Interview:
Music is far more than merely having “spiritual significance”; music is the embodiment of Spirit. Music is one of the most profound and powerful transformers of consciousness. People who are unmoved by the words from the pulpit of a religious service, may find themselves moved to tears by the sacred sounds emanating from the choir. Music is a bridge between Heaven and Earth, a medium through which the ineffable qualities of spirit become living reality. Carried away on wings of song, we may come to actually experience spiritual concepts like ecstasy, devotion, love, reverence, and peace.
“Music is the greatest and easiest meditation to directly experience the higher realms hidden deep within us.” – Nityananda, Vaishnava saint.
“Carried away on wings of song, we may come to actually experience spiritual concepts like ecstasy, devotion, love, reverence, and peace.”
– Robert Gass, co-author of “Chanting: Discovering Spirit In Sound”
