This TED talk is quite spectacular. As a neuroscientist at MIT, whenever I present spinal cord neural circuits to non-scientist, I compare it to string instrument. Now, it make more sense for me!
Hello sir, my name is Praveen Kaushik. I just completed my UG in Neuropsychology & Neurosciences Sir my research interest quite resembles yours ie., formation of synapses & neural circuits and their modulations with respect to higher cognitive processes.. Sir, I am very pleased to see your profile & beg your suggestions for what should i do further to approach these questions in an efficient way?
Such talented and intelligent lady. I admire and thank her for sharing indian classical music with its rich culture with the younger generation..to inspire them to keep this beautiful culture alive..namaste
An enriching experience listening to this talk. After the fall of the Vijayanagara empire, Thanjavur became the epicenter for culture in South India, for Telugu poetry as well. Now I understand that even for Carnatic music it was a glorious period. The musical trinity appeared, veena was refined, grammar was written for Carnatic music with the sorts of Govinda deekshitar and veena kuppayyar. Saraswati Mahal sheltered the beautiful literary heritage and cauvery carried forward the wonderful musical heritage. Feel so happy ! Thank you to Smt. Jayanthi Kumaresh and to the Tedx team.
The word mystical, with this presentation dies not seem out of place. Most agreeable presentation from all aspects. The vena is not built to look like a Rolls-Royce and seems so bulky to me, but the sounds alone are so inspiring, and enchanting, to want to own one. Tolerating other sound manifestations of this instrument is a noble disposition. Being interested in only some musical instruments and their build I'd say please don't use drumstick wood! There are many other dragons out there who hate all music!
Such a fascinating story! Told and performed so beautifully. Loved the bit about the temple bells tied to the jackfruit tree and the resonance of those auspicious sounds entering the wood which would later be transformed into a musical instrument - the veena! What a lovely, magical concept! Thanks for enlightening us on this sacred instrument!🙏🙏
Madam, Thank you for the origin, development and detailed information on Veena. Just for the information, there is Gayatri Veena which has only one string. Smt. Viokum Vijayalakshmi, a blind lady plays it. I think it is only one in the world and only one person plays it. When she plays that one string really talks, not simply makes sound. Thank you again madam for giving us the history of Veena.
Thank you for such beautiful presentation. At the same time I feel sorry that people in India don't know it's value and as such there are very little information about it in Google search .
I always wondered how this sacred instrument Veena was made? There are many mythological stories( may be true) around it but this one sounds very interesting, thank you for sharing 🙏🏻. If you can share any references or resources/books to refer to, it would be really helpful 🙏🏻
Hi Dr. Jayanthi Kumaresh, Being an Experienced Veena Player you must have specially ordered this particular Saraswati Veena Type. Where to buy or make this type of Veena please. Thanks Dr. Jayanthi.
Scintillating demo of d entire history of Saraswati veena in a nut shell....but it has 3 and half octaves not 3 as u specified...raga selection was very nice with a little bit of thanam....
The Veena was even before Nayak time. We have seen in temple structures even before Nayak time. Why you people are so interested to change Tamil Nadu history and why you stop it ??
The early Sanskrit texts call any stringed instrument as Vana, and these include bowed, plucked, one string, many strings, fretted, non-fretted etc.. Later this term evolved to veena. I think there is no vichhedan we can do with term "veena" just like "nadi or river"
While her skill on veena is remarkable, attaching history of veena to the last 400 years is such a skewed view of thousands of years of tradition of veena! It's so unfortunate that even artists of such a calibre are brain washed!

The veena is so mystical. It sounds so classical like the sitar and yet sound so modern like the guitar.
Sitar was actually made inspired from Veena
Veena is much older than the sitar
Veena is much older than sitar. The mughls changed veena with sitar and mridangam with tabla
Your are absolutely correct.....@@Kapish.k.narayanmurthi
@@louisthelemur1238yes indeed
I feel blessed to have heard this beautifully articulated presentation. Thank you Dr. Kumaresh! 🙏✨ Jai Maa Saraswati

What is the Actual root meaning of the Word Veena?
The early Sanskrit texts call any stringed instrument as Vana, and these include bowed, plucked, one string, many strings, fretted, non-fretted etc.. Later this term evolved to veena.
I think there is no vichhedan we can do with term "veena" just like "nadi or river"
Does anyone knows which raga she plays? It's really soothing.
Dhrumit Pandit sounds like raag charukeshi to me
