Gandharva music is the expression of the eternal music of Nature. It
is the music that is in alliance with Natural Law. If you can hear the
music of Nature as the sun rises, as it shines in the fullness of the midday,
as the soft shadows of late afternoon spread across the land, if you can
hear the sun set, the deep silence of midnight, the stillness of early
morning and the first awakening of the dawn, these are the melodies and
rhythms of gandharva music. They match perfectly with the cycles of Nature
and the changing rhythms of Nature that govern the evolution of all levels
of creation, from the minute to the ever-expanding universe.
It is the rhythms and melodies of Nature which were cognized by Vedic
sages or rishis thousands of years ago and were put into sound. Gandharva
music has its source in the timeless Vedic Tradition of India. It is the
classical music of the ancient Vedic Civilization which enjoyed Heaven
on Earth.
According to these ancient sages or rishis and at present Maharishi Mahesh Yogi,
properly performing these melodies or ragas at the
proper times of the day and night neutralizes stress in the atmosphere
and creates a harmonizing and balancing influence for the individual and
peace for the world family.
For centuries the magical and sublime melodies of gandharva music have
been lost to the West, but now many of India's most famous and beloved
musicians are touring the world performing these ancient melodies and demonstrating
its powerful healing influence to audiences young and old. The revival
of this music in its full dignity is Maharishi Gandharva Veda music.
Maharishi Gandharva Veda music transcends categories. It speaks to all
audiences in the universal language of harmony, beauty and peace.
