In
India it is believed that at
the origin of creation there
was the primordial sound,
Nada Brahman. In the
heart of man, in the heart
of nature, in the heart of
the universe - everywhere
there is harmony and music.
If we look around we will
find that everything on
earth contributes to this
harmony. The laugh of a boy,
the giggle of a girl, the
murmuring of the brook, the
whistling of the wind, the
flash of the lightning and
the crash of the thunder,
all reveal to the Seer the
music of creation.
Music can unite man to man,
but even more, it can unite
man to God, because music is
the language of the soul. It
is said that if one wants to
enter the heart of a
people or a culture, one
should listen to their
music. And Indian music, no
doubt, reflects the heart of
India.
