What is Music?
Music is the melody that really touches our soul that gives the ultimate bliss. Music creates, induces emotions according to the mood which we are in. Everything in this world has rhythm in it. Good music can create a good soul in us. It helps us to build up ourselves inwardly.
Music is a sound that which gives a good feeling. We have numerous kinds of music in this universe. Even the cosoms has a sound in it, which we call the sound of the divine. In Indian scriptures, the very basic sound is " AUM" , where the three letter word stays base for every sound, every rthym that is heard.
AUM: The word Aum when uttered by a human voice, comes from 3 different parts of the body. The first syllabal "A" comes from the abdominal part - in Sanskrit " nAbhi".
The second syllabal "U" comes from the middle part/ chest -in Sanskrit " hrudayam" .
The third syllabal "M" comes from the upper part of the body, from the throat, in Sanskrit- "kantam". Music has all these three sounds in it.
It is even more intersting to note that in our South Indain classical music, the notes, " The Saptaswaras" are compared to the sounds of animals. This is given in the ancient tamil literature. It is nature ultimately that give us or teaches us everything.
More to come.........
