Some useful pieces of information about Sri Mridanga:
The Mridanga is respected just like Krishna s paraphernalia because it is an expansion of His flute (therefore an expansion of Balaram).
• The Mridanga’s sound evokes auspiciousness just like the Conch-shell’s sound.
• The Pranam Mantra (on the cover-page) should be recited before playing / practicing.
• Mridanga playing is a type of Yoga, hence it s important to have a daily practice of 2 (two) hours or more
• By seriously practicing the Hand Sadhana Mantras and Fingering Sadhana Mantras you achieve 80% of your Mridanga learning. The
remaining 20% are the learning of rhythm of Playing Mantras. y
• Reciting aloud the Mantrs that you re playing along with playing, will help you to sing and play together
• The clay-made khol produces the best sound.
• For Mridanga with leather heads, avoid placing him on a wooden / ceramic floor on his head because the leather may absorb humidity and

it s healthy for the Mridanga .o be played-on daily or every two days (keeps the tuning and the tension of the straps in good condition).
. While playing in Kirtan / Bhajan, follow the Kirtan leader and play softer than the song so as not to cover the song with the Mridanga's

The Kartals may be compared to the salt in the food we eat: sometimes one can do without them
For junior Mridanga players it is important to follow behind an experienced player.
• Terms:
1. Tihai - a break or finishing repetition of one Mantra (usually the repetition is 3 times).
When played as a break (usually small Tihai) it should coincide with the beginning of the following
Mantra {by‘dropping’the last note i.e.-TERE KHETA JHA IE RE KHETA JHA TERE KHETA (JHAt - don’t play the last (JHA) This
does not apply to 32-IYtatra Tihais}. - '
When you play small Tihai as a finish, play the full Tihai.
Tihans played normally at the rama rama hare hare or at the hare hare parts of the Kirtan, depending on the
speed of the Kirtan. K a
