Borgeet is a devotional form of music created by 15th Century reformer Srimanta Sankaradeva of Assam. Here is a link to listen Borgeet http://soundcloud.com/tiku-1/narayon-kahe-borgeet

I love your comments. Sonia, what a way to start your career in music! Oh to really hear the music of the spheres....

I belong to a choir, and there is great joy in this. Most of the music is quite poppy though, I should really love to tackle some of the great religious works, but one of our members would leave if we did that, as his views are very strong. This is sad, because as some say, God has the best tunes. Some church music is sublime and a true expression of that which is deep within us.

Prem & Deirdre,

I want to echo my agreement!  I became a musician because of an experience of being 6 years old, looking at a gorgeous pipe organ and hearing my congregation singing a line about the "music of the spheres."  As only a child could, I knew exactly what the words meant and knew that I had to become a musician. 

 

We need to sing, play instruments, clap hands, let out whoops and zaghreets, express ourselves ecstatically with the joy of being in the Presence and present.  My Protestant congregation has earned the nickname "The Singing Congregation" and our music director begins each practice with the intent: "Let us serve God through music."

 

That's my wish, too.

Music is boundless and I have found it a fantastic form of expression to help bring about a positive change and reflection to the listener.

Greetings!

One of my spiritual places is my place I called "My Sanctuary of Music"

Music heals, Music calms the soul, and Music makes one happy.

I thank God for giving me songs to write and sing.  It's my way of expressing my soul and to honor God.

Love, Peace, Joy!

Alona

Prem,

What a wonderful rant! I too long for us all to sing together and agree that we don't do it nearly enough. I find that singing or dancing with a group - large or small - nurtures my heart and spirit in ways that nothing else does. It is at the core of human expression and can carry us far beyond our intellectual perceptions and differences. Were you at the Parliament, in Melbourne? At the end of the Youth Plenery, my daughter Isobel (can't help bragging just a little) stood on the stage, sang a song of healing and hope, and invited all who were there to join her. The words went up on a screen and, believe it or not, a lot of people did actually join in! It felt wonderful.

There is so much joy and connection and harmony within us -- I agree, let's share it and spread it everywhere! We sure do need it. 

Blessings and peace, Deirdre
