About the Artists

Manish Vyas

Manish Vyas

Vocalist, Composer, Multi-Intrumentalist

Manish grew up in Gujarat, India in a family of musicians and under the ayurvedic lifestyle of which his grandfather was a specialist. He learnt Indian classical and devotional music since he was a child, where music and kirtan gatherings were happening in his house since his childhood. Later, living in Pune, he conducted and co-coordinated retreats in India during more than 15 years. During these years, he was also actively involved with the music department of Osho Commune in India, while Osho was still in his body. In this period, he was conducting live music for various meditation sessions, dance sessions and concerts, all directed to a very specific purpose of deepening the quality of meditation. This long period of experiments and experience reflects in his music.

Hindol

Hindol

Sitar

Born into a family of well-known folk musicians, Hindol was all of 5 when his father Sri Panchanan Sardar taught him initial strings of the instrument. Since then it has been a long journey of rigorous practice sessions to master the techniques of the instrument and nuances of the Tradition.  He also received training from other imminent teachers like Pandit Santosh Bannerji and Pandit Deepak Chowdhury, a senior disciple of Sitar Maestro Ravi Shankar. His exposure to music was solely Indian classical throughout his school days. However there was one record of Tchaekovsky’s Swanlake at his home which was his backdoor to another world. While being in the University he started jamming and performing together with his music friends with western music background and in this way he opened up to a whole new world of Jazz and Western Classical.

Ojas

Ojas

Percussions

A versatile musician and a high creative being, Ojas was born in 1973 in Delhi, India. At a very early age, he started taking part in music events such as kirtans, bhajans and traditional rituals in India. With these events, he discovered his passion for music while joining the events playing harmonium and drums. Throughout the years merging with many artists he evolved himself as a percussionist and nowadays he lives in Cologne, Germany, where he also teaches music, organizes workshops and supplies good quality imported instruments. He plays various instruments: harmonium, hang, gubal, kalimbas, didgeridoo, djembe, congas, cajon, tablas and other drums and a variety of other percussions.

The need for Sattvic-Music

During my Skype-conversation with Manish Vyas, he told me that our world is in need of sattvic-music. According Hindu mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik people who have a strong sattva-guna personality feel the need to outgrow their fears by helping others and during this process they realize they have a mind of their own. Sattva-guna music is sensitive, it allows to introspect and by analyzing the deeper meaning of mantra-music one can experience a change in mindset and feelings.
