The healing power of meditation (TM)
Hollywood, 1959
Maharishi - Healing power of meditation.
We know from our daily experience, anything that pleases the mind, heals the mind. Anything that pleases the body, heals - healing = soothing.
Any beautiful sight soothes the eye. It soothes because the eyes like it. (it) soothes the mind. Mind cherishes the beauty of it through the eyes.
Everything in the world has healing power, has power of healing to some degree or the other. Everything charming soothes the mind.
A child runs about here and there and does some mischief and somebody slaps and punishes him - he goes to the lap of mother. The lap of mother has a great healing capacity. The child on the lap of mother forgets the agony of beating outside, begins to enjoy.
A great fatigue, tired of day`s labour - going to cinema, if the scenes are good and the feeling nice, it has some soothing effect, healing power.
Everthing good in the world has the effect of healing.
Now, the effect of healing is greater if the capacity of charming is greater. If one thing can charm the mind more, can fascinate the mind, can attract the mind greater, then it is a greater healing power.
So, greater is the charm, greater is found the power of healing in the object.
Meditation has the greatest healing power because it leads to greatest happiness. Meditation leads to greatest happiness of permanent order. It leads to the Kingdom of Heaven. It leads to the glory of God. It leads to eternal bliss, happiness of greatest order and of permanent nature.
Therefore we hold meditation has the greatest healing power.
And the greatest healing power will be that, which would be able to heal the life as a whole. All components of life, all phases of life soothing, harmonious.

Hast Du schon mal was von der Musikform Drupad gehört?
Dies erhielt ich heute in meiner Email-Box:
Preserving the ancient tradition of Dhrupad music: New school proposed for India

The ancient sounds of Dhrupad, the primordial music of the Vedic civilization of India, once reverberated in temples and courts, yet nearly fell silent over many centuries. A recent concert has given the venerable art form new breath and the promise of a school to preserve the great tradition.
Dhrupad, the earliest form of Ghandarva Veda music, utilizes the dynamics of sound reverberating inside the body to enliven the subtlest levels of consciousness. Pandit Ashish Sankrityayan, a master Dhrupad singer, recently performed in MERU, Holland before an assembly of leaders of the "Global Country of World Peace" - the worldwide educational organization established by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Founder of the Transcendental Meditation Programme.
Using Vedic mantras - sounds which have no literal meaning - to produce precise vibrations, the singer also performs specific gestures, called mudras, which direct the energy of the sounds within the body. Said Pandit Sankrityayan, 'Dhrupad uses the power of sound and movement to operate at a very subtle level of 'no sound' - prana - which is primordial consciousness.
'In ancient times, Dhrupad was performed to enliven the fine level of intelligence of the Rajas and the collective consciousness of the people, the fine level of intelligence that keeps everything administered according to Natural Law,' said the Global Country of World Peace leader who invited Pandit Sankrityayan to Holland.
One of only ten remaining master Dhrupad singers, Pandit Sankrityayan dedicated his life to the preservation of this tradition years ago, after learning that Maharishi was very pleased with his performance. Pandit Sankrityayan expressed his heartfelt feeling that 'Dhrupad is imperiled. There is a last thread remaining, and it is a matter of great concern to me that it is preserved and continues.'
Everyone present was deeply inspired by the performance. Raja Harris Kaplan, Raja (Administrator) of Invincible India for the Global Country of World Peace, assured Pandit Sankrityayan of the organization'

Die Nachkommen von Zakiruddin und Allabande sind die gefeierten Dagar – Brüder, welche diese Kunst in der schwierigen Zeit nach der Unabhängigkeit, als die Protektion der Königshöfe verloren ging, am Leben erhielten.Die Brüder Zakiruddin und Allabande Khan waren Schüler ihres Großonkels Baba Behram Khan, und dienten jeweils an den königlichen Höfen von Udaipur und Alwar. Sie waren die besten Dhrupadsänger ihrer Zeit (ausgehendes 19. und beginnendes 20. Jahrhundert), und waren ihres Gesanges und Wissens wegen hoch anerkannt. Ihrer Darbietungen wird heute noch mit Ehrfurcht und Verehrung gedacht.
Seinen Ursprung fand der Dhrupad im Chanten der Vedischen Hymnen. Ursprünglich in Tempeln gesungen, entwickelte er sich später unter dem Patronat der Moguln-, und Rajputen-Höfe zu einer unabhängigen Kunstform, mit einer eigenen komplexen Ästhetik. Grundlage für diese Form des Gesangs ist der Nada Yoga. Mit der Praxis dieses Yoga entwickelt der Sänger die innere Resonanz des Körpers und kann so den Ton vom Nabel bis zum Kopf frei schwingen und fließen lassen. Dies ermöglicht dem Sänger eine immense Palette subtiler Tonfarben und mikrotonaler Schattierungen zu verwenden.
Eine Dhrupad-Aufführung beginnt mit dem Alap, einer langsamen, stufenweisen Einführung des Raga (Melodiemodus), mit frei fließenden melodischen Mustern. Dabei werden die Silben des Mantras "Om Antaran tvam, taran taaran tam, ananta Hari Narayan Om", (‚Herr, führe mich von der Dunkelheit ins Licht’) verwendet. Während die Dhrupad Alap Phrasen anfangs sehr langsam und meditativ interpretiert werden, steigert sich das Tempo, bis in den schnelleren Passsagen spielerische und dynamische Verzierungen dominieren. Der Dhrupad Alap projiziert eine ganze Palette menschlicher Gefühle: Gelassenheit, Sinnlichkeit, Pathos, Mitleid, Freude, Verwunderung, Zorn oder auch Heroismus.Dem Dhrupad Alap folgt eine rhythmisch improvisierte Komposition, die von der Pakhavaj, einer zweiseitigen Trommel (Vorläufer der Tabla) begleitet wird. In dieser Musik werden die Noten nicht als festgelegte Punkte behandelt, sondern als flüssige Einheiten mit unbegrenzten mikrotonalen Schattierungen. Die Musik ist zutiefst spirituell und meditativ und stellt eine Form des Gebets dar.
Dhrupad singer Ashish Sankrityayan is based in Delhi and has studied Dhrupad - the ancient North Indian court and temple music genre for nearly twenty years from various singers associated with the Dagar style. Based on his studies with many traditional singers of the Dagar vani, and his own researches on Dhrupad, Ashish has developed his own syncretic and highly eclectic view of the Dagar style, combining influences from many maestros he has studied from or heard.
Ashish Sankrityayan started his musical education at an early age - first learning the Sitar as a child and later vocal music. While studying Mathematics and Physics at the University of Bombay, he was inspired to start learning Dhrupad when he heard a recording of the Elder Dagar brothers singing Raga Darbari. He was fascinated by the depth and grandeur of their voices and their slow, majestic and contemplative style of singing, and started looking for a teacher who could teach him this ancient art. Over the next twenty years he learnt Dhrupad in the traditional way from many teachers, travelling and living in many places in India in search of various sources of this ancient art.
Ashish Sankrityayan was awarded the National Junior Culture fellowship by the Sangeet Natak Akademi/ Ministry of Culture in 2003 for pursuing his research in Dhrupad.
Ashish Sankrityayan started giving public performances of Dhrupad in the year 2000 after a very long period of study and has since then given over 300 concerts of Dhrupad in India and Europe. Notable among the many venues and festivals where he has performed are
Hanns Eisler , Berlin (2006)
Kronborg Castle, Denmark (2008)
Fredriksborg Castle, Denmark (2008)
Round Tower of Copenhagen (2006, 2007, 2008)

Hitzacker Summer Festival Germany (2008)

India Habitat Centre, Delhi (2007)
Ashish Sankrityayan was also privileged to work for the Maharana of Mewar Foundation of Udaipur for the restoration editing and archiving of their collection of recordings of the Elder Dagar Brothers. The study of these archival recordings of these legendary singers was a transforming experience for him as a Dhrupad singer.
Ashish has a great interest in the theoretical and musicological foundations of Dhrupad and has taught Dhrupad and given lecture demonstrations in academic institutions like the Free University of Berlin, The Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin, The University of Copenhagen, Anton Bruckner University Linz, Hildesheim University.
