‘Gandharva music is universal. It
is at home with every land, with every man, with every society. It is the
language of bliss, the science and art of bliss, the song of Nature....
Gandharva Veda music is that style of melody which matches with the swings of
Nature that control the passage of evolution in waves of bliss, sung
spontaneously on all levels of creation, from the most minute, to the huge
enormous, ever-expanding universe.’
Music Therapy is a branch of
Ayurvedic science where music is used as an effective management for numerous
diseases. With the help of music therapy, it is possible to restore, maintain
and improve the emotional, physiological and psychological well being of person.
This is mainly because of the articulation, tone and arrangement of swar
(notes) of raga (melody) that tend to stimulate, cure and alleviate health
ailment.
The ancient vedic method of sound
therapy, where vedic mantras are recited for specific regions of the body, is
used to promote healing. In the same way the ragas of Indian classical music
can also be used for certain illness and problems. Music therapy follows the
principle that a sound (naad) generates some vibrations that tend to move in
space and in the process produce some healing effects in the human body. Indian
classical music takes the form of Ragas either as folk song, devotional songs,
poetry and the compositions of classical musicians for music therapy. Ragas are
believed to fight aging, pain, insomnia, schizophrenia and epilepsy. It can
even cure a headache, tension and abdominal pain. Ayurvedic music therapy is a
proven method of controlling our blood pressure and function of the liver.
Modern western science and
medicine are discovering that music actually can have healing power. It is
believed that for the healing with music, it is necessary to vibrate the cells
of body, for it is through these vibrations that the diseased person’s
consciousness can be changed effectively to promote health. The right kind of
music helps one relax and refresh. Thus it may be said that Ayurvedic music
therapy is proven method of cure and controlling the numerous diseases.
