A.R.Rahman
A.R Rahman’s two biggies at the Oscars will sure bring in the opened gates for the Indian talents in and around the world. Though Indians recognise Rahman with more powerful music that he has provided us with in the past. But the Oscars sure will lift up more and more newer forms of convergence with Indian talent houses. Rahman performed the two hit tracks “Jai Ho” and “O Saya” at the ceremony, amidst thunderous applause.
Rahman bagged his awards for the Best Original Score and Best Song (Jai Ho). Both the Awards went for the track ‘Jai Ho’. Rahman was as shy as he always is. He took his award, gave his speech and seemingly ran off the stage. The musical magician created a furore for the Danny Boyle film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. His track has been hummed by several Global citizens for the fast few weeks. With awards galore and now the Big Daddy in his Bag, Rahman will be counted more than he ever has been.
Rahman delivered as simple a speech as possible which again was heart warming to listen to. Rahman said : “Before coming here I was excited and terrified. It felt like as if it was a marriage. I thank my mother for her blessings and also the Academy. I would also like to thank all the crew and my musicians. All my life I had a choice of hate and love. I chose love and I am here God is great.”

A.R.Rehman and his universe are one, all parts are but the various players and their instruments. The law of harmony holds all united, each slightest tone having its related sub- and overtones, its essential modulations. The universe is a temple of eternal symphonic harmony, composed of seven Tones. This is the doctrine of the Music of the Spheres, from Lemuria to Pythagoras, showing that there are seven powers of terrestrial and sublunary nature, and seven great Forces. According to this doctrine the world was itself called forth out of Chaos by Sound or Harmony, and constructed according to the principles of musical proportion. Evolution, above and below, proceeds in seven ways; these seven ways or tones are also the seven notes of the musical scale, which are the principles of Sound.
The Secret Doctrine avers that ancient peoples knew more of the secret side of music than has passed to posterity. Adept-kings and divine teachers, at periods too remote for the historian, were the first Instructors of the human family in the arts and sciences. Every ancient legend ascribes magic power to music, “the most divine and spiritual of the arts,” asserting that music is a gift and science “coming straight from the gods.” A.R.Rehman, more especially, attribute to divine revelation all the arts and sciences. But with them music stands at the head of everything else. Their Mantra Shastra has for its subject matter the force or power of letters, speech, or music in all its manifestations. Sound (tonal modulations) may be produced of such a nature that the pyramid of Cheops could be raised in the air … or a dying man be revived and filled with new energy and vigor.
