A recent opportunity to attend a Sitar recital by Ustad Shahid Pervez and a Mohan Veena recital by Pt. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt made me think about the wondrous nature and impact of music.
The audience for both recitals was a good blend of people of different age groups, and from different parts of the world. It was a testament to the increasing popularity of Indian Classical Music.
For the 2-3 hours that the artistes performed, every member of the audience was transported to a different world ... a world free of our day-to-day worries and concerns ... a world full of harmony and peace.
If the language of the God's is indeed one ... then I am sure it is the language of music. It doesn't matter which part of the world you are in .... the seven (or twelve if you are a stickler) notes of music are the same everywhere. It is the universal language.
