Indian Classical music

i really agree with you friend,and welcome to mylot,i too have learnt carnatic and hindustani for more than 10 years and i am familiar with it,thanks for starting this discussion as all say only the mozart and so on,you are a person from india..am i right?welcome to mylot,add me as your friend and you are allowed to ask all doubts to me through the private messages in mylot,bye!

I like classical music and learning south Indian karnatic music for the last 15 years.Professionally i am not a musician,still i like to sing music in temples and functions.There is something special in karnatic music.By singing only you can experience it.

I am not sure about the mythological connection of music. What I do know as a musician is that I am at peace with music. It releases my stress, it helps me rejuvenate myself. It takes me to a different plane emotionally. And isn't that supposed to be what divine intervention does? To me, music that soothes and calms is divine. Indian classical music, folk music, devotional music all have this calming, soothing effect. Of course for it to be calming and soothing, music needs to touch you deep down, whatever its forms. So, I wouldnt go about putting Indian music on a pedestal and implying in the bargain that it is superior to other forms of music. What I will say instead is that Indian classical music touches ME and that is what matters, isn't it?
