 | | Hinduism (Sanskrit/Hindi: ; also known as SanÄtana Dharma -, and Vaidika Dharma -) is a worldwide religious tradition that is based on the Vedas, and is generally regarded as one of the oldest religions still practised in the world. |  | | Music according to Herbert Spencer “is the idealized language of the feelings, the natural language of the emotions.” According to him, “it is the result of a long course of evolution.” That is, of course, an objective view of the question, music, as it were, anatomized. |  | | Music is part of the charm of the ocean and of the grandeur of the thunderclap. |
