Veena Practice
I had my beautiful friend visiting for a get together with our Veena’s. Just the inspiration I needed to continue my practice.
I have been fascinated by the Veena for a very long time
In images of Goddess Saraswati you will always see her with the Veena. Devi Saraswati represents the free flow of wisdom and consciousness.
- Veena stands for Jnaana veena, the icon of all knowledge. When the Veena is played and the musical notes are produced it is as knowledge is radiating out in all directions.
- The sound of the veena stands for the premordial sound of creation .This sound is filled the universe with the vital energy Prana.
- The sound of the Veena represents the melody of mantras (the laws or formulas) that brought order to the initial chaos at the time of creation.
- It is said that the instruments neck is Shiva, the strings are Parvati, the bridge is Lakshmi, the secondary gourd is Brahma and the dragon head is Vishnu and the resonating body is Saraswati.
- My Veena teacher has told me that the instrument is a representation of the human spinal cord and has a positive effect to the nervous system when playing or listening
