While words have their intellectual appeal, instrumental music can sometimes create an openness that language cannot. Among the many instrumental pieces Sounds of Isha has created to manifest different ambiences, Madhyamavathi is one of the more beautiful ones. The name reflects the raga on which the song is based. 

We have also had the fortune of some part-time volunteers, who have contributed to our music. We could use this opportunity to say how Sounds of Isha is not just some small group of people in the ashram but consists of so many meditators all over India and the world, all contributing to the music and connected with the common bond of Sadhguru's Grace. 

The flute melody for this piece was composed by one of our meditators. He wanted to offer it to sadhguru and as we worked with it to create a song, we had the fortune of roping in a few more contributors from amongst our volunteers. The result is what you hear. 

We had no particular plan as to what ambience to manifest through this song. However, from our experience, we find that it can be soulful, meditative or relaxing–soothing and settling. 

Let us know how you experience it!

01 - Dhanvantri Dhyana

Согласно пуранам, Рудра произошел из чела Брахмы. Он явился воплощением всего того самого разрушительного и устрашающего, что можно было найти в богах. Покинув место своего рождения, Рудра удалился ото всех богов на севере Индии в горах. Данное божество было властелином над всеми животными, и, следовательно, он имел еще одно имя — Пашупати, то есть Хозяин Зверей.
Изображался он в виде охотника, одетого в шкуры животных, с чёрными волосами, стянутыми в узел. В данном облике он путешествовал по миру, охотился в лесах с помощью своего лука и чёрных стрел.
Женой Рудры была Сати, дочь властелина всех созданий Дакши. Сати безумно любила своего мужа и даже принесла себя в жертву, узнав, что при делении жертв Рудре не выделили ничего.
От Рудры произошли на свет Рудры — ужасные, похожие на змей исчадия, которые всюду следовали за отцом и бросались на всех, кого видели.
Второе поколение, произошедшее от Рудры, было не таким ужасным. Это были Маруты, божества бури. Маруты произошли от связи Рудры с Землёй, при чем Земля приняла облик пятнистой коровы, а Рудра — быка. Его сыновья стали армией и всюду сопровождали его в его славных подвигах и битвах с асурами и ужасными чудовищами.
Рудра Хираньявартани — стремительная сила и движение на пути света.
Рудра-шакти — сила Рудры.
Рудры — некие стремительные и свирепые; группа божеств, иногда идентифицируемая в Ведах с Марутами; впоследствии, 11 или 33 младших божества, ведомых Рудрой-Шивой.

Uma Mohan - Rudrashtakam

“Vairagya” literally means “transparent.” Just as clear flowing water in the river acquires the color of the soil beneath, one who is transparent has no color of his own. Color is a product of the breaking up of light, the basis of our ability to see. Vairagya is an unbroken or “free-of-all-distortion” state that can light the world. It is only in a state of vairagya one can see as It Is. 

Essentially, vairagya means to be as the Creator intended – not bound to any particular aspect of life, the only bond with the Beyond, the source of Creation. Vairagya is the second album in Sounds of Isha’s “Mantra Series,” and consists of chants sung by Isha Brahmacharis.

Mystics have always used sound in ways far beyond the realm of mere entertainment - by breathing in an ethereal dimension into simple rustic sounds from life around to give us a taste of the beyond. A simple twang of the ektara often did what a thousand words could not do to touch people.

Sounds of Isha is Sadhguru's own home grown, anomalous group of 'musicians' - inspired by their deep yearning and sense of gratitude. Dabbling with and melting into their instruments, their work is a subtle fusion of the rich and diverse beings that they are. The group members are full-time volunteers with Isha Foundation, living a life of dedication and austerity; thus, their inspirational songs are usually created after a full day's activity, due to their passion and zest to share a different dimension of the foundation's work.

Their melodies are a fusion of music from different parts of the world - traversing effortlessly and seamlessly across boundaries and cultures. Whilst the music of these songs sooth our minds and the melodies enthrall us, the true potential of the songs is in their capability to instill in us an element of the eternal silence that touches the core of the human being. The performances of Sounds of Isha are set apart to deliver a potent and intoxicating ethereal concoction, transporting those who listen into subtler states of being - becoming the basis for inner exploration.
