For Renu Jain, the Sitar and self-are identical entities; for her music is not just a discipline, but life itself – vibrating and pulsating, filled with myriads of colours. The power of her Sadhana is felt in the mesmerizing music of her Sitar. The profound sweetness of her passionate and beautiful music fills the heart with bliss. It is through sheer precision and an astute artistic sense, that she has carved for herself a nitch in the limitless universe of Indian Classical Music. A versatile artist, she has spent her early years painting with oils and watercolours, dabbling in ceramics and sculpture, and discovering the grace of Kathak dance. After graduating in English Literature from Miranda House at Delhi University, and majoring in Interior Design from the University of Minnesota (USA), she resumed her love with music. In all, these pursuits she had the yearning to discover her own expression, which led her to the magical kingdom of ‘Sapt Swaras’. And the yearning became an obsession, occupying all her wakeful hours. The renowned Fashion Designer Payal Jain, Renu’s daughter, testifies by saying She grew up watching her mother practising her sitar for 16 hours a day. Her commitment to her music is unparalleled and it is for her, complete dedication, deep passion and her entire life. This total devotion was nurtured by her husband, Dr Prem Jain; Renu says "I owe my music to him". Her Music has touched many facets of human life. Through her concerts, she has collected funds for Andh Vidyalaya, the Blind School for Boys at New Delhi; NAB Centre for Blind Women, New Delhi, Rasikapriya Kochin Physical Rehabilitation Centre, Aluva; Vivekananda Sangeeta Academy, Trichur; Brahma Kumari Academy,Mount Abu; Prayas Society for Handicapped Children, New Delhi,Burns Association,Mumbai; Tamana School for Special Children, New Delhi; Darpan, Lucknow and many many more.
