00:00Namaskar, I am Yashwant Vaishnav and I am a student of Pandit Mukund Bhale ji and Pandit Yogesh Shamsi ji.
00:08My initial education was done by my father, Rajendra Vaishnav ji.
00:14Later, I got my education from Dr. Hemant Sasdewa ji.
00:18Then, in the present time, I am getting my education from Pandit Yogesh Shamsi ji.
00:22I have got my education from Pandit Mukund Bhale ji in Khairagad from Punjab Gharana and Farukhabad Gharana.
00:29I have started playing tabla from the age of 3.
00:33Even today, I am learning tabla and I am trying to do something good.
00:39So, this is how I started.
00:42Sir, you have been learning tabla from the age of 3.
00:45At the age of 3, what did the child know, what to do?
00:49How did you come to know that I have a career in this?
00:53Yes, there has always been a musical environment in our house.
00:57My father himself was a tabla player.
01:01At home, some people from my mother's family also used to play tabla.
01:07My mother also used to play tabla a little.
01:10So, I started playing tabla after seeing my father.
01:14So, in a way, I can say that there was a musical environment in our house.
01:19And seeing them, the way children play with music or anything,
01:25they gave me that as a toy.
01:30And today I am playing tabla on it.
01:33This is a very big thing for me.
01:35Sir, you mentioned Punjab Gharana in the middle.
01:37Yes, yes.
01:38Punjab Gharana.
01:39Yes, yes.
01:40What is the specialty of Punjab Gharana?
01:45See, Punjab Gharana is one of the six gharanas of our tabla.
01:52And my great guruji, Abbaji Ustad Allah Rakhakhar Sahib,
02:00then great guruji, Ustad Zakir Hussain ji,
02:03Vibhushan Ustad Zakir Hussain ji,
02:05then my guruji, Pandit Yogesh Shamsi ji.
02:07So, I had always heard all of them.
02:10When I used to play tabla before,
02:12I used to listen to all of them.
02:14So, in a way, I wanted to play the tabla of Punjab Gharana too.
02:20Because I really liked the specialty of that gharana.
02:25I really liked all the specialties.
02:27Different compositions, bandishes, there are a lot of things in it.
02:30Sir, you mentioned that there are six different gharanas.
02:34Yes.
02:35Sir, what is the difference between the gharanas?
02:38See, in a gharana, every gharana has a different speciality.
02:43For example, in our tabla, there is a composition called Kaida.
02:50The Delhi gharana is very famous.
02:54From there, the Kaida was born.
02:56There is a lot of speciality in such words.
03:02Then there is Farrukhabad, Lucknow, Ajrada, Banaras, then Punjab Gharana.
03:09So, there are different specialties in such different gharanas.
03:14So, the way everyone plays the tabla of every gharana,
03:17someone has a specialty in the Banaras gharana,
03:21someone in the Punjab gharana, someone in Farrukhabad.
03:24So, in this way, we can define that this is the gharana.
03:29Nowadays, everyone plays the tabla.
03:31So, the tabla is one.
03:33It's just that everyone has a different style of playing.
03:36Sir, you are going to perform in Saptak today.
03:38What will you perform?
03:40Yes, this is my fifth or sixth time playing Saptak.
03:44And I have been involved in Saptak for a long time.
03:49I am fortunate that I got the blessing of Pandit Nandan Mehta ji
03:53when I was very young.
03:54I was 14-15 years old.
03:55I played in the Sankalp program.
03:58And there, he taught me a couple of fardh.
04:01At that time, I was not able to talk that much due to my health.
04:04But whatever he used to talk a little bit,
04:07he taught me a couple of bandishes in that.
04:10So, I still remember that. I still play.
04:13And this is my fifth or sixth time playing Saptak.
04:16And today's presence, what we are saying in 25,
04:21we know how we have a very big artist,
04:25a very big guru, a very big tabla player,
04:28Padma Vibhoshan Ustad Zakir Hussain ji.
04:31So, today's program, I would like to keep as a presence in their feet.
04:36And Vidushi Manju Mehta ji,
04:38whose love I have received a lot.
04:40Whenever I have come to Saptak, I have always received love.
04:44So, I want to keep my presence in the feet of those two great artists and gurus.
