You are a blessed born teacher! Please learn the Pakhvaaj and the Tabla drums and post lessons for those in need. The whole world will appreciate you because you are a great de-mystifier. Some teachers confuse students instead of de-mystifying the art and science of percussion. Thanks and Hare Krshna!!!

The correct mantra starts at Jha, but continues in the same pattern. So it's Jha Ge Dhe / Na Ge Dhe / Na -- Tak / Ta Khi Khi Tak ...

[@abhijitb1]

Bhima-Karma Prabhu, thank you for your clarification. You are correct, the cycle begins on the Jha and the kartals play 3-1, 3-1, with 2 being silent. This had been pointed out to me earlier as well, but I had failed to make an update. The guru side should come first. Hare Krishna.

Thanks prabhu!!!

[@kajoljethwa9071]

thank u fr this lesson...could u do a video with d bhajan vrindavan ramyasthan...it also has 2 beats

[@cukerky]

Thank you Abhijit! I always have problem to play mrdanga in such kirtans when they switch to 3 bit.

[@bhimakarma]

actually lopha tal the emphasis is on the 1, the 2 is silent and the 3 is played as a decorative half power strike. So the kartals play 1 and 3,1 and 3,1 and 3. Also this particular tekha/loa has its beginning on the jha not the tak. The guru side of the rhythm is first then the laghu.
