My Story

Namaste, I’m Ramana. Veena is my main thing, but honestly, music is music - I end up playing mridangam, sitar, singing, whatever. Sometimes my brain goes off on weird tangents, like imagining chess as ragas on the veena! My thatha, simple man, strict but sweet - I used to prank him with Kurkure, and he’d grumble, ‘Chi yennada idhu masala va potrukaan!’ (What’s this masala!) but still eat it. I find inspiration everywhere - monkeys meditating, old masters, even random moments. Always searching for that stillness.

My Work

Veena Performances & Collaborations - I play solo, team up with others, and bring in my multi-instrumentalist Carnatic artist side.

Advanced Veena Workshops - My veenopasana workshops are intense 4-hour sadhana for those ready to dive deep. Think gamaka shuddham training, fretboard control, stamina.

Teaching Style - I find shortcuts, mnemonics, practical tricks. Whatever helps you learn, I’ll try it.

Concerts & Pallavi Exploration - Every concert is a test and a game. I love complex Pallavi exploration, even if I mess up sometimes.

My Musical Philosophy - Kanakku and bhava? Not enemies. I try to blend math and melody so it just feels natural.
