Abstract

The ancient system of Nada Yoga, which dates back to the time of Tantras, has fully acknowledged the impact of music on body and mind
and put into practice the vibrations emanating from sounds to uplift one’s level of consciousness. It is the Indian genius that recognized that ragas are not just mere commodities of entertainment but the vibrations in their resonance could synchronize with one’s moods and health. By stimulating the moods and controlling the brain wave patterns, ragas could work as a complementary medicine.

Key words: Music, Alternative Medicine, Ragas.
