Music Meditation With Sarodbaba & Gayaki Mata

Music Meditation
With Sarodbaba & Gayaki Mata
Sunday, 9th August 2015

Music has, and also is, the key to unlock the Heart-Door of the Supreme. This soulful music meditation will begin with Omkar sadhana, followed by a raga, which will be chosen depending on our mood and the moment.  We will play an alap or an introduction to a raga... This will be followed by short jod or rhythmic cycle. Sublime sarod and vocal duet recitals will fill you up and soothe your soul, brining you to a state of meditation.

“Let us not try to understand music with our mind. Let us not even try to feel it with our heart. Let us simply and spontaneously allow the music-bird to fly in our heart-sky. While flying, it will unconditionally reveal to us what it has and what it is. What it has, is Immortality's message. What it is, is Eternity's passage.
