Jagannātha Aṣṭakam Blog by Swamini Atmaprajnananda Saraswati

Jagannātha Aṣṭakam Blog by Swamini Atmaprajnananda SaraswatiThanks on details, on sunanda,and chaitanya 

i liked this rag , even from child hod, '' vande mataram'', and later the national song desha raga, ''miley sur..mera tumhara....''

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

rather he must have sung it too 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 veena pani might be due to the power of sangeeth ,

"Shishurvethi, Pasurvethi, vethi Ganarasm Phani ''., 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 gopis, became the gopijana vallabha 

Dance, drawing and sculpturing are all forms of 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.

apart from reading, the importance of reciting / listening aspect of vedas must be due to this power of music 

other art forms take the aalabana of form / movement/ postures/ color etc
but music is just sound beyond these aalambanas
