Thank you very much indeed, Tulasi for all this effort to translate the

article for us. I've re-formatted it into a WordPerfect document for

easier printing. Fascinating about the music therapy, isn't it?

Translation of HH Swamiji's interview in telugu news

paper VAARTHA

 

 

> Jai Guru Datta,

>

> I found this interview as helpfull and interesting.

> Hence I spent sometime translating it to English using

> best of my knowledge. Pl forgive me if you find any

> mistakes in translation. Pl find the translation

> below:

>

>

> 'Rama Namam Rama Namam, Ramya minadi Rama Naamamu.

> Ida Pingala Naadula madhyana imidi yunnadi Rama

> namamu.'

> Brief meaning of this Telugu bhajan is :

> Rama's name is very sweet. It is embeded in between

> Ida & Pingala naadis.

>

> When devotional songs similar to above are sung nice,

> there willn't be anyone who is unmoved.

> Among different arts, music is very sweet & pleasant.

> It can also atract/impress kids & animals.

> Naada(music) has power to melt stones and light lamps.

> Taan Sen(ancient hindustani singer) is

> a good example for this. Though India is flooded with

> fast life & globalisation, saint Thyagaraja

> keertanas(bhajans) are still popular and will always

> be popular. Guru's say Vedas &

> Naadas(bhajans/devotional songs) are born out of

> Vedana(suffering/frustration/worry).

> Being concerned/worried about people suffering from

> mental & physical sickness, His holyness Sri

> Ganapati Sachchidananda Swamiji is doing Naada

> Chikitsa(Music healing) to help cure them.

>

> RAMAYANA IS WITHIN SELF

>

> Gurus/saints compare Ramayana to our body itself. Our

> mind is like Sita(Rama's wife).

> Sita(mind) is abducted by Dasa kanta/demon

> Raavana(indriyas/senses). i.e. Mind is abducted by

> our Indriyas/senses. Like God Hanuman found Sita in

> Ramayana, We can find our mind with the help of

> 'Pranayama'.

>

> When Pujya Swamiji is asked 'If Naada is mentioned

> anywhere in Ramayana?', Pujya Swamiji explained

> following interesting story.

>

> SANGEETA TATAKAM(Music Lake)

>

> Swearing-in ceremony of Lord Rama was going on. God

> Hanuman was serving Lord Rama by waving

> 'Vinjamara'(instument similar to fan). 'Vinjamara'

> waving by Anjanisuta(Hanuman, son of Anjana Devi)

> has generated sweet Naada(music). This sweet Naada

> reminds Lord Rama of days He spent in Vanas(forests).

> Then Lord Rama says:

>

> After visiting Agastya ashrama(home of sage) & Atri

> Anasuya ashrama Lord Rama hears sweet music.

> At the bottom of a lake which is filled with water

> Sapta Rushis(7 great sages) are doing deep

> meditation with the help of Jalastambana(ability to

> live in water for longer).

> God Indra(King of deva loka) fears that Sapta Rushis

> are meditating to take away his post/job. He sends

> Yaksha, Gandharva, Kinnera, Kimpurusha naada taranga

> kanyas(lady musicians) into lake to disturb

> Sapta Rushis(7 great sages). They keep singing sweet

> music. How much ever sweet Naada Kanya's music is,

> Sapta Rishis meditation didn't get disturbed. Pleased

> by Sapta Rishi's meditation finally God Brahma

> appears and tells Sapta Rishi's He can grant whatever

> wish they have. Then Sapta Rishi's say they don't

> have any wish and they would like to keep staying in

> lake listening to sweet music of 'Naada Kanyas'.

>

> Then God Hanuman says, listening to above story told

> by Lord Rama, He will visit that lake while going

> back after swearing-in ceremony is completed.

>

> When this reporter asked Pujya Swamiji that 'In which

> Ramayana this story is mentioned?'.

> Pujya Swamiji replied that 'This story is in Ananda

> Ramayana which is written by Viswamitra not Vaalmiki'.

>

> When asked 'How Naada is evolved?', Pujya Swamiji

> replied that 'It is difficult to give a brief answer'.

>

> When asked 'Can You cure deceases with

> Naada(music)?', Pujya Swamiji said that 'I am doctor

> to the

> patients who come to me for treatment. In addition to

> giving herbs & medicines to patient, with the help

> of Naada(music) We give more mental powers & peace of

> mind to patient'.

>

> Pujya Swamiji also said that 'His ancestors are great

> musicians and doctors'.

> that 'both tune & beat are equally important'.

> in detail, Pujya Swamiji replied that 'Yoga, Jyotisha,

> Mani Saastra

> (crystal science), colors and in the last medicine are

> naadis in our body Ida, Pingala & Brahma naadis are

> important. Naadi centers are energized with

> Naada(music)

> vibrations'.
