Je vais bientot hésiter entre un sitar et une veena..............:)
oui, c'est vraiment deux mondes differents, il y a encore qqs années j'ignorais completement la veena, le sitar est assez connu dans le monde occidental. Mais, veena c'est un instrument divin

la déesse Saraswati representée toujours avec cet instrument...Et comme dans la religion indienne :
"La musique indienne a une origine divine, c'est par le son que le dieu Brahmâ a créé l'univers. Le dieu Shiva jouait quant à lui du tambour dameru, et son fils Ganesh jouait lui, comme Hanuman d'ailleurs, du tambour mridang. La déesse Sarasvati, elle, est toujours associée à la vînâ. L'univers a été créé par le son primordial Ôm (à rapprocher de la Génèse et de l'Évangile de Jean) ; le langage dérive des sons du tambour..."
"In the Hindu astronomy, Thula Rasi (in Western Zodiac System - 'LIBRA') contains the star Swathi. This constellation is also described as 'ALPHA CYGNUS' indicating 'hamsa' (swan) which is the seat of Saraswathi. The constellation's name Swathi forms the major part of the Goddess's name 'SaraSW ATHI'. 'Swathi' means white swan. 'Swathi' also indicates 'Swetha' (white colour), and according to our ancient scriptures the Goddess is always adorned in white garments
Many decades ago the scientists and philosophers discovered a cosmic hiss emanating from this constellation. This is the 'nada', the musical resonance that pervades the Universe. It pervades the human body also only to be discovered by one-self within himself. This nada is the mother of all ragas which are expressions of emotions. 'Nada' in all ragas therefore is like gold in all ornaments. The instrument Veena finds description in vedic literature as well as epic literature.
Veena-playing as the highest form of yoga brings about the merging of jeevatma and' ('paramatma only when the veena player handles the veena through the sheer force and power of his 'prana' or 'kundalini shakthi' arising from the mooladhara and not merely by moving his fingers acrass the frets and strings. The 'naadam' of the veena and' the 'kundalini prana' of the veena player entwine together like passionate lovers seeking union to become one. As they unite, they take the shape 'of the finest thread: and make contact with the fingers of the veena player that are already moving across the frets and strings of the veena. Now the veena player is a full-fledged yogi, rendering divine music on the veena and in 'KUMBHAKAM' (neither inhaling nor exhaling - in other words, retention of breath) without effort or consciousness. If the artiste is able to develop and improvise along these lines, at some point it will become possible for him to have the vision of God and to merge with him...."
