A Musical path: Discovering the Potential and Significance of Music used for Higher Purposes
Although my musical path was firstly built since an early age by being next to music Maestros while growing in India, there was a total different training that came later since my early-twenties, when I worked close to some spiritual masters. The first experience was next to Osho, when he was still in the body, who very strongly introduced the significance and importance of incorporating music in the genre of meditation already back in the 1970s. So working around him was an active and fruitful training, as around his devices, music always had a prime place. This view of music, started sinking in my musical ear slowly slowly and now after all this years, I can really value the musical path life has put me through, since my work would have never been the same without those sensible influences.
In my personal experience, having worked in the field of mystical music around enlightened ones for so many years and even organizing music for whole 40 day retreats certainly made an immense difference. As a musician, it taught me to let go of fixed structures and open the mind to new dimensions in music, lifting the creativity and imagination beyond classical trainings and frameworks of learning, but instead exploring the use of music to go beyond the mind, towards its ultimate purpose.
