Encyclopedia: Hindub> music

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.
Vaishnodevi is one of the many gods in the Hindub> religion.
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.

A Tribute to Hinduism - Hindub> Art

In Hinduism, the sacred syllable Om embodies the essence of the universe - it is the "hum" of the atoms and the music of the spheres - and sound in general represents the primal energy that holds the material world together.
It is common Hindub> practice to attribute the beginning of a branch of learning to a divine origin through the agency of a rishi.
According to Indian philosophy, the ultimate goal of human existence is moksha, liberation of the atman from the life-cycle, or spiritual enlightenment; and nadopasana (literally, the worship of sound) is taught as an important means for teaching this goal.

History : The Muslim Invasions

Babur was succeeded by his son Humayun and under the reign of Humayun's son, Akbar the Great (1562-1605), Indo-Islamic culture attained a peak of tolerance, harmony and a spirit of enquiry.The nobles of his court belonged to both the Hindub> and the Muslim faiths, and Akbar himself married a Hindub> princess.
Akbar tried to consolidate religious tolerance by founding the Din-e-Ilahi religion, an amalgam of the Hindub> and the Muslim faiths.
Conversely, the languages of the Muslim invaders were modified by contact with local languages, to Urdu, which uses the Arabic script, and the more colloquial Hindustani, which uses the Devnagri script.

Hindustani classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Music has long been important to Hinduism, especially for many Vaishnavite sects.
Hindustani (हिन्‍दुस्‍थानी) Classical Music is an Indian classical music tradition originating in the North of the Indian subcontinent circa the 13th and 14th centuries CE.
In contrast to Carnatic music, the other main Indian classical music tradition originating from the South, Hindustani music was not only influenced by ancient Hindub> musical traditions, Vedic philosophy and native Indian sounds but also by the Persian performance practices of the Afghan Mughals.

CD Baby: GYPSIES OF RAJASTHAN: Desert Charm - from poetrychaikhana

An accomplished group of poets, singers, and musicians from the Barmer district of Rajasthan, the Langas seem to have converted from Hinduism to Islam in the 17th century.
Though both communities are made up of Muslim musicians, many of their songs are in praise of Hindub> deities and celebrate Hindub> festivals such as Diwali and Holi.
The music of Rajasthan is driven by pulsating rhythms created by an array of percussion instruments, the most popular of them being the 'dholak', a double headed barrel drum, whose repertoire has influenced other Indian drums including the tabla.

Balinese Hinduism : The Religion - Bali Sweet Home

Balinese are also highly cultured people in term of art, as each yadnya or Hindub> holy ritual is very often followed by artistical performances to entertain those who assist or participate in the sacred rituals either in dances, music, paintings, or in songs.
In Bali, it is called Agama Hindub> Bali or Agama Hindub> Dharma (literally means Hinduism of Dharma, Agama is an Indonesian word meaning Religion), which in fact is a blend of Hinduism and Buddhism.
That's the reason why Balinese Hinduism is not exactly the same as Indian Hinduism although the religion came originally from India.

Jazz and the Subcontinent

Another reason that Hindustani music may adapt to and blend with other influences is that Persian influences were grafted onto the rootstock of Hindustani music during the Mughal empire (1526-1857) when Islamic law was not tolerant of praising other than Allah, so the creative energy of the music had to be malleable.
Senders has a solid background in western music performance, theory and history, having studied four years with a tutor in Cambridge and two at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, but his first reaction to Hindustani music was one of inspiration and passion.
Subsequent to that, the music that excited me beyond all measure was an LP of Bhimsen Joshi performing Raag Marwa." Bhimsen Joshi is arguably the most significant living performer of Hindustani vocal music.

Indian Music....Explained on CuisineCuisine.com

This "temple music", whether vocal or instrumental, is always directed to a Hindub> god.
The South Indian music is called Carnatic, in reference of the Southern State of Karnataka, and the northern branch, Hindustani, in reference of the Hindi speaking region going to North-West Frontier and to Poorab, the East.
Carnatic music is nearly totally unified and the different schools are based on the same ragas (about 300 different ragas), same solo instruments, mainly the veena, flute, violin and same rhythm instrument, the mridangam and the ghatam.

World Almanac for Kids

Many of the local goddesses of India—Manasha, the goddess of snakes, in Bengal, and Minakshi in Madurai—are married to Hindub> gods, while others, such as Shitala, goddess of smallpox, are worshiped alone.
In the 16th century in Bengal, Chaitanya (1485–1533) founded a sect of erotic mysticism, celebrating the union of Krishna and Radha in a Tantric theology heavily influenced by Tantric Buddhism.
In Bengal, the goddess Durga’s visit to her family and return to her husband Shiva are celebrated every year at Durgapuja, when images of the goddess are created out of papier-mâché, worshiped for ten days, and then cast into the Ganges in a dramatic midnight ceremony ringing with drums and glowing with candles.

Kartik Seshadri

The system of Indian classical music known as Raga Sangeet can be traced back nearly two thousand years to its origin in the Vedic hymns of the Hindu temples.
Unlike western classical music, as much as 90 percent of Indian music may be improvised, depending on the artistic facility and creative imagination of the performer.
Our musical tradition is an oral one taught directly to the student by his guru rather than by the system of written notation used in the west.
