Sadhguru: The Power of Music! Jaggi Vasudev Weighs in on the Impact it can have on You

Sadhguru: Music has a way of impacting your soul. However, can it surpass the physical realm to bring out something more holistic within ourselves? Sadhguru believes that it is possible with certain types of music. Although it is generally viewed as something external, i.e. Karma, it might not be the case at all times.

What is Kriya

In the Kannada language, there is a popular saying that is widely believed, which states that another person's deeds become yours if you talk about it. As life's purpose is to seek the pleasant, morality tells us to avoid the unpleasant and consciousness to nurture the pleasant i.e. Kriya. Kriya affects the core of a human being by structuring it. Therefore the impact of Kriya can be impactful beyond the physiological self.

Indian Classical music's impact

In Indian classical music, musicians do not just follow a tune and perform. However, the pieces performed by them are highly structured in terms of mathematics which possess the power to transform the physiological and psychological realm. There 7 seven notes that identify the seven colours of the rainbow or the 7 chakras in the body. These represent the elements and through it's mathematical structure, they can offer a unique essence to the soul.

However, music enters the heart before it enters the brain. In yoga, internal healing and alignment happen through the heart chakra, therefore feeling is more important than thinking. With good music, it hits your heart, further raising the vibrations.

Can music be a form of Yoga?

Sadhguru talks about exploring the potential of music and whether it could transcend the Karma, or external to become something of Kriya, internal. Music has the power to hit the chords of your heart that influence the innermost part of the soul, where it can heighten the perception of a person and lead to spiritual progression. Therefore, if listened to the deeper undertones of music, it can be a form of Kriya or Yoga that can aid in the transformation of mind, body and soul.
