Instructor: RishimaLanguage: English
Drawing on her unique Indo-Trinidadian roots and years of study in Indian classical music, Rishima Bahadoorsingh will guide students through an exploration of the basic musical and spiritual principles of Raga. These principles and practices can be a gateway to the realization of profound beauty, serenity, and divine awareness in our lives.
Verses on musical sciences such as Raga and mantra chanting are recorded in the Vedas (1500 BCE – 500 BCE), the oldest Hindu scriptures. The chanting of mantras and hymns from the Sama Veda was practiced by yogis, sadhus, and the local community. Raga is considered a form of Nada Yoga—the Yoga of Sound.
The word Yoga means “Union,” and by studying Nada Yoga, we learn to use sound to achieve a deep sense of unity with nature and the divine.
Poetic themes of devotion, love, humanity, divinity, the natural cycle (seasons), and spiritual concepts are interwoven with Raga (melody) Tala (rhythm) and Bhava (emotion). These have the ability to take singers, musicians, and listeners deeper within themselves, to reach states of love, peace, and, truth.
