The Flute and the magic around it | Rasika | TEDxGITAMUniversity

Playing a musical instrument has been a talent many are proud of. Innovations with a musical instrument remains the elusive dream for an artist. Rasika shows you the how music and innovation can be a perfect mix.
She has been a pioneer in bringing out innovations with various musical instruments, The Bansuri taking the top spot. She has been an integral part of the Coke Studio - MTV.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Even scriptures say, Krishna played the flute for 16 years of his life. But then he gifted it to Radha and later on. It was Radha who played the flute for her entire life in the memory of the love Krishna was.

[@ashtalk8]

You remind me of my mom, she asked me to pick flute, she is no more but i still live by her inspirations

[@adityakaushal2751]

Hope you are still playing 🙏🏻

[@AniSKZ4141]

We are the lucky ones...you do the hard work of learning the bansuri and we sit back and enjoy the divinity in your talent...great Rasika!

[@prateekgurjar1651]

Anila Sivakumaran you will never know the joy of playing flute, you are unlucky, but she isnt lucky either. She practised flute.

She said something important in the last: "At times we constrict our own thoughts for ourselves perhaps unintentionally unknowingly in a subtle way, we place these barriers on our perceptions that kinda hinder our thought, for whatever reason because you read something, someone said something, we tend to hide in the cocoon of our thoughts. Whats important to really try and do is kinda gauge now and then what these restrictions are and we can kinda overcome them. Its not easy to do so, but its a process. What kind of helps is at least it helped me is if you look into yourself for answers and if you push your own boundaries for youself first, kinda open your mind to widen your taste, I think things kinda fall in place. Thats what happened to me, for me it was acquiring these knowledge, absorbing the music, pushing the boundaries just for myself. When I looked at this in this way, I felt like all these barriers and constrictions kind of blurreed out and made no sense anymore. Thats something I think kind of helps. It not just music, it applies to anything."

[@karthikpolasani3038]

Well articulated. We can do anything&everything, we must put our efforts, and be persistent to achieve what we want. All perceived boundaries can fall apart.

[@Sharvyg]

[@lakhbirsingh4403]

At the end I reached where you wanted your audience to be. "Be yourself, Do good and enjoy being you everything else will just fade away with time". Great thought and thanks for sharing it with us.

[@carnagekabuto9759]

She actually showed us 3 skills that she's really good at: 1) Playing the flute in Carnatic style, 2) Singing in Hindustani style, 3) Speaking in public.

[@VIVEKKUMAR-ys5el]

Rasika , you have blown my conciousness with the sweetness of your flute n your smile. Wonderful experience n would love to hear you again n again. 👍

[@RajeshSharma-vl2st]

Rasika is really gifted by God an engineer flute player and a very meldous voice in singing

[@gyananchan4256]

no she practised. A god's gift would have been discovered by her. Her learning abilities could be called a gift, not her flute skills.

Wow.. Thats gr8.

[@Crashof2008]

Hello, I too play bansuri and had some self doubting, etc. One helpful concept my guru instilled in me was simply to focus on listening to the sound I make. Everything is secondary to the sound, the actual tone produced. Once that is correct, everything else falls into place.
