In this talk recorded on February 7, 1980, Rolf Sovik (1947–2026) spoke on the relationship between meditation and nada yoga, the yoga of sacred sound and vibration, and one of the main paths of yoga as described by Swami Rama.
Michael Smith will give a brief introduction before the recording begins.
Nāda yoga (नादयोग) is an ancient Indian metaphysical system, a medicine, and a form of yoga. It is based on the premise that the entire cosmos and all that exists therin, including humans, are made up of vibrations, called nāda. This concept holds that it is the energy of vibrations, which make the particles of matter, and form the building blocks of the cosmos.
The vibrations are classified into two types, silent vibrations of the self (anahata), and sound [and] music (ahata), both of which carry a spiritual weight more meaningful, respectively, than what sensory properties normally provide. They are considered to play a potential medium/intermediary role to achieve a deeper unity with both the outer and inner cosmos.
Nāda yoga’s use of vibrations and resonances are also used to pursue palliative effects on various problematic psychological and spiritual conditions. It is also employed to raise the level of awareness of the postulated energy centers called chakras
.
Music has been used by some Indian saints as an important and powerful tool in the quest for nirvana;notably Kanakadasa
