Music - The Nectar of Life

The book provides truly rare knowledge of the emergence of natural musical notes (swaras) from the eternal impulse of Nāda and consequent emanation of the Shastric (Indian Classical) Music. This Indian classical music was developed and propagated by the Vedic sages. They had recognized the linkage of music with the emotions and intrinsic nature of the living beings and thereby evolved the methods of its enchanting practices. They had also discovered special rāgas for the chanting of Vedic Mantras and the spiritual sādhanās of music. The book tells us how we could endeavor reviving this glorious tradition today when the liking of people is mostly entrapped in artificial and fast-beat music and when commercialization and perversion of this universal mode of entertainment is at its peak.
