GOVINDA (Dhruba) TIWARI - Planetary Singing bowls and Gong Teacher

Govinda Pd. Tiwari – Planetary Singing Bowls & Cosmic Hertz Sound Therapy (Sonotherapy) International Teacher, Artist/musician, Sound expert, Supplier/exporter of related products

 

My soul has always been vibrating with music. As far as I can remember, music has always been part of my life.

 

My name is Govinda (Dhruba) Prasad Tiwari. I was born in Nepal in a small hilly village nested in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains. If I was blessed to have grown up in this amazing natural environment, the reality of the daily life in rural of Nepal was nevertheless harsh but I gratitude universe (God/Goddess) my parents, my neighbours and surrounding because I have got sufficient chance for inner growth in my childhood. The lesson I have leant and is in reality is that learning from practically from the base and in the grounds is not a education but a great knowledge in life which helps human to grow quickly and can create capacity to understand the joys and sorrows from the bottom of each and everything. Thanks universe that I had chance to do all what I have done in my childhood, but not now! :)

 

Our village did not have any of the modern facilities we can enjoy nowadays. There was no electricity, no road, access to medical facilities, leave alone mobile phones and internet which did not exist at that time. A community of dozens of hamlets and villages was our world and rice our subsistence. The culture of the rice is hard work and its cycle only provides little respite in certain periods of the year. From early morning till sleeping time, the life of villagers was spent in the rice, corn, wheat, millet and all the vegetables fields and other domestic chores. We ware harvesting 3 times a year in general but many vegetables up to 4 times if followed modern way of agriculture. Our villages were poor in terms of cash but we were richest o the grains thus our storage of grains was sold and turn in to cash when cash is needed. From the industrial point of view or modern human point of view life in village was tough and harsh as means of entertainment were thus very rare and few from another angle life was best ever as there was no stress except some dreams of being rich, doctors, pilots etc.

        After 19 years full village life experiences, and living dozens of years in Kathmandu city and western countries; I can proudly say and feel that I am not the plant grown on. pot inside the home but the seed fallen among mountainous rocks with very less non-fertile  soil, but struggling and surviving in - 60 to + 60 degree celsius temperature, in any types of situation, in any case with strength, determination and as Karmayogi. 


Music and dance were among these rare moments of entertainment. Whenever it was possible, villagers would gather in someone’s home and play, sing and dance. We would sing kirtans and bhajans (devotional songs) and folkloric songs. During these moments, the harsh reality of life was forgotten. These were instants of joy and happiness. When I was a child, I very quickly grasped the language of music. I was naturally gifted for music. I could play any instrument. I was therefore requested to join and play in any of these gatherings. Not surprisingly, I had chosen Music as my major subject in university and later became a professional musician, singer, lyrics writer, composer, technician and music arranger.

 

Besides music, my childhood was also invested in the studies of Vedic texts, teachings and rituals. I was born in a Hindu kingdom and am the eldest son of a Brahman family. In our society, the cast-system and respect of traditions are very important. Ancestral knowledge is transmitted from a generation to the next. As such, my father taught me the reading of our holy books, the preparation and conduct of ceremonies and rituals (puja), the meanings and symbolisms behind the sacred verses. Amazing, I can't believe that he new most of the holy books ( Shreemad Vagawat Geeta, Mahabharat, Shree Krishna Charitra, Gunaratna Mala, Ramayana etc, I would say more than 300,000 verses at least) each and every verses by heart, all memorized as in books!  He had unbelievable memories! In Nepal, there is a long history of ethnical and cultural exchanges with a high degree of syncretism of these varied religious and spiritual practices. Nepal lies at the crossroads of the world’s most ancient spiritual systems. This has created Nepal’s unique blend of diverse cultures and traditions. My lineage is from a Brahminic tradition, but we have a lot of respect and understanding of other spiritual systems, notably Shamanism, which was much prevalent in our area, Tibetan and Tantric Buddhism.

 

As for music, this learning was not only very natural to me but also extremely inspiring. I was enjoying the regular gatherings around my father. For his deep knowledge, my father was a much-respected figure in our area. My home was thus a kind of ashram where villagers, ascetics, priests and others would gather to discuss spirituality and read sacred texts.

 

I wanted music to be my life…

 

I had come to Kathmandu to complete my education. At that time, I was aspiring to be a musician. Far from my family and without financial resources, I had to sustain my education by playing in “Lok Dohori”, restaurants where live musicians are entertaining the audience with our rich and diverse Nepalese folkloric and traditional music. After struggle and perseverance, I finally succeeded to become a renown national artist. I was established in the Nepalese music industry as a full-fledged professional musician: author/lyricist, composer, singer, player (harmonium, clavier, flute, percussions). I also established my own company involved in the musical creation, production and distribution in Nepal.

 

I was dreaming to see the world…

 

In my childhood, my village and its surrounding fields was the only world I knew. When I came first to Kathmandu, a new world opened to me. I came to meet many foreigners and thus started to have many friends from many countries. I visited several countries: Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Russia, Latvia, Spain, Germany, Austria, Poland, Czech republic, Estonia, Lithuania, Hungery, Liechtenstein, Netherland, Sweden, Denmark, Thailand, India, China etc. etc and by transit I have passed through more than 100 of countries.

Later, I also got involved in the tourism industry as I could share my passion to foreign visitors about Nepali culture and music, traditional knowledge and spirituality, local lifestyle and amazing landscape.

 

An amazing and cosmic encounter…

 

As goes the saying, nothing in this world happens by accident. While accompanying a group of Swiss people, one group leader requested me to bring him to a singing bowls showroom. I brought him to a place I knew. This man took one bowl and stroke it. He put it back apparently not happy with the sound and said "THIS IS BOWLS FOR SOUP". He took another bowl. Again, after testing it, he did not seem happy and said "THIS BOWL IS FOR TOURIST".  After a few other tests, in Thamel tourist market, he did not like any of them. Next day I have brought him in another city where I have heard about different quality of bowls, there they were happy and bought 45 bowls at once. It was normal for him as he was healing with Planetary Singing bowls but his words Mars, Moon, Sun etc, was the big seed of interest on me which grew up as Bodhi tree now and in these last years growing very well. 

 

I was first introduced to the planetary Himalayan singing bowls when I was tasked by one Swiss therapist friend to help him in finding some bowls with specific properties. For this purpose, as a sound engineer, I created in Kathmandu a sound laboratory dedicated to measure precisely the frequencies of the bowls. I later received also his teaching in the Sound Massage therapy.

 

Reiki to Reiki master courses

I've got first Reiki course on 2010 but after this encounter, sound healing became the engine of my life. I needed to know more about it, to understand the secret of sound healing. I was insatiable. I went to several courses and learnt various techniques. I was notably very privileged to receive the teachings of Don Conreaux, for whom I was also his assistant in a few of his Gong Master (Puja) courses. Besides the techniques, I came to realize about the inextricable links between yoga and sound healing and other energetical works. I was understanding the teachings of my father from a new perspective.

 

I subsequently undertook through several spiritual sadhanas, retreats, learnt various forms of yoga (pranayama, japa, kundalini including Tantra, Mantra and Yantra). I am still connected with great Mahatma, Sadhu, Tantrik Gurus, in different ashrams where I regularly go and keep awake and grow my consciousness and gt some spiritual blessing to my soul and mind.

 

Teaching in planetary Therapeutic Sound healing…

 

I started teaching in planetary sound healing from 2014 but I was mostly working as assistance teacher of my teachers in the beginning and when they instruct and push me to teach, I have accepted and continuing!

 Don Conreaux, Grand gong master: I have learnt from him in 2015 from Spain then hosted/invited him in Nepal to teach gongs. After course, I have guided him in different places but mostly was learning with this modern great sage through his life experiences. He was also asking me many questions regarding Planetary analysation, astrological connection......... thus we had some sharing and for me it was private learning from him. Second last day of his Nepal stay I have invited him at my flat in Kathmandu, showed him all my precious 

Today there are uncountable sound therapy method mostly imagined by each individuals but systematic, logical and researched ones are rare! I would rather say, a good seller claims himself as a sound healing master or sound therapist in every local street of Nepal (also in most of the countries). It is better not to believe and trust every people but to test them before. Of course "SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING BUT SOMETHING IS NOT EVERYTHING!" Understanding and sharing knowledge is commendable, yet declaring oneself a sound healing master or therapist based solely on YouTube or Facebook videos and superficial readings lacks the depth needed for a knowledgeable and experienced teacher. It's crucial to recognize that assuming the role of a sound healing master or therapist comes with significant responsibilities and should not be taken lightly. 

A Friendly and harmonious sounds possess healing qualities, but regular use of unfriendly or unapproved sounds can destroy, disrupt balance, and even lead to harm, affecting cells, organs, individuals, animals, and plants which directly not visible. Therefore, the use of whatever sounds and vibrations for pocket profit without adequate appropriate trainings, knowledge, and experience should be avoided. I trust and believe that a trainer lacking sufficient trainings and expertise is a seller and should remain in that role, while a true master, an old soul born to fulfill higher purpose, should embrace and fulfils the responsibilities of a master rather than merely being a seller. Though a seller providing some information/knowledge and practical aspect might be logical and a teacher selling instruments behind (as secondary propose) also considered logical


I have learnt sound therapy (sound massage) or healing with 9 different teachers to deepen my knowledge and to explore different techniques. Among them I am using only 2 teachers method who are teacher rather than a smart seller! There are only few 'schools' of planetary sound therapy methods or ‘schools.’ During my years of intense apprenticeship, I learnt about a dozen of methods. I went to Germany and undertook formation with some of well-known and precursors in the field of therapeutic singing bowls. I went to Spain and Switzerland. In my own country, Nepal, I took courses with reputed masters. Each of them has their own systems, methods and playing techniques and they have created their own methods. Creating own methods are easiest way and can earn quickly but ask the question yourself before you learn and invest on  your instruments. These days due to free social medias and free postigns competitions, I have seen many so called teachers who became teachers via youtube, facebook, Insta etc, they are paying much for paid promotion and hooking the targeted clients.

 For sure the clients/students shall learn from as much as masters possible. It is best an investment for your future to be a wise, great and perfect masters but probably not to follow 1 teacher blindly if their teachings has not the depth and their sources or root is sallow. 


Good news! I have written 6 books that I am looking forward to publish a new, most advance and experiences collection PLANETARY, THERAPEUTIC, COSMIC HERTZ SOUD THERAPY® BOOK in coming days for public while now it is exclusively available only for my students.

 

I have thus observed varying degrees in the quality or seriousness of the techniques. Frankly speaking, I could hardly find any value in most of the courses I've taken. The techniques are minimalistic and do not follow any logic or system. The knowledge of ancient teachings is over-simplified. Well, I felt more that these so-called masters were taking advantage of the special aura that my country enjoys in the field of spirituality and singing bowls, particularly to foreign tourists who take every of their words for granted. It is better to be aware, to be conscious and smart before becoming good client of seller (bad teacher) instead invest more to get real knowledge. 

 

It is in the West that I found the most valuable formations. There is a genuine interest towards spirituality and a better understanding of the world. Ancient teachings are being re-visited and enriched with contemporary knowledge. More particularly, I have been impressed by two masters who taught planetary sounds healing in the most comprehensive way. It is thanks to their invaluable teachings and guidance that I am now in turn in a position to teach others.

 

Jean-Daniel Isenschmid and Antoinette Boo, planetary sound healing and reiki masters, are my mentors among some other in the field of planetary singing bowls. They not only taught me the techniques, methods and fundamentals, but has continued to provide me with guidance and support whenever necessary more than others. I have upgrades and made a complete package adding some ancient Sound Healing instruments in the main method which is used and from more than 60-70 years. 

I extended several invitations to Jean-Daniel and Antoinette Boo for most of the my courses, even though he had previously acknowledged my quality, knowledge, and ability to teach. Despite his encouragement for me to teach independently, after approximately 8-10 courses (192-240 hours) we taught together, he gave a firm instruction that I teach myself. He emphasized my capability to teach on my own, with the option for him to assist at a higher level or for special situations.


Don Conreaux, a master in gong and Kundalini yoga, serves as another of my mentor and guru in the realm of gong and yoga, including singing bowls. He shared the secrets of gongs and planetary sounds with me. In 2017, I hosted a Gong Master course in Kathmandu, Nepal, where Don Conreaux was invited as a special guest teacher. After our teachings in Nepal, I had a whole week for special initiation from him, knowledge transformation, exchanging experiences while visiting different interesting places.


Don visited my warehouse, where he explored dozens of rare, antique, unique singing bowls from my collection. Comparing me and my products with AIDAN MCINTYRE, one of his old students (Gong Master/Teacher), he provided valuable insights. He commended my passion for singing bowls, gongs, and dedication to planetary, therapeutic, and healing sound instruments. Expressing his mentorship, he stated, "You are a Sound Alchemist," encouraging me to teach and share my Vedic, ancient, alchemic, sound engineering, and artistic knowledge with new teachers. Don suggested that "I teach to the Masters who will teach to other Masters", fostering the growth of our sound healing family for universal well-being.


 After I have dropped him at his hotel in Kathmandu, he entrusted me with many of his soft copy of his books via email attachment, emphasizing their use for personal enrichment rather than commercial purposes. While I felt there was still much to learn, Don's belief in my capabilities strengthened my readiness to teach and expand my understanding which was true because "life is too short to learn everything."


Considering my experiences, financial, study and time dedication including my teachings in planetary singing bowls and gongs are rooted in the Planetary Singing Bowls Therapy by Jean-Daniel Isenschmid (Boo & Corona®) for singing bowls and the ‘Gong Master Training GMT® by Don Conreaux for gongs. I have adapted their techniques, incorporating a few additional components to create a comprehensive package, resulting in the development of "Cosmic Hertz Sound Therapy®." This synthesis has yielded remarkable success rates and positive reviews.


For over a decade, I have devoted my time and energy to combine these teachings, apply them, test them with physical reality and scientific evidence, and share this acquired knowledge with a broader audience. I teach at my own centers, as well as at partner/collaborator and guest centers worldwide. My joy lies in transforming these secret knowledge traditions for both the old and new generations, enhancing well-being within individuals and their surroundings.


"Individually, efforts may be limited, but together, united strength can achieve unbelievable results." 

Therefore I am seeking your support and participation in crafting profound, humble, and unique healing methods that address and heals any issues from their roots, not just providing momentary relief like modern medicine.


My message: 

Let's unite,
