What is Maharishi Gandharva Veda?
Originating in the timeless Vedic tradition, of India, Gandharva Veda is the
classical music of the Vedic civilization, cognized thousands of years ago
by Vedic sages. Today, under the guidance of Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi, many of India's renowned musicians have joined in a world-wide
revival of this music in its purity by reconnecting it to its source in the
Veda and Vedic Literature.
“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.” – Maharishi
How does it work?
|
We know from science that all elements in the universe consist of vibrations, or frequencies. The ancient Gandharva Veda sages cognized the inherent intelligence of these frequencies and mirrored them through music. Maharishi Gandharva Veda, being purely and simply the coherent flow of sound, is designed to promote balance, harmony, inner peace, and better health. Research studies validate the powerful healing effects of the sounds of the Veda on the human physiology, behavior and environment.
