are fundamental algorithms at the heart of Nature? Does this conflict with fundamental laws of physics? Why can't finite state machines count? Are Turing machines able to recognize repetitions? How? Why isn't any combination of notes a raga? Why is ‘Sa' the fixed point in Hindustani classical music? Can the link between moods and musical keys / notes / ragas be understood via the pigeonhole principle? Is there a deep link between repetition and consonance (or dissonance)? Do we tend to classify things that are not ‘not different'? Is the ability to have knowledge of similarity a distinct faculty? How are multiple renditions ‘in' a raga same yet different? Can repetitions help charge our musical consciousness? Do ever-fresh accents make repetitions rhythms? Is there asymmetric dependence of error on truth? &, do hallucinations ‘repeat' Reality? SynTalk thinks about these & more questions using ideas from theoretical computer science (Dr. Arkadev Chattopadhyay, TIFR, Mumbai), music studies/history (Prof. Partho Datta, JNU, New Delhi), & philosophy (Dr. Anand Vaidya, San José State University, San José).

Why I Killed Gandhi  by Nathuram Godse Gandhi was assassinated in 1948.  In the two movies I have seen, the assassin is portrayed as a deranged bearded scary-looking fanatic.  Some of those words might well be justified, but we are never told that the assassin was an exceptionally well educated, well-read reformer, someone who hated the caste system and looked forward to a modern India.  His name was Nathuram Godse.  He was tried for Gandhi's murder and hanged.  He knew from the beginning that he would be executed for his action, but he did it anyway.  He saw himself as a patriot for his people.  During the year or so that he was waiting for his trial, he wrote a lengthy statement discussing his life and his philosophy and his reasons for what he did.  During his trial, he was allowed to read a shortened version of that longer text.  This is the text I am going to read for you during this podcast. I hope you will forgive my bad pronunciation of some of these Indian names.  They are new to me, and all I can do is pronounce them in a phonetic way, phonetic as I understand them.  Below are a few of the names and terms but there were others – for example intellectuals and political leaders – that I did not include.  I suspect if we read their writings we would understand much more than we understand now, but that will have to wait for another time. My students considered this a shocking document.  It was not shocking because this person killed Gandhi – we knew that --  but because it was logical.  Some of you know from another podcast, my Rules of Good Studenting.  In a class where we deal with political movements and ideologies that may offend, two of the most shocking Rules are these:  “Until you can understand an argument well enough to explain it to the satisfaction of someone who holds that view, and defend it from its critics, you do not understand it well enough to know if you agree or disagree. “  Well, that excludes maybe 90 % of the people who get into arguments.  But my students found it liberating, that they were allowed to understand arguments that offended and terrified them. A second Rule is this one:  “If you were there, you would be there.”  Or as I put it to my students, every single thing we will encounter in this class, no matter how shocking or offensive, you would quite possibly do it you were in the condition of the person who did it and had experienced all the things that person had experienced.   Again, that is distressing.  You would kill and even participate in a massacre?  I would?  Yes, you would.  And if you think you would not you are not thinking deeply enough.  I recommend you listen to that podcast:  The Rules of Good Studenting.   Don't expect to like it.  My students considered this one of the most disturbing things we read during the whole semester, that the person who assassinated the saintly Gandhi  was a thoughtful intellectual who made sense (even if we disagree with him). Some termsHindutva --  Hindu nationalist ideology.  Linked to the BJP party of Prime Minister Modi. Mahatma (term of respect for Gandhi)Moghul Empire (Muslim conquerors of India)Satyagraha:  Gandhi's philosophy of active, non-violent resistanceHindi and Hindustani   A “real” language and a bastard language created to mollify MuslimsMohammed Ali Jinnah – founder of PakistanJawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India

Episode 188 Notes and Links to Kavita Das's Work       On Episode 188 of The Chills at Will Podcast, Pete welcomes Kavita Das, and the two discuss, among other things, her early trajectory towards becoming a writer, formative and transformative writers and writing, how writing her first book and working in social change led her to write Craft and Conscience, and ideas of history, forgotten histories, personal narrative, writing about emotional issues, the power of anthology and writing being in conversation with other writing, writing as political, and ideas of power.      Kavita Das worked in social change for close to fifteen years, addressing issues ranging from community and housing inequities, to public health disparities, to racial injustice. Although Kavita remains committed to social justice issues, she left the social change sector to become a full-time writer and to tell the life story of Grammy-nominated Hindustani singer Lakshmi Shankar through her first book Poignant Song: The Life and Music of Lakshmi Shankar  (Harper Collins India, June 2019).    At the root of both her writing and social change work is Kavita's desire to provoke thought and engender change by recognizing and revealing the true ways in which culture, race, and gender intersect especially when it comes to societal inequities. Kavita has been a regular contributor to NBC News Asian America, Los Angeles Review of Books, and The Rumpus. In addition, her work has been published in WIRED, Poets & Writers, Catapult, LitHub, Tin House, Longreads, Kenyon Review, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, CNN, Guernica, McSweeney's, Fast Company, Quartz, Colorlines, Romper, and elsewhere. She was nominated for a 2016 Pushcart Prize.     Kavita created the popular “Writing About Social Issues” nonfiction seminar, which inspired her second book, Craft and Conscience: How To Write About Social Issues,  and has taught at the New School and Catapult, along with being a frequent guest lecturer. Her essays on social issues have been included in two creative writing textbooks. Kavita received a B.A. in Urban Studies from Bryn Mawr College and a M.B.A. in Marketing from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Contagion is a medical term, but it applies to the banking world, too. Investors are worried that the problems at a handful of American banks could ripple across the world economy and that unexpected surprises may be lurking. And, Ecuador finds a novel way to convert seized cocaine into cement. Also, the outgoing head of the UN's World Food Program, David Beasley, has long argued that growing global food insecurity should be addressed with structural solutions — not handouts. Beasley talks about how the world can adapt to the new, worrisome challenges hunger poses. Plus, the latest sounds from the innovator of the Hindustani slide guitar, Debashish Bhattacharya.
