Kundalini power and music

[Guest guest]

do you believe mozart music can awaken kundalini?

[Guest guest]

I believe Beethoven music can activate kundalini!

 

Its not the music that activates the kundalini but our way of

listening to it/concentrating through/with it. Of cource, some

musicians managed to compose music of higher vibrational frequency

and this music really has an uplifting effect. Vivekananda says that

kundalini is awakened in all humans, otherwise we would not be alive,

its the level of awakeness that matters regarding spiritual matters.

He claimed there have been scientists, scholars, artists who managed

to create masterpieces because their kundalini awoke by constant

concentration and devotion on their art or science.

I do not know it, but one thing I know definitely: I owe to Mozart

everything - much more than to any shakti-bestowing Guru, books (with

the possible exception of Sri Aurobindo), or meditational experience.

In fact the impression his music left in my soul was so strong and

devastating that since that time I am unable to enjoy a normal life.

It is as if something has hit me in my innermost being which makes

everything else pale in comparison.

 

Nevertheless I perceived right in the beginning that it was something

behind the music, neither the music itself nor Mozart himself.

 

This was a major reason for my getting interested in yoga, but no

doubt it also had a negative impact on two important areas - my daily

affairs and my relation to the other sex. I am hardly capable of

believing in anything at all and of generating the normal kind of

feelings...but without proper motivation it is difficult to get

anywhere. I am stumbling through life like an empty vessel.

 

Long before I knew anything in particular about yoga, I used to refer

to what I perceived behind Mozart's music as "THAT" - an autonomous

Absolute that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and is indeterminable.

I would be shaking for hours, even weeping.

 

This taught me an important lesson, namely that a general composure

is of prime importance in yoga. If any such experience flooded my

whole consciousness with the same intensity it would finish me off.

 

I have later also received some rapturous experiences from listening

to Beethoven, and recently rather traces of it from Wagner, but never

with the same annihilating force and quality of absoluteness as in

Mozart.

 

I know of several people who had the same experience; one of them has

become a close friend of mine. He is also deep into yoga.

 

It is very difficult for me to manage the plunge from music into

Sadhana. Listening to CDs is different from sitting for meditation or

chanting Japa. In my own case I found my experience also incompatible

with the get-a-life westernized Advaita understanding so prevalent

today - my whole being violently rejected it - and have hence taken

refuge in tradition and Ramanama.

 

Here is a related letter by Sri Aurobindo. Apparently this is a reply

to someone with a similar question like yours, though on Beethoven:

 

"There can be no doubt that Beethoven's music was often from another

world; so it is quite possible for it to give the key to an inwardly

sensitive hearer or to one who is seeking or ready for the connection

to be made. But I think it is very few who get beyond being

aesthetically moved by a sense of greater things; to lay the hand on

the key and use it is rare."

Then you mean Mozart's and Beethoven's music is beneficial or not to

a yoga life in pursuit of harmony?

Everything that has an uplifting or harmonizing effect on you can

only be good ;-)
