Today is an auspicious day, Swati Nakshatra, Dwitiya (second day of the lunar calendar), a beautiful union of Nada and Yoga. Yoga relates to the Shatchakras (six primordial metaphysical energy centres located along the spine of the human body – Mooladhara, Swadhishtana, Manipooraka, Anahata, Vishuddha, Ajna) which represent the transcendence of the human from the physical to the divine plane, which are the seats of energy of all physical and metaphysical actions. Nada represents the pranic force in the body that is responsible for all the subtle and gross actions in the body. This is a union of these forces. This music is not entertainment music. They are specially engineered sounds for producing healing and balancing effects on the body, mind and intellect- Yoga Sangeeta. This is the ancient Raga Ragini Vidya, time tested even from the Kruta, Treta and Dwapara eras. It is the musical energy that stabilizes the Nadimandala (plexus of nerves in the human body). Swamiji came running all the way from Chicago in a single non stop flight to perform in this Yogbhumi because of the love extended by this Peetham to Swamiji. Swamiji is immensely pleased seeing this temple of Yoga and the practice of Yoga here. Yoga and Nada are like father and mother, like Shiva and Parvati. This concert is like union of Shiva and Parvati. This union of Yoga and Nada guarantees physical and mental well-being. It stabilizes the vibrations related to the Chakras. It enables the flow of nectarine bliss. Each Raga has a different effect on the Chakras. It is advisable to listen to such music during practice of Yoga and meditation. You will certainly have great experiences. Today’s concert concentrates on the Ragas related to the five elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether). We are all fortunate indeed for we have the opportunity to listen to such divine music in this august place of Yoga.
