Nada yoga

Nada yoga

  • Nada yoga is an ancient Indian metaphysical system. It is equally a philosophical system, a medicine, and a form of yoga.
  • The system's theoretical and practical aspects are based on the premise that the entire cosmos and all that exists in the cosmos, including human beings, consists of vibrations, called n? da.
  • This concept holds that it is the energy of vibrations rather than of matter and particles which form the building blocks of the cosmos.
  • Nada yoga is also a reverential way to approach and respond to vibrations. In this context, silent vibrations of the self (Anahata), sound and music (ahata) carry a spiritual weight more meaningful, respectively, than what sensory properties normally provide. Silent vibrations of the self (anhata) and Sound and Music (ahata) are considered to play a potential medium/intermediary role to achieve a deeper unity with both the outer and inner cosmos.
  • Music has been used by most Indian saints as an important and powerful tool in the quest for the achievement of nirvana; notable names to be mentioned here include Kanakadasa, Thyagaraja, Kabir, Meerabai, Namdeo, Purandaradasa and Tukaram.
  • Naad is considered to be the basis of music and also as the basis of the energy in self.
  • Naad reaches its crescendo or Brahmnaad when we regulate our inner energy through yoga and music.
  • This is the reason that both music and yoga have the power of meditation and motivation, both are immense sources of energy, the Prime Minister added.
  • Prime Minister said, music has not only been a source of happiness, but also a means of service and a form of penance.
