Concert of Indian Classical Music – (Maharishi Gandharva Veda)
Saturday 20 June at 7:45pm at the Maharishi Dome, Skelmersdale
With sitar player Reshma Shrivastava
“Gandharva music is the basis of all order and harmony in nature; therefore, it has that most harmonising, most integrating influence. It is a very precious science and art of creating harmony within oneself, one’s family, one’s city, one’s country, and the whole world.”
– Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Comment from previous concerts:
“The Gandharva Veda Concert feedback has been overwhelming: ‘Brilliant’ ‘Best ever’, ‘absolutely superb’, ‘I transcended many times’ and despite the pouring rain there was a good attendance.”
Reshma Srivastava – Superstar Sitarist
Reshma has been hailed by the US media as a “Superstar Sitarist”. Her performances are acclaimed as “Transcendent, Soulful, and Illuminating”. Performing professionally for over 30 years, touring in India, Asia, Europe, and USA, Reshma is considered among the top female sitar artists in the world today.
Gandharva Veda is a part of the Vedas and is called the Upa (subsidiary) Veda of Sama Veda and includes the treatise on music and the performing arts.
The Gandharva Veda is based on melodies called ragas. Each raga has its own structure, combining fixed elements with infinite variations. This allows the musician to express all the subtleties of the vibration prevailing at that particular time of day.
Tickets for the concert will be £15 which can be paid online or in cash at the door.
If you pay online, please show your email receipt as proof of payment upon arrival.
Guests not practicing Transcendental Meditation are most welcome.
