Namaste. Welcome to the infinite world of arts and culture from India as well as its eternal wisdom, grace and wonder. My mission is that arts and sciences from India are spread with grace and authenticity, and this is the core focus of all my activities, projects and music.

 


The ancient sages and Rishis from India possessed profound wisdom about the science of Sound and its impact on human physiology and psychology.

This wisdom has been embedded in the tradition and science of Mantra, which aims to elevate human consciousness.

"Mantras don't need music. Yet, some prepared musicians use the texts of Mantras because they have a musical understanding that honors and supports the energy of the sacred texts from Vedas and Upanishads. I always tell my students who wish to do Mantras in a musical way, one has to have a training and a deep preparation in this field, it is not possible to just insert any kind of music. This, plus the Sanskrit knowledge, which is another must. In this way, the presentation of mantras, kirtan, bhajans from India can always remain authentic and united in body, heart and soul." Manish.

“If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered over the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions of some of them which well deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant, I should point to India. And if I were to ask myself from what literature we may draw the corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more perfect, more comprehensive, more universal, in fact more truly human a life... again I should point to India.”

—from "India: what can it teach us" by Max Müller (1823-1900)

The basic structures in which compositions of Indian music are made are called Ragas. The word Raga means 'that which charms' or 'that which colors'. The use of ragas is a key aspect when composing music for texts, poems, mantras and lyrics from this tradition.

Manish Vyas has an unmatched talent for rhythm, as he has for melody. Born in India but having traveled the globe, he shares his rare ability to bring you the authentic feel of meditative Indian music in such a unique way that it never makes you feel alien, but rather just at home.

Prem Joshua

Germany

Manish Vyas's musical talents place him at the forefront of a new generation of artists who have experienced an abiding and intimate connection with both their guru and the modern world. His music ranges far and wide - from the pulsing beats of the dance floor to music for relaxation and soaring imagination. But it always reflects his spiritual, Indian musical roots.

The multi-talented Vyas blends elements of Indian pop, folk music and poetry to create a lush sounscape, that's perfect for any occasion.

"A person does not hear sound only through the ears, he hears sound through every pore of his body - it permeates the entire being, and according to its particular influence either slows or quickens the rhythm of the blood circulation; it either wakens or soothes the nervous system. It arouses a person to greater passions or it calms him by bringing him peace." Hazrat I. Khan

learning Indian music
- an honest approach -

I've learned Indian music for 35 years (and still learning) from a few maestros in Rajkot, Pune and Mumbai, Bhārat (India) starting with the foundations of Indian classical music - Tabla being my first instrument - when i was about 10 years old. I also studied Sanskrit during my years at school, which I'm still studying. That's why I'm confident to humbly perform and share teachings with roots in Indian music, mantra and other styles which require a vast understanding of the eastern music style: scales, raga, rhythm, composition, rasa, cultural background and last but not least: the correct use of the language being presented.
 
In a 'new age' market where Indian music got populated with non-trained performers and even teachers without preparation, it is important not to get confused by wrong sources, making an effort in trying to distinguish what is what if one is interested in the real. Mantra and Kirtan are also no exception to this - they come from India, and should be performed connecting to the source, honoring this tradition and following a certain music frame... besides using the correct pronunciation. Beyond honoring the sacred texts, mantra is a sound which works as a call, therefore pronunciation is key, more than intention and meaning.

Indian music is much, much more that just adding a Sanskrit text to a melody and play an instrument on it. If one loves the arts and music from India and wishes to learn, one has to first know it requires a lot of patience, commitment, dedication, practice and very important, a teacher who had been trained in that culture, who can transmit it earnestly and guide the student to the right port. Any promises of shallow fast courses are misleading and will only compromise the true essence of this ancient tradition.

One must understand this is a millenary culture of more than ten thousand years, so ancient that it can really not be traced, and with strong roots in spirituality which was inspired by wise beings, who dedicated all their life to this and were able to touch spaces in the most hidden corners of sound, allowing to unfold its natural powers when rightly approached.


I have never compromised commercially nor do i give any false expectations. It has always been my view and responsibility to communicate with transparency while passing over whatever i little know about this tradition to those truly interested from the spiritual, creative, therapeutic and artistic points of view, knowing in the first place that I will always remain a student in this bottomless world of music, sciences and arts from India.

There are sounds that can awaken the higher potentials of the brain and change the flow of energy in the nervous system.

A sound has a unique pattern that sustains all we do, and allows our energies to move and grow, or stagnate and decline.

Unless we learn to harmonize our inner sound vibrations,
our lives will likely remain in disharmony.
