Sacred Music is Nada Yoga !

Can Sacred Music activate the Kundalini ? The answer is Yes !

Listening to Sacred Music and becoming aware of its meaning can transport us to celestial heights. I have been hearing this Sacred Music lately ( and I have put a lot of Music videos on my site ) and I am uplifted.

Nada means Sound and Yoga means Union. In other words, Nada Yoga means Union via Sound. Nada Yoga is an ancient science dealing with Meditation on Music, on sound and transformation though sound.

There are many types of Yoga, all roads leading to the Divine.

Our minds become absorbed in sound and we all listen to music. There are external and internal sounds, called in Sanskrit as Ahat and Anahat, struck and unstruck sounds.

Yogis say that the seat of the Self is the Heart Chakra or the Anahata Chakra. This is from where unstruck sounds originate.

During Meditation, you can hear the inner sounds, which arise from the Heart Chakra. Nada Yoga takes you to this inner blissful realm.

The inner sound, arising from the Anahata, is considered by many as the Kundalini itself, the Serpentine Power coiled in humans and which rises during Meditation !

Now the question is this. Can listening to the mantras activate the Kundalini.? It can ! Try listening to these Music Videos, understand the meaning of the verses and definitely there will be an upsurge in Consciousness !

An Eightfold Verse is called an Octet and this is an Octet to the Lord.

This magnificent octet describes the Indescribable, gives form to the Formless and limits the Illimitable. We have already said that describing Deity in terms of humanity is like expressing the Center in terms of the circumference !
