[Ciphur]

Such beautiful music !

Wonder why it is called 'ganja' music.

I know ganja means cannabis, but what is the relation here ?

[teamjakexx]

@mythbuster523 only the beat

[teamjakexx]

@mythbuster 523 only the beat is similar

[RBRUCEANGUS]

Ravi lives down the street from me here in SanDiego's north county



[Takiado]

Indian spiritualities are the only ones that have reached nirvana and have religions with no deities. Of course there are some that still have gods but they are the only area of the world that HAS religions without deities as well. They are very ahead of the rest of the humans as far as spirituality and metaphysics.

[nineball28]

superb artist, relax and enjoy, and now breasts please!!!!

[MyBastardlyWays]

I would actually be a dolphin insted a human. no more worries, man! just cruuuuuz .

[TpowerTES]

@MyBastardlyWays

if you were a dolphin you couldnt listen to great music like this.

[mythbuster523]

Anyone else hear "Devil's Haircut" by Beck?

[DaniloVandamme]

VERY POSITIVE GOOD

[KaligulaLoves]

Afghanistan WAS India!

[annettevargas746]

@KaligulaLoves

Really?

[Anomki]

Wonderful vibes :)

The criminalization of the world's most useful and versatile plant, Cannabis/Hemp/Marijuana/Ganja, was Unconstitutional ... a crime against humanity and nature.

[jayde2black]

u only know that ganja is from afghan coz of the afghan kush, india is heritage to so many things, that most idiots nowdays have forgotten or dont even know. if u were to go to indian be it a place as hot as lucknow or even as cold as darjeeling, u'd see weed growing, from road sides to hills, through walls even. just remember what cannabis is, its a weed.

[bradabram]

this song right here makes me 1000 times more stoked to start playing sitar. Ravi, you're a god!

[IvKe93]

beautiful music and sights

[Nubriusdaguildbraker]

who played this song?

[kingboop3]

anyone know the ocean in the video?

[ehwPOP]

thankyou, this has chilled my nerves for my exam :)

[miklauroobere]

just roll me a nice big spliff, turn up the volume and turn out the lights!!!

[noisydope]

those dolphins are having so much fun! i love them.

[william44surf]

o começo lembra um pouco beatles

[tutuwearingfreak]

I've been looking for this song for years!!!

[100qawsed]

Yeah yo we smoked that GANJA on the daily ;) ganja is a slang term for marijuana, sadhus in india smoke pot all day who probably listen to this type of music.. which is ganja music for them :) SMOKE THAT KUSH ALL DAY.

[green4livesystems]

absolut awsome shit really thx for upload

[frigidnorthlands]

This is not Pandit Ravi Shankar.

The track is by the Dave Pike Set and the sitar is played by Paul Weller.

It is a real shame that sitar & Indian classical music has an association with cannabis use in the West. A real shame.

If you are new to sitar, listen to some Vilayat Khan or Nikhil Banerjee or some other classical players to get an idea of what this music is really about.

[LiqweedFTW]

@frigidnorthlands classical Indian music the sitar, tabla e.g. blesses you with spiritual enlightenment. I have no doubt certain drugs like cannabis can be used for that purpose as well. when you combine the two something extraordinary happens. Ive grown up in the west but have a father which is indian and there is nothing I enjoy more than listening to music such as Ravi shankar especially when im high ^^

[mattukenobaka]

i have an album of the concert Ravi gave at Woodstock. . .and he's directly responsible for the benefit concert as we now know it. when East Pakistan split from West Pakistan and became Bangladesh, war ensued. Ravi went to George Harrison (Beatles) to see what could be done for the suffering people, and they put together the Concert for Bangladesh (numerous videos on YouTube and other sites). all the money from the concert & recordings went to the people. concerts since follow their lead.

[rromyja24]

Simply magnificent!! I love you baby Forever ,<3<3 Namaste'

[rabbitspliff]

that's insanely good. when the drums kicked in, i couldn't help smiling.

[JaKaRe36]

Am I the only one who keeps expecting to hear some slamming cypress hill come in?

[SAS3223]

wow i thought the dolphin was gunna eat me

stoner 4 life!

[Givarius]

Care for our planet as it cares for us, treat other as you would like to be treated. Peace to all

[falsepride]

Ever hear Bob's Marley's, "Trenchtown rock"? This is "Head shop rock"!!!!

[MrJbeam233]

nice...and chill...

[atkinslow]

this is fun but the rythym is too repetitive I appreciate a more traditional tabla with the correct rythym constructs

[missbeany8]

The artist is Dave Pike, the tune is called mathar.

Love it.

[Robospace]

I think it's a remix of the song "indian vibes" by mathar, good song but impossible to find other than the music vid on youtube.

[pranavjd]

Wow. You people amaze me.

After listening to this divine music for 7 minutes, you decide to waste time on where ganja was first made....god be with the musicians whose audience is made of you.

[YossarianTheMeerkat]

There's evidence of Cannabis use as early as 6000 BC in China. Plus the afghans are indo-iranian, before 2,500 BC Indo Europeans had the same culture and language. They think its use was popularized in the middle ages like 10th century by Persians in Afghanistan buts pinpoining its first use is elusive. The oldest accounts are in Herodotus, who describes its use by Scythians, in modern day Pooland/Russia

[JosephIbrahim88]

being a dolphin would be so much fun

[raggakakka]

yeah if some murders come and kill u and your family with harpune!

[ishikawa92]

Its harpoon.

[aahmed703]

lol

[unclebob100]

@JosephIbrahim88 See ya later..."and thanks for all the fish" - Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

[Noednoefpoe]

Well Cannabis -is- believed to have originated somewhere in India.

[sukkha911]

India is a very old old country. The people had alot more time to study religion, culture, psychology, plants, environment and medicine. Science of life. During ancient times this country was the leader of the sciences.

[TheSgGod]

that is awsome

[BeatingTheBush]

@sukkha911 Hey I'm very new to the sitar... and the indian music over all. I was wondering what this song is called... whoever composed it is really good as well....

[sukkha911]

Ravi Shankar

[sukkha911]

Ravi Shankar is the musician and the song is called Ganja Music - Indian Vibes - Sitar Jam 2

[frigidnorthlands]

@BeatingTheBush

This is not Pandit Ravi Shankar.

The track is by the Dave Pike Set and the sitar is played by Paul Weller.

It is a real shame that sitar & Indian classical music has an association with cannabis use in the West. A real shame.

If you are new to sitar, listen to some Vilayat Khan or Nikhil Banerjee or some other classical players to get an idea of what this music is really about.

[k0vert]

@BeatingTheBush yea man look up Ravi Shankar. Mentor to the Beatles, father of Norah Jones... basically master musician....

[lestephenois1]

Cannabis is not known to have originated in India but in Afghanistan. Afghanistan was only fleetingly a part of the Mughal Dynasty of India, so to say Cannabis originated from somewhere in India is akin to saying Michael Jackson is known to have originated from someplace near Canada.

[sukkha911]

You are right. Afghanistan also produces heroin from the poppy plant. Thousands of years of study and production.

[firstseason14]

medicine for the masses!

[SangamEquilibrium]

@sukkha911 Afghanistan was originally part of India...it was the Qandahar Raj/province of the then Mahabharata era.

[sadmanalpha]

@sukkha911

Cannabis sativa

Bimli Hemp

Hibiscus cannabinus

Indian hemp

[kettensaeger999]

@lestephenois1 hello sorry but how dumm can you be ,how can you set a creation of nature to one place ???????????so what was in south america or other countries ,so in europe too past in early days the smoked it but mainly they made ropes out of it ...true...this is like strawberries are coming from china.......?!?!?!?!?!?!

[lestephenois1]

@kettensaeger999 Well my little snowflake, Ganja did originate from Afghanistan, it was first produced in its present intoxicant form in Helmand. In Europe or South America they might use the Cannabis plant for rope but Ganja is a special preparation of the cannabis plant. Strawberries do not originate from China, its a European fruit. Most things originate from specific areas, for eg Apples originate from what is now Kazakhstan.

[pilgim]

@lestephenois1  he did. America

[sighland]

@lestephenois1: Long before the Mughals and Islam, India had influenced Afghanistan. The Bamian Budhas, a thousand years before Mughals is a clue, Bamian being on the silk route. Cannabis is a medicine in the ancient Ayurveda texts. Cannabis Indica is a local herb in Himalayas and Western Ghat mountains in south India. Cheers.

[budsAok420]

@lestephenois1 what history book is that in. not to bust balls but how in gods name do people find that shit out? how do we know other tribes in other places didnt have it too?

[shloopy724]

@Noednoefpoe I am not sure if that was the only place it originated but who knows you may be right, if you have ever read the Hymns of the Rigveda which are (I believe but not to sure) the oldest of the Hindu scriptures, but in that it talks about drinking Soma Juice, I have heard that Soma Juice is a combination of psychedelic mushrooms, Cannabis and the sap from the opium poppy combined. Also, I heard that the word, 'Ganja' is a Hindu word meaning Cannabis, anyone know if that is true?

[pauljosemvargas]

@Noednoefpoe Nepal actually.

[jacethegreat]

@Noednoefpoe The Indian tribes used marijuana for many medicinal reasons. They even gave it to their pets. They called it churrish.

[iRieEyeD123]

@Noednoefpoe

Herb was first discovered on the grave of King Solomon

[tkuliocowske]

@Noednoefpoe It still grows wild in the foothills of the himilayas. Bangladesh translated actually means cannabis land people. peace =]

[harrythebastard1]

i faaaacking lu=vs that tune ....

[NitsuaNaed]

time to light up! haha

[sukkha911]

Ganja or weed was smoked to reach higher levels consciousness. It stimulates the specific centers in the brain to further open the gates to higher thinking, focus and reach goals. Not used to get high or forget problems and anger !

[fckualreadyaye]

Weed puts things in perspective.

[liber777paradis]

@fckualreadyaye if you want perspective try opium

[fckualreadyaye]

I do opiates.

[qfunk99]

This tune, I believe, has been copied from:

"Up Bustle & Out - Emerald Alley" .. Nice track! Thanks for sharing. :D

[dshah124]

not quite. They both use the sitar on the tracks, that's about it.

[qfunk99]

I meant that the same tune was played in different ways by the 2 artists seperately. Like a music cover done by different people... Sitar on both the tunes, but the tune resembles...

[MegaCozzy]

hi did paul weller from the jam do a version ov this??????? thanx

[howardb42006]

[howardb42006]

Insanely cool hip and right on...

Acid anyone?

[omdogstar]

Lime wire ~ Ravi Shankar - Ganja Music - Indian Vibes - Sitar Jam.

I don't know if it's Ravi on the Sitar ? I agree that Ravi's music is much more complex, exotic & sinuous, as a classically trained award winning composer & perhaps, the Best sitari player in the world ? If not, among the ranks for sure. However, Ravi did collaborate with numerous artists both in India & America.

Also, this clip isn't actually titled Ravi Shankar it just mentions him in correlation with George Harrison....?

[Speelbird]

does anyone know who is the interpret of this song and where i can download it?

[gce808hi]

this is sick! where can i download it? anyone?

true this is not ravi, but the sitar mixed with bass makes a sick beat..

[reggaebomb]

excellent : )

[stoney68]

THAT IS NOT RAVI SHANKAR!!!!!

That is an amateur hippy plinking around on a sitar.

Please do not title this as from Pandit Ravi Shankar as it is disrespectful to him as an artist and great master of the sitar.

This recording is not by a sitarist.

[sukkha911]

I downloaded the song alongtime ago. You maybe right. I still like Ravi Shankar !

[stoney68]

No problem.

Sorry, I didnt mean to sound like such a dick.

I had a really bad headache and was in a pissy mood.

Kinda of a cool groove in general though.

[MyExTreMeRoMaNcE]

SITAR KICKS ASS

[sparx65]

Pure Bliss.

[remember5566]

how much for one sitar

[ZackBellman]

a decent one maybe sell your car...

[carlitoslzac]

the original is from Dave Pike, and is better by far

[xxXDevLinSXLoVerXxx]

rock on!

[tfepaintball]

Por fin la encontréeeeeeee, llevaba años buscandola, esta también en la peli de peter sellers del guateque al principio. :D:D:D:D

[Rohansitar]

This is not Ravi ji, I think this is George Harrison.

Nice jam session.

[cinbad27]

I will enjoy watching this after a hard day at work. The music and video is so relaxing.

[bubuginese]

hari om from Brasil!!!!

[oldestonearth]
