#BhajanSopori #Santoor #NaadYoga #Kashmir #RainbowOfMelodies #NaadYogaOnSantoor #MusicTherapy #PariMahal #SaintOfSantoor #KingOfStrings #Chakras Santoor, Prakriti (Nature) and Bhajan (Prayer) are a trinity that signifies one concept - Kashmir. The Santoor or Shatatantri Veena, a musical instrument of Kashmir, expresses the various moods of this land, which, in turn, are reflected in the musical compositions of this paradise on earth. The present symphony is a product of Pt. Bhajan Sopori's memories of Kashmir, re-created in the tranquillity of his composer’s mind that have inspired him from time to time. His contribution has been in bringing these diverse elements together in order to create an extravaganza of rhythm and melody. The symphony is divided into seven movements, corresponding to the seven colours of the rainbow he saw over the silver mountain range as a child. The seven pieces also depict the 7 Chakras in a human body. He presents a fusion of the traditional, the classical, the Shaivite, the Sufiana and the folk music of his motherland, with contemporary sensibility. This collection is from Pandit Bhajan Sopori's music album 'Kashmir - A Rainbow of Melodies', which is part of his music therapy series - 'Naad Yoga on Santoor'. About the composition - Pari Mahal: Built on the footholds of the Hill of Zaberwan facing the Shankaracharya (ShivaTemple) on the one side and the Mosque of Hazratbal Shrine on the other side, the Pari Mahal, or abode of the nymphs (or the dancing girls of then ruling court), was also an astronomical observatory of Dara Shikoh, the Sufi Mughal Prince. "I have tried to visualise a spiritually gifted soul, for whom 'Namah Shivaya' and 'Allah' carry the same message. It is left to the imagination of the listener to interpret the rendering of these two words simultaneously", says Pt. Bhajan Sopori. Chakras are the centers of energy in a body, which look after the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual being. There are 7 chakras, which are normally linked to 7 colours: 1 - Muladhara (Root Chakra) – Red colour 2 - Swadhishthana (Sacral Chakra) – Orange colour 3 - Nabhi (Solar Plexus Chakra) – Yellow colour 4 - Anahata (Heart Chakra) – Green colour 5 - Vishuddha (Throat Chakra) – Blue colour 6 - Agnya (Third Eye Chakra) – Indigo colour 7 - Sahasrara (Crown Chakra) – Violet or White colour -------------------------------- Facebook ►   / panditbhajansopori   Instagram ►   / bhajansopori   Twitter ►   / bhajansopori   -------------------------------- A Living Legend and a Musical Genius Pandit Bhajan Sopori is more than an individual. He is a performer and composer par excellence, musicologist, teacher, writer, poet, and an extraordinary human being, he is a complete institution in himself. Regarded as the cultural bridge of Jammu & Kashmir with the rest of the country, he is hailed as the “Saint of the Santoor” & the “King of Strings”. Pandit Bhajan Sopori was born in Srinagar (Kashmir) into a family of musicians of the fabled ‘Sufiana Gharana’ of Kashmir, the exclusive traditional Santoor family of the country with its roots spanning over 300 years. Representing the age-old Shaivite-Sufi tradition, he was initiated into Santoor playing by his grandfather the Great Master Musician Pt. Samsar Chand Sopori and later by his father, the Great Music Master Pt. Shamboo Nath Sopori, hailed as the ‘Father of Music’ in Jammu & Kashmir. Pandit Bhajan Sopori has been the pioneer in establishing the Santoor at global platforms as a complete solo instrument. The quiet and unassuming maestro has come a long way since he created history by being the first person to play the Indian Classical music on the Santoor in concerts way back in the early 1950’s. In his over 6 decades of dedicated work he has explored various dimensions of the Santoor, carrying out many path-breaking innovations and introduced the ‘Sopori Baaj’, the systematic style and format of playing the Classical Santoor. A highly learned person, he has a double Masters degree in Indian Classical music, specialising in both the Sitar and the Santoor, besides having a Masters degree in English Literature. He has also studied Western Classical Music at Washington University, USA. A composer of over 8,000 songs, he combines a profound knowledge of music and musicology and has carried out immense research on music therapy. The mystic master has used his Santoor and his compositions to highlight the concept of oneness and foster unity enshrining the idea of national integration, humanism and peace amongst the common man and the youth in particular. For his enormous contributions, Panditji has received hundreds of national and international awards & titles. -------------------------------- Special thanks to Vishnu B.
