With its vastness and depth beyond the sight, Music is often referred to as 'Anantha Saagaram' ( the Infinite Ocean). "Cup O' Carnatic" by Vidushi Dr. Jayanthi Kumaresh, a video series which influenced a lot of viewers, was an effort to handover the flavors of the infinite ocean with the piecemeal approach at the best.
"So many people write to me with queries on Veena and Music. Though initially I tried to answer them individually, due to time constraint, it became difficult. So I thought it will be nice to have a public platform to attend such queries so that every one can access it", Dr. Jayanthi explains the path that lead her to the creation of "Cup O' Carnatic".
Now there is something for the music lovers to enjoy again. Much awaited Season-2 of "Cup O' Carnatic" is about to reach you. The first episode of the second season will be available on youtube and facebook from next Friday 15th June, 2018.
Dr. Jayanthi Kumaresh, the niece of Legendary Violin Guru and Musician Pathmabhooshan Sri Lalgudi Jayaraman, has the Swaras in her blood. She started learning music at a young age of three and went on sharpening the skills with her dedication. She is one of the youngest veena artistes to receive the A-TOP grading, the highest from All India Radio, and had performed at so many esteemed venues across the globe. Also, she had found the place among the torchbearers of Saraswati Veena. It is quite obvious that she started her video series with an episode that emphasizes the importance of saadhakam, the practice. After a short piece on the veena, she starts saying "Practice...! ( then a small delay before she continues)...Practice is the key in becoming a musician".
The lenght of that silence is so accurate like the pauses we see in between the phrases during the concerts of the genius musicians like her. The delay that she gave after the first word 'Practice' before the word 'practice' for the second time, has a such a depth! It stands for more than a million words and conveys the devotion of an artist and the importance the musicians and artists give to the saadhakam. "There is no short-cut to practice. But right practice is the most important thing", she adds. The duration of this first episode is 2.36 minutes.

To motivate young rasikas into enjoying and appreciating Carnatic music, the videos are purposely kept to a shorter duration.Apart from its rich content and the effective presentation, what was so special about the series was its short duration. This in-fact had inspired even the non carnatic music followers to wait for each episode. The goal was that, by the time one finishes a cup of Tea or Coffee, they should have enjoyed the episode. "In today's fast paced world, time is a precious commodity. To motivate young rasikas into enjoying and appreciating Carnatic music, the videos are purposely kept to a shorter duration. The content is chosen in such a way that music students and rasikas will take away something from each episode", says Dr. Jayanthi. The Season-1 ended a few months back with thirteen highly successful episodes.
Now there is something for the music lovers to enjoy again. Much awaited Season-2 of "Cup O' Carnatic" is about to reach you. The first episode of the second season will be available on youtube and facebook from next Friday 15th June, 2018.
