The Music of Durga Ma
Make Meditation Simple and Easy
Experience unique musical journeys by a spiritual master and musician, and let the music meditate YOU.
Anyone who has difficulty meditating should use Durga Ma's music. Not only is it exquisitely beautiful, it does all the work for you.
"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 specifically for this purpose.
You will 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 using the right music is a good place to start, to revive, or to revitalize your meditation.
If you can already go into deep meditation, Durga Ma's music can take you deeper.
"What I mean by 'the right music' is music that is not heavily rhythmic and dominated by indefinite pitched instruments, such as untuned drums. Though it is possible to enter into a trance-like state with such music, if you are meditating to relax, for health and healing, or in order to achieve a meditative state that can take you into samadhi, you will want music that uses definite pitches, tones, and broad ranges of frequencies.
I don't know what Durga Ma does or how she does it, but her music has a huge effect on me. I love it!
The difference between these two types of music is that heavily
rhythmic music is predominantly noise. What I am advocating is not noise, but tone. Why, and what's the difference?
"Tone is produced by regular vibrations of a medium, and noise is produced by irregular vibrations. It is the sound of ordered, regular vibrations, or tones, that affects the brain, the mind, the energy in the body, and the chakras, in a calming, healing, and beneficial manner.
Noise is a stimulant. Tone is a tonic.
"You will learn this on your own when your meditation has advanced, and the life energy flowing through the central channel in your body produces divine music spontaneously. Though this music is not "made" by anything, it is more real than any music you'll ever hear with your ears. This profoundly beautiful and blissful experience does not involve your mind or imagination—your mind is bypassed, your experience is direct and Real. It is God. It is Kundalini playing Her magic flute.
"When you listen to Music for Relaxation, Meditation and Rejuvenation, remember that you are listening to Her work, not mine, and let the music meditate You."
