Treasures of the Maharishi Veda App #4:
Maharishi Gandharva Veda and the Flow of Bliss

One of the three major sections of the Maharishi Veda App is devoted to the music of Gandharva-Veda. In this short newsletter, it is not possible to properly explore this whole delightful topic but we thought to highlight one point especially: Gandharva-Veda and the enlivenment of bliss.’

Maharishi has explained how, ‘The whole universe, all the infinite number of items in the universe, are all different frequencies or sounds; and there is a swing of bliss everywhere in Nature. Think of the earth moving around the sun or the many galaxies and stars all moving, but always with the same motion. It must be a very great satisfaction for the nature of the earth and of the entire starry world just to follow a particular path and never deviate. One would follow that pattern only if it is blissful. The element of bliss, of more and more, must be Nature’s activity. It must belong to Nature’s habit to move in waves of bliss. The eternal harmony of Nature must be a pattern of bliss—the whole of Nature always swinging in the waves of bliss.’

Maharishi continued: ‘Gandharva music is the eternal music of Nature, the melody of Nature eternally the same, going on and on and on in swings of bliss everywhere. Gandharva music is that powerful swing of Nature, those rhythms which are being maintained at all times.’

In future mailings we will discuss this area more, including highlighting some of the world-renowned Gandharvans whose music graces the App, as well as discussing the Rain Melody and its power to restore balance in Nature. We also encourage all those interested to read Maharishi’s historic talk on Gandharva- Veda in this transcript.

We hope you are enjoying the Maharishi Veda App, including its Gandharva melodies which match ‘the swings of Nature that control the passage of evolution in waves of bliss.’ Maharishi considered his offer of Gandharva-Veda to be an important part of his offerings for what we all desire: ‘to hasten the day of celebrating world peace.’
