Power of Music

Music occupies very important place in the Indian culture and tradition. It is not only an instrument of entertainment, but is said to have the power to heal an individual physically emotionally and spiritually. In today’s highly competitive and stressful environment and busy lifestyle, music can be used an instrument to relax and relieve the mind of stressful situation. Music is pervading all over the nature. It is present in the whispering sound of gentle breeze, it is present in chirping of little birds, it is present in the rising waves of seas, it is present in the falling waters of fountains. One has to be silent and experience the music which is embedded in nature all over. Music has no boundaries. It transcends all barriers like language, religion, caste,creed, gender,age and status. There is no science other than music to mould, strengthen and infuse harmony to the character of the entire mankind. One has to hear good music to elevate the soul. Because Music is Divine! Because Music is Power, packed in sound waves. Music has the power to heal patients suffering from cancer. Devotional music has the power to elevate soul and bring it closer to supreme lord.

Music is an extremely versatile medium of communication. It is capable of exploring all the features that are used in verbal communication. Moreover, it does so in an explicit and structured way, which makes it an interesting and useful window into human communication, in general. Good music touches our emotions. It touches the very core of our soul.. It may not be possible to explain or describe this in human language. It can only be felt. It is one of those mystic experiences, which baffle analytical explanation.
