Jega captures sound on canvas
Jeganathan has a very unique passion for sound. What he means by sound here is not the sound of music, but sound appreciation. "Music is about melodies and lyrics but sound is about emotional patterns, " says Jeganathan. Thus, he does not consider himself as a musician, eventhough he can play the veenai and tambura.
Jeganathan has been conducting studies on sounds and has discovered the points where sounds are produced in the body. Using this, he has done paintings to depict the sounds (pic). For example, he says that the note "sa" starts from the chakra in the stomach and ascends upwards till it reaches the head.
Jeganathan shares this knowledge with his students, both the young and adult through his sound appreciation class which is held every fridays, from 7.00pm to 8.30 pm. He teaches them how to chant basic mantras in the correct manner and to invoke the chakras which helps to create a balance within themselves.
