The Greatest Music Lies Within

The most sublime and divine music exists within us, echoing with every heartbeat. This intrinsic symphony is in perfect harmony with the cosmos, reflecting the macrocosm within our microcosm. Our heart's chords are in perfect balance, creating a natural melody that resonates with the cosmos. However, when we fail to understand this harmony and interfere with our thoughts and actions, it causes discord and imbalance. In reality, we are not just reflections of the cosmos; we are the cosmos itself, existing in a state of perfect balance.


To connect with this divine symphony, we must silence our mind, allowing ourselves to become one with the music and experience the bliss of unity. Two powerful mantras can guide us in this journey: "Om" and "Soham". "Om" means "the universal sound" or "the sound of the universe", and "Soham" (सोहम) means "I am That" or "I am the universe", affirming our identity with the cosmic essence.


The musical instrument is within us, comprising our brain, heart, and gut.Om and Soham, serve as sacred gateways to the inner sanctum of our being, where the divine musical instrument resides.As we recite these Mantras, we cause a perfect balancing act of mind, breathing, prana, and heartbeats. This harmony is the rhythm, symphony, and language to connect with the spirit and universe, symbolizing the unity of self and cosmos.


As we tune into this inner music, embracing the power of "Soham", we realize our true identity: "Aham Brahma Asmi" (I am the universe). This realization leads to a deeper understanding of wisdom, allowing us to experience the ultimate truth: "Aayam Atma Brahmha" (I am the universe, I am the soul, I am the creator).


With each reverberation, our consciousness awakens, and the harmony of the universe resonates within us, guiding us on the path of self-discovery and enlightenment. Thereafter the celestial music of the mantras forever echos within our hearts, illuminating our journey towards unity and ultimate truth.We become the music itself, harmonizing with the cosmos in perfect synchrony, and our consciousness awakens to its innate wisdom, revealing the ultimate truth: we are the universe, the soul, and the creator. 


In this state of unity, we realize the ultimate truth: "Prajnanam Brahma" - Consciousness is Brahman. We are no longer just listeners, but the music itself, harmonizing with the cosmos in perfect synchrony. With the potent sounds of mantras, we strike the chords of our inner cosmos, giving rise to a sublime symphony of awareness and wisdom. Let's tune it to create a joy within and music for others. Let everyone around us get enthralled by this music of love, compassion, and kindness.

Piercing the Veil of Reality: Plato, Vedanta, and Quantum Physics

What is reality? If everything is one and made of energy, why does it appear fragmented and separate? Why do we each perceive it differently? For millennia, across cultures and civilizations, sages and philosophers have sensed that the world we perceive through our senses is not the whole truth. Beneath the visible lies the invisible. Behind the transient is the eternal. Beyond form and change, there is an unchanging essence. From the philosophical insights of Plato to the spiritual revelations of Vedantic sages, and now the discoveries of quantum physics, a striking convergence begins to emerge. What appears as reality is only a projection, not the ultimate truth. Plato, the philosopher of ideals, viewed the physical world as a shadow of a higher, perfect realm of Forms. Everything we encounter—trees, animals, human actions—is, in his view, an imperfect reflection of an ideal Form that exists beyond the material plane. There is a Form of Beauty that all beautiful things participate in...

The Interplay of Neuroplasticity, Subconscious Mind, and Sanskara

The intricate complexities of the human brain, akin to hardware, and the mind, akin to software, have long fascinated scientists, philosophers, and spiritual seekers alike. Recent advances in neuroscience have illuminated the remarkable process of neuroplasticity, a phenomenon that allows our brains to rewire and adapt to new experiences and learning throughout life. This concept shares fascinating parallels with the subconscious mind and the ancient spiritual notion of Sanskara (mental imprints), offering profound insights into the nature of human transformation. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize and refine neural connections in response to new experiences, learning, and environmental changes. This adaptability enables us to acquire new skills, recover from injuries, and even rewire thought patterns. It challenges the once-held belief that the brain is fixed and unchangeable, highlighting its dynamic and ever-evolving nature. The subconscious mind, a conc...

Krishna as Mentor (Published in Speaking Tree of TOI on June 15 2019)

GANESH KOLAMBAKAR likens Krishna to a good coach or mentor, who provides vital guidelines to living a conflict-free lifeWhile learning business management lessons and also simultaneously trying to understand ancient scriptures, Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita, I came to an interesting conclusion that Krishna was the best mentor, coach and guru. Today, many corporate employees, often, don’t find a good mentor or coach, who can help them in resolving conflicts, which affect their motivational level, thereby limiting them in realizing their true potential. That’s why, we find that stress levels and resultant health ailments are high in the corporate and business fields. While many corporations and business units have several welfare measures to take care of their employees’ health, true success in these endeavours will be achieved only through self-management; by resolving intra conflicts, conflicts within. Inner battle or upheavals within should be addressed, rather than treating visible sym...
