 | | 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. |

| | This draws most of its influence from secular music of the late 20th century and is the most popular kind of Christian music in the Western world. | | | There is virtually no record of the earliest music of the Christian church except a few New Testament fragments of what are probably hymns. | | | While Brazilian Protestantism came to be dominated by pasteurised CCM-influenced pop music, there was a period from the 1970s to the early 1990s when there was a creative movement adapting various Brazilian styles, mainly MPB, to religious meanings and even congregational singing. |

| | A Tribute to Hinduism - Hindu Art |
| | Whilst Indian music represents the most highly evolved and the most complete form of modal music, the musical system adopted by ore than one-third of mankind is Western music based on a highly developed system of harmony, implying a combination of simultaneously produced tones. | | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | Jazz and the Subcontinent |
| | 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. | | | Indian-influenced music seemed to explode into western culture when George Harrison of the Beatles studied with Ravi Shankar in the 1960s, but avant-garde musicians and jazz performers had discovered the joy and versatility of classical Indian music long before. | | | 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. |

| | Music actually serves for us precisely the functions Hsun Tzu says it did in ancient China, and actually for the most part fails to serve the purposes ascribed to it in western aesthetics. | | | Just a few bald assertions: what western aesthetics hates about popular musics is that people actually listen to them, that theyre accessible. | | | And then Ill ask my students about how their choice of music helps them place themselves culturally. |
