I
have always wondered about Divinity in creation, which involves
the concept of life in this world. It is extremely difficult to
interpret life, which revolves around birth and death. These are
the two principle realities of existence given to us by Mother Nature.
Whether one likes it or not having taken birth - one has to live
and having lived - one has to die. Sanatana Dharma has always reminded
us that rebirth is a reality in existence and all our actions both
past and present decide the future. I have always felt that we live
the present life as a result of past actions and our actions in
the present life go to determine our future. Various moods in our
life cycle go on to become vibrant with each and every breath taken
to exist and the hidden music and rhythm within the Self supports
us to achieve the right balance between mind and consciousness.
Music has
always been a part of nature. It is a universal sound, which can
create emotions and express feelings. Music also soothes the mind.
It has always expressed human feelings, moods, and emotions both
by way of human voice and musical instruments. The primordial
sound of Om reflects Nad, which is the basic sound of creation
and is ever resonant in existence. It is considered as being one
with the rhythms of the universe. It is believed to be the purest
sound with a musical approach and just the chanting of Om can
have a magical effect both on the body and mind through its vibration
in the cosmos. This album aims at making music a meditative experience
by creeping into the depths of our souls and touching us in profound
ways. It looks at using music value as an outlet for our creative
energies of expression. Music as an expression of intense feelings
supersedes verbal expression.
The album “Vibrant Moods” is a result of my spiritual
exercise in the course of a deep Sadhana in music, which has given
me an inner experience of music in silence to experience the inner
silence in music. What is beyond this experience is difficult
to understand and for this I feel we could get into a celestial
musical journey through Divine melodies, which would take us into
a Valley in Silence. We get in there in a mood of Bhakti and Wake-up
to the call of Nirvana and settle in Dhyana moving towards the
Beyondness of our life cycle in Ecstasy. This journey of music
adds meaning to Devotion and Meditation in ones life and also
gives us an experience of the subtle changes in the various moods
of each composition, and goes on to reflect this basic character
of Mother Nature in its different colours.
