About Universal Mysticism, the Art of Union with the Cosmic
The poet Tulsi Das wrote Rudrashtakam, an octet to the Formless.
This octet is very good and I had experienced my Kundalini rising, as I pondered
on its meaning.
“The Internet is the best place to talk about God”, said Pope Benedict XVI.
Sacred Music or Gandharva Music can definitely elevate the
Kundalini. After all, the Universe is one Cosmic Dance and let us
dissolve in that Cosmic Dance, which is Bliss Absolute.
Listening to Sacred Music, we elevate our Consciousness from the mundane
level to the supra-mundane level. The Point of Bliss becomes accessible to the
divinely intoxicated mind, the Point where Truth, Art, Poetry and Music meet.
