Music has
a great deal of influence over mankind. With the advancement of human
civilization they realized the importance of Music. From the beginning
of the Vedic age two parallel streams of Music have been flowing in
human life. One is Folk Music by which man can easily relate with their
day to day life. Another is a bit tough, Classical Music by name meant
for the Class People. Both are taken as Tradition or Heritage of our
country.
India, our country, is enriched with many Religious Views. The
fundamental views of all the religions are as same as the concept of the
Veda. The followers of the Vedic Culture searched for the Truth through
Self- Realization and Scientific Analysis. Their Philosophical Thoughts
undoubtedly reflected on the Art and Culture of our country. Alike other
branches of Education, different aspects of Music were also cultivated
by them. At different ages many great Philosophers as well as Preachers
appeared in order to shower the drops of Peace and Happiness in the
human life. These great souls stood beside the poor and distressed
people without discriminating caste and class of the society. The names
of Jesus Christ, Gautam Buddha, Sri Chaitanyadeva, Swami Vivekananda,
Mahatma Gandhi etc. are important for spreading the message of
Fraternity and Philanthropy to the mankind. Some of the Philosophers
delivered their messages through poems which have everlasting value and
kept as ‘Bhajan’ in the mind of the people.
Music plays a vital role to develop mental structure and enhance
sensitivity. The expression of Music is rightly executed through the
application of authentic texts and proper emotion. It makes a man
aesthetically sound and the practice of Music among the young generation
helps to reduce anger, violence and other unfair activities.
