The Eternal Echo: Heritage in Harmony
“तस्मात् नादात्मकं जगत्” — In this eternal vision of Bharat lies the origin of our journey, where the universe is recognized as the sacred resonance of Sound. This journey is deeply rooted in the foundational vision of Gwalior Darbar Gayanacharya late Pt. Balabhau Umdekar “Kundalguru.” Today, the historic essence of the Chatur Academy of Indian Music (Est. 1927) and Chatur Sangeet Mahavidyalay finds its Dynamic Continuation through the distinct and independent identity of VEENA VENU. Established by Dr. Radhika Veenasadhika, Veena Venu is the living bridge that transforms ancestral wisdom into a global standard for conscious living.As the central body, the Veena Venu Art Foundation and its Legacy Gurukul serve as a sanctum for the refinement of human consciousness. Here, we are building a ‘Bharat within Bharat’—a space where Naad, Tattva, Adhyatam, Kala, Chikitsa, and Atmabodh converge to unify the intellect (Buddhi), mind (Manas), and self (Atma). Music here is not merely an art form; it is the primordial energy of the cosmos—a disciplined path to awaken and transform the seeker. In this evolved phase, we present a vast spectrum of over 100 structured and certified programs, meticulously designed to blend musical excellence with spiritual depth, philosophical clarity, and an unwavering Indic rootedness.All programs are certified by VVIECC (Veena Venu International Education & Certification Council). Selected programs also operate under academic affiliations with Sura Bharti Sangeet Parishad, Kolkata and Suro Bharati Sangeet Kala Kendra, Kolkata, aligned with ISO-certified learning standards. For examinations, our preparation pathway is mapped to the framework of Akhil Bhartiya Gandharva Mahavidyalay Mandal, Mumbai. At Veena Venu, students get trained systematically from the foundational stages through Graduation and Post-Graduation (Master’s) level in Indian Music, with complete guidance for theory, practical, and prescribed syllabus-work. We support students with the examination application process and documentation wherever applicable; examinations are conducted at the authorised centres of the respective external institution, and all evaluation, results, and the final certificate or degree are issued exclusively by that external university/college or examination body.
