Maharishi Gandharva Veda music—the “Eternal Music of Nature”—restores balance in Nature and promotes peace in the world.

What Is Vedic Music?

Scientists tell us that the most fundamental level of the universe is a field of vibrations or frequencies. Thousands of years ago in India, Gandharva Veda sages were able to fathom the fundamental frequencies and rhythms of Nature and mirror them through Vedic Music. This beautiful tradition has been passed down for generations from teacher to student and is now available throughout the world.

Maharishi Gandharva VedaSM music is a powerful tool for creating balance and harmony in the listener and peace in the world. Maharishi says, “Gandharva music is universal. It is at home with every land, with every man, with every society. It is the language of bliss, the science and art of bliss, the song of Nature.”

Maharishi Gandharva Veda music is based on melodies called Ragas. Each Raga replicates the qualities of Nature at different times of day and night. Each day is divided into eight three-hour periods, which correspond to the changing qualities of Nature throughout the day. Specific Ragas are played during each time period to restore balance in Nature for that time of day.

A wide selection of Ragas is available on audiotape and compact disk. It’s best to listen to Maharishi Gandharva Veda in a comfortable position—sitting or lying down—with the eyes closed. It can be played 24 hours a day in a quiet room of your home or workplace. Even when no one is listening, the music generates a peaceful, soothing atmosphere that uplifts the whole environment.
