JAMMU, June 2: Lagan Society for Art and Culture (LSAC) organized a workshop on ‘Bhartiya Sangeet’ in the premises of Lagan Music Classes at Subhash Nagar, here today.
Resource person for the workshop was Yash Pal Yash (renowned writer and composer), who has explored the therapeutic potentials of Indian Classical Music.
Bhartiya Sangeet, with its roots in the Vedic traditions, encompasses a rich tapestry of sounds and rhythms designed not only for aesthetic pleasure but also for promoting holistic wellness. The workshop highlighted several key aspects of how this ancient art form contributes to health improvements.
Participants learned about the Ragas system, a cornerstone of Indian Classical Music, which is known to evoke specific emotional responses. Listening to or performing certain ragas can significantly reduce stress levels, lowers anxiety, and foster a sense of mental clarity.
Furthermore, engaging with Bhartiya Sangeet can stimulate cognitive functions, enhancing memory, attention and problem-solving skills. The intricate patterns and rhythms in compositions require active listening and mental engagement, which can help keep the mind sharp and agile. Regular practice or listening sessions can be especially beneficial for children and the elderly, aiding in cognitive development and delaying the onset of age-related cognitive decline.
The workshop concluded with an interactive session where participants shared their personal experiences of how Bhartiya Sangeet had positively impacted their lives. From reducing chronic pain to helping cope with grief, the testimonies underscored the transformative power of this ancient art form.
On the occasion, the participants were Lagan Verma, Parmita Sharma, Aditya Sharma, Vinod Kumar, Shingarika Malhotra, Sarthak Verma, Kritika Choudhary, Ram Sharma, Parvinder Singh, Advocate Sandeep Gupta (patron, LSAC), Sonia Dogra (treasurer, LSAC), Shubham Manmar (IT Incharge, LSAC) and Rohit Bains (joint secretary, LSAC).
At the end, Rajesh Kumar Verma (president, LSAC) presented vote of thanks.
