Pt. Bhimsen Joshi Sangeet Academy and Swar Kala Sangam are a music academy in Gurgaon, was started 40+ years ago by Prof. Bali in Jammu with an aim to spread the vast ocean of the Music and Dance education. Prof. B.S Bali believes that Music and Dances in any form are the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life. It was very long ago, once he was sitting with his father and was listening to “Piya Ke Milan Ki Aas” in “Rag Jogia” and got carried away that he started crying. On asking his father, he came to know that it was sung by Pt. Bhimsen Ji Joshi, then he insisted that he wants to learn from the Guru Himself. Since then he had devoted his life to Music and His Guruji Bharat Ratna Pandit Bhimsen Ji Joshi.
As per Professor Baldev Singh Bali “to excel in the field of Classical Music, a person has to be broadminded, patient and a good listener. And also, one has to be imaginative and creative person. His dedication, zeal, commitment, devotion and immunity to the temptations of day to day life was necessary for him to become a true disciple of Music and Dance”.
Prof. Bali’s mission took a new turning when he was supported by his own daughter and disciple Mukta Monish Mehta and Guruji’s Sons Jayant Joshi Ji and Pt. Srinivas Joshi Ji to take the Learning Forward. Led Ms. Mukta Mehta, Pt. Bhimsen Joshi Sangeet Academy’s “Swar Kala Sangam” is dedicated to impart training and knowledge of Music and Dances to the Students interested and dedicated in the field of Music.
Music Mentor & Educationist – Mukta Monish Mehta
Life is not a bed of roses nor it can be spoon fed. Life is made by a vision, striving towards the Vision/Dream and turning it into a reality. Mukta Mehta, born and brought up in Jammu, had an inclination towards music since her childhood. A Gold Medallist in Music from Jammu University, trained by Prof. B.S.Bali, her father and disciple of Pandit Bhimsen Ji Joshi, she has got her values of Kirana Gharana imbibed from the childhood. A music teacher by profession, she always wanted the education she got from Her Father and Guru Ji should spread and everyone should feel united with the cultural thread of Music and Dances.
Mukta’s thoughts are also very much like her father. She believes that “a talent needs to be cultivated in the children at an early age and it stays with them for life.’’ They have to be introduced to a performing art in their early childhood.” She also believes that there is no age barrier for learning. Hobbies keep a person alive and ticking. They help keep away stress from the lives and we know that how stressful the life has become, especially in the metros. One has to take out time from the busy schedules and the best way to spend time with oneself is to indulge in a hobby. And what can be better than picking up a performing art. “This belief added with unconditional love towards children, made her to come up with the idea of a “Music Academy”. Now the music school is also teaching and has launched certification programs for the Music learners and aspirants.
The Academy and Way Forward
Pt. Bhimsen Joshi Sangeet Academy’s “Swar Kala Sangam” established by Mukta Monish Mehta along with her father and Panditji’s disciple Prof. Bali and guidance and direction from Jayant Joshi and Srinivas Joshi, is an attempt to take his legacy forward. The Academy is formed to inculcate the cultural values in not just today’s children, but adults too. It aims to inculcate the values of “Kirana Gharana” Pt. Bhimsen Joshi’s style of teaching in the children. With the vast knowledge and experience in the GURUs, and with the sharp and experimental attitude of today’s generation, this combination can do wonders in the field of Music. It is said that “knowledge grows by sharing”, and the GURUs in the academy are selflessly committed to impart the training amongst the Shishyas.
Love for Music
Music and Art is all about dedication, zeal, commitment, devotion and inculcating these habits are necessary to become a true disciple of any art form. “Performing Art” becomes an integral part of the personality development. It helps in Channelizing energy in a Positive manner and thus provides a positive mental attitude. It creates a stress free, fun filled and productive environment. This results in a higher productivity in any other work also that we do. This helps in maintaining our physical, mental and emotional health.
Art is a long-term asset and we should allow ourselves and our children to blossom in the field of performing arts.
Mukta Mehta is of the view that learning and specializing in any form of “ART” (Quality learning) soothes not only the ailing mind but also rejuvenates the stressed mind to take up challenges with new vigour and strength in one’s life. There is no dearth of talent in India but one needs to give them the right learning and direction.
