Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Dear Friends, Some genuine thougts of mine. I hope you agree... Aadhyatma or spirituality is closely related to music. I am talking about the music which doesn't produce momentary excitement but has the capability of giving everlasting pleasure(chirasthayee anand). The `naad', `swara', `shruti' or the vibrations produced have the power to take a person to that cosmic journey. `Dhrupad'is sung with the use of `naad swara' which is produced from the `naabhi' and the singer totally is immersed in the pleasure of the effects of music. Music teaches discipline which is a requisite towards the path of spirituality and attaining God. When a singer sings a particular raga, he is automatically bound in certain limits of the swaras. If he does not respect that, he or anyone listening to him, instead of getting that `anand', instead of getting totally immersed in music, is distracted and there is a feeling of dissatisfaction and frustration.. The `taala' part in music also teaches discipline. We all know the story of Tansen. When he sang raga Deepak, a tremendous amount of heat was produced in his body. It was cooled down by his daughter by singing raga Malhaar. Even today, music has the capability to do miracles but those ragas have to be sung with devotion and in their original forms. Over the years the original `swaroop' or form of these ragas have changed and the vibrations produced by those typical combination of `swaras' are not the same anymore. But music still remains a medium to reach THAT goal. So, if you immerse yourself in good music or anything in which you find tremendous satisfaction, with no desire to become famous or any other materialistic desire, you are certainly on the path which leads to the doors of GOD.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Very good thoughts, Manosi. Music is art and beauty. In astrology 5th house governs music. 2nd for vocal, 3rd for instrumental. Venus gives taste for music. Ven+moon alapana and imagination. Mercury for rhythum or talam. Mars gives courage/confidence for performance. Mars+ venus+sat show tabla (dead skin) Airy sign flute. etc. Gemini, Sagitarious , Aquareous and Leo give good musician. Cancer and capricorn are good listner and enjoyers.Sun in Sagitarious gives taste for music. In KP astro,we examine all these aspects by the sub cusp lord of 5th house.
