The Musical Journey – The Steps Ahead
Mukta Mehta - The Belief
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, born
and brought up in Jammu, had an inclination towards music since her childhood.
A Gold Medalist 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 embarked 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 imbibed 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 to 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”.
Beginning of A Musical Journey
Swar Kala Sangam is a music academy in Gurgaon, was
started was started 37 years ago by Prof. B.S.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 Bali "to excel in the field of Classical Music, a person has to be Broad minded, 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. B.S. Bali’s mission took a new turning when he was Supported by his own
daughter and disciple Ms. Mukta Monish Mehta and Guruji's Sons Mr. Jayant Joshi
Ji and Pt. Srinivas Joshi Ji to take the Learning Forward. Led by Ms. Mukta
Mehta, Swar Kala Sangam is dedicated to impart training and knowledge of Music
and Dances to the Students interested and dedicated to live their life in the
field of Music.
The Academy and Way Forward
Pt. Bhimsen Joshi Sangeet Academy's "Swar Kala Sangam Formed by Ms.
Mukta Monish Mehta along with her father and Panditji’s disciple Prof. B.S.Bali
and guidance and direction from Mr. Jayant Joshi and Mr. 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 of today. 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 has
to be done. This helps in Maintaining the Physical, Mental and Emotional
Health.
Art is a long-term asset and each should blossom as a skill 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 vigor and strength in one’s life.
There is no dearth of talent in India but one needs to give them the right
