Sanatan Sangeet Sanskriti was established in 1993 by Ram Krishan & Sons Charitable Trust to recognize services rendered in music and dance.
In 1993, the Sanatan Sangeet Sanskriti, had started presenting two National Awards every year in recognition of the services rendered in the field of music and dance. These awards are called “Sanatan Sangeet Samman” and “Sanatan Sangeet Puraskar”.
“Sanatan” in Sanskrit means “eternal” or “timeless”. The coming into existence of Sanatan Sangeet Sanskriti is the result of the efforts of a group of lovers of music and dance to find a promoting-forum-cum-research-institute for music, dance and other Indian arts.
In India, it is believed that the divine principle which was all pervading, before becoming and evolving into the material worlds viz., the Earth, the Planets, the Sun & the Stars which are numberless, was in the form of sound – Nadha Brahman – which is symbolized by the mystic word “OM”.
Music, dance and art have unifying effect. They transcend religion, language and other seemingly dividing factors. These three are also one. While dance is music in action, art is a kind of frozen music. It is necessary to promote and encourage music, dance and other arts for the sake of harmony, unity and world peace. Music, dance and art will enable man to understand himself better and to realize his true nature.
The Sanatan Sangeet Sanskriti has been established with the above objectives in view and proposes to engage in the following activities:
Sanatan Sangeet Samman is to honour a senior artist for his / her personal excellence and outstanding contributions to the Indian Classical Music / Dance. The Sanatan Sangeet Puraskar is to honour a talented artist in recognition of his / her talent and potential for excellence.
