  In particular I would like to get some questions clarified regarding carnatic flute. I came to know that, first ragam that is taught to flute students is "Harikambhoji" instead of standard "Maya Malava Goulam". I know how to play Harikambhoji and hence Mohanam. I can play "Vara Veena" without the effect of "Janta". I would like to know, how Janta is done on Flute.
  
  Thank you in advance, for any help.

  to play janta in flute you must be familiar with the fingerings.
  
  first try to blow twice to play janta, when u get familiar with it try the adjasant swaras to play janta.
  
  eg.
  
  to play sa sa
  
  try : Play sa and hit your left hand ring finger i.e. ni for a short period and take the finger away
  
  that will play the janta
  
  
  thus you have to play the previous swara to get janta or blow it twice
  
  
  ask any further doubts if you have.
  
  i'm willing to help any body playing flute through mails.
  
  
  keep in touch
  
  
  Cheers

  s.subraje, try closing holes tightly. If your fingers are dry, dip in water, wipe it and try.
