Music mantra

 

 

Refer to 'Music Pills for Mentally Ill” (TSI July 21).The Mahatma said once “Our great stumbling block is that we have neglected music. Music means rhythm, order. Its effect is electrical. It immediately soothes”. Also it is interesting to note that music helps in meditation, spiritual practice, well being etc. Low volume good music for half an hour before sleep results in a sound sleep, which makes a healthy life. In studies too–low volume background music results in concentration. But at the same time too loud music is not pleasant as many cinema theatres' speakers are at full volume especially during song!
