What is Teleconferencing?
Now days, we hear a lot about Teleconferencing. Teleconferencing is a system of holding conferences by television. It enables people to hold simultaneous face-to –face-public conferences with people in several cities. People who need to get together for discussions need no longer to travel to the same place to hold a conference. They can now communicate with each other by a form of television sent over telephone lines or via satellites. The system is not like television in the home. The people can see each other on a large screen in their own rooms and talk easily to anyone taking part. Computers handle the transmission of the sound and pictures, using a very clever system. A computer at each end holds the picture in its memory. But after initially transmitting the whole picture, the sending computer only transmits the part that moves. The receiving computers mix the still and moving parts so that a complete picture is always shown on the screen.

Hindustani classical music
Rasa and rang do play a significant role in Hindustani classical music. But, its spiritual life force or prana has much deeper roots.

Anhad naad, the unstruck sound or naad has been mentioned by saints like Kabir and Mira, as the music heard within the depths of one's being. Anhad naad is a divine melody, a celestial music which is transcendent, beyond the senses and intellect.

It can neither be sung nor heard. It can be contacted by the soul alone. Anhad naad and soul are in essence the same as God. There is therefore a natural spiritual magnetic attraction between them. So when a listener's soul is turned towards the anhad naad within it is drawn like a needle to a magnet.

In the realm of Nirakar, the Unmanifest Supreme God, like every thing else in Creation, music too is in its potentiality only. But this potentiality is the thing that eventually takes form ‘ aakaar’ as music in our physical world when sung or played.

The pleasure or satisfaction experienced by the listener as rasa and rang is due to the union of the manifest music with the unmanifest anhad naad deep within the listener.

The relationship between the listener's soul and anhad naad within her being is like that between the struck baaj ke taar strings of a sitar and its unstruck sympathetic strings or tarben which resonate only by the vibrations caused by the struck strings.

The musicality of the sound produced by the struck strings is hollow and incomplete without the complementary sound lent by the sympathetic unstruck strings. That is why sitar maestros give so much time and attention to the fine-tuning of the tarben.

The same applies to the listener of Hindustani classical music. The more finely attuned are her soul and the inner celestial melody, the deeper and more fulfilling will be the music heard by her. This is why everybody does not appreciate or enjoy music to the same extent or intensity. The fine-tuning of body and soul differs from person to person.

Every lover of classical Hindustani music may not be aware of the anhad naad within, like an accomplished saint, but anhad is very much there as an integral part of the Supreme Akhand and Anant or Oneness of the unmanifest or Nirakar and the manifest or Sakar.

Omkaar is the point of union between the unmanifest and the manifest. Omkaar emanates from the hridayakash or heart space of Brahmn. And from His divine game emanates the seven swaras i.e. nishad, rishabh, gandhar, sadaj, madhyam, dhaiwat and pancham. Brahmn is ‘ Shabdabrahmaswaroop ’. He is manifest when audible (Omkaar or Om+aakaar) and unmanifest when dormant and formless as "OM" in Brahmn.

Only a true and perfect maestro can join the disciples' soul with the anhad naad within. We cannot achieve this by reading books or listening to the recordings of past maestros. Anhad naad is a transcendent entity and therefore cannot be conveyed or given to others indirectly. Reciprocity is a must. Only a living person can open the current of the divine melody within us. If his own soul has awakened to this anhad naad, he can awaken other souls too.

Our own zeal and practice do matter, but these too are part of the guru's grace only. The guru, performing artist's soul, the listener's soul, God and anhad naad, are one and the same. Little wonder then that Pandit Amarnath finds bhakti bhav the essential underlying rasa in Hindustani classical music. But bhakti bhav is the outcome of the spiritual roots of Hindustani music. It is not the other way round.

Samrat is a 26 yr old HR professional. On a regular day he reaches office around 10 am and logs in, going into various online communities and chat-rooms. He leaves office around 6:30pm and logs in as soon as he reaches home. He is online almost as long as he is awake. Samrat is only one of the numerous people who live more in the virtual world than in the real one around them.Samrat knows that.” Life is hectic and it’s very difficult for me to visit and call up my friends on a regular basis. It is far easier to keep in touch with them on line, since most them are on line too. But it is true that the virtual world is becoming very real for us. We are moving away from the world around us.” he says.………………………………………………………………………CourtesyTelegraph
I Derive Joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the ten minutes joy that I derive from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha
