Demonstrations
In each of the following demonstrations, Rajneesh counts the gap between each major repetition (after every 3rd dha) on the baya by playing ke ke (“1, 2”). This is to show how to count the gap, but should not be played in performance.
8x Speed with Theka
Here the nauhakka is played as written above (8 strokes per matra).
4x Speed with Theka
Here the nauhakka is played at half the speed as the written version above (4 strokes per matra), and the theka is played at roughly double the speed (BPM) of the 8x speed version.
