Jagannātha Aṣṭakam Blog by Swamini Atmaprajnananda Saraswati

Jagannātha Aṣṭakam Blog by Swamini Atmaprajnananda Saraswati


//He reportedly composed it instantly when He first saw Lord Jagannātha in the Temple//

rather he must have sung it spontaneously in some appropriate raga , overflowing in bhakthi.towards the beloved lord

this feature of saints choosing the medium of sangeeth , and krishna with his venu gana , and saraswathi being eena pani might me due to the power of sangeeth ,"Shishurvethi, Pasurvethi, vethi Ganarasm Phani hi" (From animals to kids anything on this earth can enjoy music.)., who said this when not known, but it has a healing power, it can even help in growth of  crops , it must be working deep in the being at their gandharva level
krishna swayed the cows became the gopala , and swayed the gopi jana, became the gopijana vallabha 

Dance, drawing and sculpturing are all forms of simple art. 
However these forms do not possess the power to entertain all the living beings equally. 

Sad people forget their sorrow on hearing music and babies calm down and sleep on hearing lullaby. due to  the mystical power music has. The birds becoming still on hearing to music is also due to the power of music.
