	The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies - OCHS - Hinduism and Music
		The Hindu sacred texts contributed in large degree to forming a theoretical basis for music to be recognized as a divine art that awarded all four aims of human life, namely dharma (righteousness), artha (wealth), kama (enjoyment), and moksha (liberation), to both the performer and the listener.
		This integral connection of music with Nada was "essential to Indian views of the soteriological significance of music, for music, as a manifestation of Nada, is seen as a mode of access to the highest reality." Music as such was viewed as both entertainment and as a personal vehicle toward moksha, liberation.
		Hindu religious music incorporated a simple aesthetic that reflected back to these emerging Bhakti movements and their perspectives on music as a means toward communion with a chosen deity.

	Indian Music Religious Music
		Music was not treated as an integral part of the religious rituals but as a separate cultured and aesthetic activity.
		Music, like any other art form, is created by people and is an expression of their lives and culture.
		Thus, with the addition of music to the description of gods and goddesses and their lives, the listener can be transported from the ordinary world to a higher spiritual and moral world.

	Indian Classical Music by Deepika Singh
		It is a fact that today, classical music is not the most favored form of music for the general populace which tends to listen to the more "easy to follow" folk, and lately the pop form.
		Besides the other qualities that assisted Indian music in a fight for survival were a highly scientific structure within which a musician could operate with total freedom, the aesthetic appeal of the music, the melodies and the unmistakable spiritual aspect of the music.
		Music was being converted to a form that everybody could understand, and participate in rather than a handful of court musicians and the royalty.

	The Rhythm of Music - A Magical and Mystical Harmony
		The result was the veena, a musical instrument, whose long neck represents the straight lithe form of Parvati, and the two supporting gourds her breasts, the metal frets her bracelets, and the most expressive of all, the sound generated by this instrument is said to recreate Parvati's own, rhythmic breathing.

		It is obvious that long before the evolution of the musical scale, the musical observers of antiquity, with their amazing observation and uncanny sense of hearing, ascertained the different gradations of musical sound from the calls of animate nature.
		Hindustani music, as we know it today, is but a fusion of the old forms and the new, in which old values have been transmuted and even ancient themes informed, by the new spirit.
		Compared to vocal music, it has to be conceded that instrumental music is not as varied in point of styles and vogues-and that, too, with all the tremendous variety of instruments.

		My first contact with Hindu music had been in Paris, early in 1914, when I met a young French composer, Delage, who had traveled to India and written a few lovely songs based on his remembrances of the vocal and instrumental music that had fascinated him.
