It has been observed that vegetation gets a luxuriant growth on the music melodies. Cows produce increased milk after enjoying music. The basic theory of Acharya Jaimini is that the objects of nature, the plantations, the birds, animals are instant recipients of the musical melodies as they are innocent. The experiences of Acharya Jaimini say that the heights to which human genius can soar, the sublime feelings, the depths of Love and all that the Brahma (Almighty) has created in his delicacy, can best be expressed and felt through the strings of music melodies and probably there can be no better language for such godly experiences. The listeners of Acharya Jaimini are also being benefitted by listening to his music on Sitar, thereby feeling relief from mental stress, tension and sleeplessness, and the various resultant ailments and problem DHRUPAD HERITAGE – Vrindaban, the abode of Lord Krishna, situated on the bank of the Holy river yamuna is known for its devotional classical music “Dhrupad”. Bhagwat Puran states that Lalita Sakhi sang in Dhrupad style during the famous “Raas”-dance. Since then this tradition of ancient form of worship of Lord Krishna has been maintained in the temples of Vrindaban. Dhrupad is a particular north Indian style of classical music related to “Vraja”. This was enriched and elevated to godly heights by the celebrated swamy Haridas of Vrindaban, the Guru of world famous musician Tansen. Acharya Jaimini is taking much interest in preserving the „Dhrupad Heritage, He has made Dhrupad performance possible on sitar with its effective presentation in music concerts. Having delivered lectures at various Universities and music institutions Acharya Jaimini says that, Dhrupad playing on sitar, is not easy because bringing sitar to the depth of Dhrupad “Beenkari & Alapchari” techniques during sitar recital is an extra ordinary thing. This in itself is an effective tranquilizer. Sitar playing being under the “Da-Dir-Daara” strokes, clarity of technical dimensions, deeply presentation of Dhrupad and binding of the flow of “Nom-tom” on mizrab (striker) with “Laykari” (appropriate divisions of speed ) is a practical demonstration of the Dhrupad technique. Acharya Trigunateet Jaimini born, nourished and still living in the vicinity of Nidhiban, the place of swamy Haridas, has been upholding and propagating the same rich tradition on Sitar SOCIAL SERVICESAcharya Trigunateet Jaimini, apart from being visiting professor in Universities and various music institutions, has given memorable performances in various music concerts.

The musical initiative of Acharya Jaimini Thursday evening drew cheers and support from activists, who have been alarmed by the construction frenzy, high level of industrial effluents and toxic waste finding way into the river. "The ghats are vanishing, the lush green forests have disappeared, the birds don't chirp any more, the holy 'kunds' are in a shambles. All over the Braj Mandal you only see concrete structures, the eyesores of modern civilisation," said Acharya Gopi Ballabh Shastri who runs a water hut for the pilgrims in Vrindavan. The musical protest to halt further deterioration of the "Heritage River" was organised by sitar maestro Jaimini. His four-part composition of Indian contemporary classical music was rendered effortlessly but forcefully by a group at the river bank. Speaking to IANS, Jaimini said: "In the first composition the river enters the plains: realization of ancient Yamuna, then after the bridge construction there is a sudden jolt and shock and the holy river shrinks in shock and awe. In this composition, Italian piano player Ranso also performs. Italian guitarist D. Turi is the comusician. These compositions express devotion to Yamuna."

The strains are harmoniously blended with Western musical notes to highlight the destruction and pollution in the river, the concrete structures all over, Jaimini said.
