Indian classical music today, is one of the greatest gifts of India to the world.

Divine Power of Music:

Although Dhari Pancham’ Da will never claim herself to be greater than her music, witnesses often discuss legendary incidents that have taken the power of her music to utterly incredible levels. Her ardent rendition of Raag Megh Malhar has brought unseasonal showers upon drought-hit soil..

.All this also makes it credible that God does work in mysterious ways and it is not an exaggeration when Dhari Pancham ‘Da herself claims that very often she is caught unawares as she finds herself  at a point of Samadhi whilst singing. It is only when she becomes conscious of the state that the divine link gets severed. And she can then, merely relate it as an extraordinary experience to others.

Importance of Music Therapy

MUSIC THERAPY - "For - Brain, Body & Soul "

Music has frequently been used as a therapeutic agent from the ancient times. Music is a kind of yoga system through the medium of sonorous sound, which acts upon the human organism and awakens and develops their proper functions to extent of self-realization. This is the ultimate goal of Hindu Philosophy and religion. Melody is the key-note of Indian Music. The 'Raga' is the basis of melody. Various 'Ragas', have been found to be very effective in curing many diseases. 

How Music Helps?

Music helps in the treatment of actual diseases in the following manners:-

1. One obvious use of music is that of a sedative. It can replace the administration of tranquillizers, or at least reduce the dosage of tranquillizers.

2. Music increases the metabolic activities within the human body. It accelerates the respiration, influences the internal secretion, improves the muscular activities and as such affects the "Central Nervous System" and Circulatory System of the listener and the performer.

The modern revival of music therapy has not yet sufficiently progressed to indicate its full utility. Several problems immediately invite further research. Under existing conditions, it would seem advisable to broaden the foundation of musical research. Not only to advance the ethical and moral rights of the human being, but also to prevent, if possible, the negative and destructive influences which may be due to ignorance of the laws governing the effects of sound and rhythm. It is obvious that the psychological effect of the therapeutic music would be greater if the patient understood that the scientific foundation of the procedure had been thoroughly established. Physiological, Psychological, Physical, Moral, Intellectual, and Spiritual effects of music confirm the supremacy of Indian Music.
Principles of Music Therapy: -

Music Therapy is now in the experimental and implementation stage.  The ancient system is gradually being transformed in to a modern science. India classical 'Ragas' have been acclaimed to have healing effects .They stimulate the brain, ease tension and remove fatigue. The effect of Music Therapy may be immediate or slow, depending upon number of factors like the subject, his/her mental condition, environment and the type of Music selected for having the desired effect. Music Therapy largely depends on individual needs and taste. The use of Music as therapy is based on scientific and clinical approach and has to be used with great care and deep study of the nature of illness. Before using music as Therapy it must be ascertained which type of music is to be used. The concept of Music Therapy is dependent on correct intonation and right use of the basic elements of music. Such as notes [swara] rhythm, volume, beats, and piece of melody. There are countless 'Ragas', of course with countless characteristic peculiarities of their own. That is why we can not establish a particular Raga for a particular disease. Different types of Ragas are applied in each different case.




How Do I Apply Music Therapy?

When we use term Music Therapy, we think world -wide system of therapy. Literature of Vocal part of Indian Classical Music is not sufficient in that case. I apply the formula of three ' Ps ' -


i] Perfect Time, - It includes duration, span, interval and time to play the music .
ii] Perfect Direction - It includes posture and conditions to listen the music.
iii] Perfect Force - It includes Tone, sound quality and volume of Medicative Music.
i] Music Learned, ii] Music Lovers, iii] Non-Musical.

Remember there are three categories of patients .

Swar Yatra of Dr. Dhari Pancham’Da
Pioneer Of the Guinness World Records In the Indian Classical Music
10 World Records Holder

Pancham, an Academy of Indian Music, is now a realized dream of the charioteer Shri
Bhupendrabhai Pandit. The religious services to Akhand Jyot of Maa Saraswati were
initiated on the auspicious day of Dashera, the 15th October 2002. Shri Bhupendrabhai
... Pandit is indebted to his Guruji (his father) for this heavenly inspiration.
Dhari Pancham'da's splendid debut in the field of Hindustani classical Music crowned
the Academy and marked the beginning of her journey to MARGI MUSIC.
Dhari had to undergo the rigorous training of the Indian Classical Music as Shri
Bhupendrabhai Pandit, the guruji,closely observed, supervised and directed her path of
Swar Yatra. As a result she was awarded for her all performances at the college too.
She has been doing her RIYAZ with diligence, devotion and dedication and assisting
the guruji in different directions in teaching the junior students. This in turn helped her
understanding the core of each SWAR.
Dashera being the Birth Day of Guruji, every year religious services are offered in the
form of Swarabhishek to Akhand Jyot of Maa Saraswati. Dhari Pancham'da has always
taken the lead actively. Last year in 2007 she offered the swarabhishek incessantly for
61 hours with her seven disciples (Guruji completed 61 years too)
Again in 2008 MARGI MEGA YAJNA was offered to Akhand Jyot of Maa Saraswati
in which Dhari Pancham'da performed for 62 hours with 212 BANDISH in 109 distinct
Ragas celebrating the 62nd Birth Day of her Guruji. This Yajna is recorded by the
GUINNESS WORLD RECORD as "THE LONGEST CONCERT" The rendition of
these Ragas divinely elevated the sentiments of those who witnessed the Yajna. She
proved herself the embodiment of all the values of classical music from start to finish of
the MARGI MEGA YAJNA.
Again in 2010 She made MARGI SANGEET AKHAND MAHA YAGNA respectively
:
• On 4th July for 13 Hours, 13 Minutes & 13 Seconds offered to Megh Raja.
• On 10th & 11th July 29 Hours, 29 Minutes & 29 Seconds offered to Maa
Saraswati.
• On 22nd to 24th August 49 Hours, 49 Minutes & 49 Seconds dedicated to Pt.
Babaldas Pandya.
• On 2nd to 5th September 69 Hours, 69 Minutes & 69 Seconds dedicated to Pt.
Vishnu Digambar Paluskar.
• And on 14th to 17th October 81 Hours, 81 Minutes & 81 Seconds with 121 Ragas
and 225 Bandhis dedicated to Pt. Krishnakant Parikh and for that She got
GUINNESS WORLD RECORD again under the head of “Longest Singing
Marathon by an Individual”
Four generation of Guruji’s during the span of 150 years have enriched this heritage of
Musical island, a unique gift of Maa Saraswati. Above all Maa Saraswati’s divine
presence and her choicest blessing made this impossible dream, an Unforgettable
Reality.
