Learn more about the music:
Jyoti Hegde is among the world’s leading rudra veena players. Sitar was her first love, and she studied the instrument under Bindhu Madhav Pathak, starting training at the comparatively late age of 12. But on hearing her guru play the veena she became instantly drawn to its slow, low tones, and asked to learn.
Her guru refused, telling her that women could not play it. After some persistence he offered to give her a trial lesson, but deliberately set her up on an old, difficult to play veena in the hope that she would be dissuaded. But she took to it with talent and determination, practicing hard enough that Bindhu soon asked her father to buy her a better quality instrument. But even from there the path to mastery was not straightforward - her mother urged her to give up, protesting that the veena’s playing position could damage the uterus.
Jyoti was undeterred (and now has a 29-year old son), going on to learn more of dhrupad’s patient grammar from Indudhar Nirodi and esteemed master Asad Ali Khan. Her acclaimed style largely adheres to Asad’s Khandarbani Gharana, but is also influenced by her continuing expertise in the sitar. She sees her music a form of nāda yoga, based on the ancient Sanskrit premise that all creation consists of nāda, or sound vibrations. Listen to more of Jyoti here:

What an unbelievable story and what an amazing woman! What a loss it would have been if Jyoti-ji had not been able to realize her dream. She is a true inspirationa and absolutely amazing!
You are right....but actually once Shiva wanted to gift creation Meditation through music...so he took two pumpkins put a bamboo stick on them ,used strings and began playing in the Himalayas:;deers birds and other animals came together surrounded him and kept hearing the music::they were devoid of thirst and hunger...They were so overwhelmed by the music that they just cried rejoicing the sheer beauty and the simplicity of the music.....Also Rudra veena is said to be the Father of all other string instruments like Sitar shared which were mere modifications to the original one.....
Since Rudra Veena was for calming meditation, you will feel it's real magic/impact only when you listen to it live...without any mics or sound systems....just sit with someone playing rudra veena ....you don't even need to strike too many notes....1 note slow calm prolonged will do the job!!!!

Delightful woman, wonderful musician. I first heard a Veena on a record almost 50 years ago, having no idea that there were several different versions of the instrument.

Hi Rising Phoenix,
Thanks for your message - It is lovely to hear that you want to learn … I would advise that you firstly search Google for teachers that might be able to teach you and discuss this directly with them.
