The Music of Durga Ma
"I use music to serve as an attractant for your attention in order to make meditation easier for you. The music I use has been created specially for this purpose. You’ll often hear me say, "Let the music do it for you," and I mean this literally. I say this not just because I have a music background, but because I have studied sound — both tone and noise — and its effect on people, and I have found that universally, music is the strongest attractant most of the time. So this is a good place to start, to revive, or to revitalize your meditation."
— Durga Ma
Music and Meditation
"When your meditation has advanced, and the life energy flows through the central channel in your body during deepest meditation, divine music is heard spontaneously. This music is not produced by anything, but is more real than any music you'll ever hear from a CD. This profoundly beautiful and blissful experience does not involve your mind or imagination — your mind is bypassed, your experience is direct and Real. You have just heard the Song of God: you have heard Kundalini play Her magic flute.
"When you listen to Music for Relaxation, Meditation and Rejuvenation, remember that you are listening to Her work, not mine."
— Durga Ma
The Prophesy
While searching for her spiritual master, an endeavor
that took her nearly three years, Durga Ma encountered a prophesy
involving her music. The wise old woman who spoke this prophesy
had no prior knowledge of Durga Ma or of her previous musical
experience.
The prophesy said that she would find her path
soon, and that after several years of spiritual practice and meditation,
she would return to her music and create a “new music”
that had the power to move the listener into deep meditative states, and to find healing and spiritual growth.
The use of a broad range of frequencies in her
music would affect the listener by activating the chakras and
awakening dormant energies that would open the door to spiritual
transformation. This was many years ago.
In the process of answering a request to tell
the story of her spiritual journey,* Durga Ma recalled this prophesy
and suddenly realized that she was in the middle of its fulfillment.
The prophesy was coming true.
Durga Ma's music is a shaktipat transmission medium.
