Drums, drums, drums

Posted On: Sat, 2008-05-31 02:03 by sitapati

I've been doing some investigation into drums and drumming lately.

Param Satya plays the tabla. I've been playing mrdanga for a few years now, and recently I've taken up doumbek (aka darbuka, tarambuka, egyptian tabla and more), and djembe.

Prahlad plays mrdanga, doumbek, and djembe.

We have a kirtan retreat coming up with drumming workshops and a drumming circle, so all these drums will come in handy. There are a few more at Atma as well.

We're also investigating designs, materials, and production lines for producing mrdangas locally and globally.

Vedic Civilization = Manu Samhita + Kama Sutra

Vedic Civilization =




+


Vedic Civilization means both Manu Samhita and Kama Sutra.

Trying to implement a "Vedic civilization" with only either one or the other is a fantasy and is "the logic of half a hen" ardha-kukkuti nyaya.

That's why this "men and women" stuff is the province of grhastas and adminstrators, not brahmacaris and sannyasis.

Trying to introduce social dharma without social artha and kama will be a disaster.

If you're a brahmacari and you want to be a commentator on what women should do and how Srila Prabhupada's vision should be applied in the area of gender relations, then get some credibility - get a wife.

Otherwise, stick to the brahman stuff - that's the meaning of the word "brahmacari".
