Food for the ears

Music is divine, is there any other word to explain it better? I love attending weddings where everyone come in their best makeup – hearty smiles. We can enjoy the different shades of color and ornaments which add beauty to the people and the place. The wedding which I went this evening, added more to it. A musical troop of 6 and their flute, tabla, mruthangam and drums with an appropriate mixture of experience, youth and passion lit up the whole place.

With the fascinating sound drilling deep inside the soul, eyes filling with tears, heart the world’s joy, mind with complete emptiness, the sense of existence beyond this world – is this any kind of enlightenment?

‘Seviyukku unnavu illatha podhu …’ I experienced the powerful meaning of the saying.
