The poet Tulsi Das wrote Rudrashtakam, an octet to the Formless. Here it is in musical form. This octet is very good and I had experienced my Kundalini rising, as I pondered on its meaning.
“The Internet is the best place to talk about God”, said Pope Benedict XVI. Sacred Music or Gandharva Music can definitely elevate the Kundalini. After all, the Universe is one Cosmic Dance and let us dissolve in that Cosmic Dance, which is Bliss Absolute.
Listening to Sacred Music, we elevate our Consciousness from the mundane level to the supra-mundane level. The Point of Bliss becomes accessible to the divinely intoxicated mind, the Point where Truth, Art, Poetry and Music meet.
