Thus, in the musical notes is embedded subtly the process of evolution in thought, word and action. It is but natural for almost all spiritual seekers from different civilizations across the globe, resorted to the path of music for redemption, so much so that, in this Kaliyuga (current age) the easiest way to redemption has been described as the method chanting the glory of the Lord (Namasankeertanam). This worshipful reverence to NADA — the absolute and infinite and its manifest form — the divinity (Nada Tanumanisham) and its mediation in the path to Spiritual Absolution is referred to as the NADA YOGA. Dwelling in that state of ecstasy is likened to the RAGA SAGARA (the unfathomable ocean of Music) — Thus Nada Yoga Raga Sagara is an earnest attempt to liberate the individual form the bondage and suffering. It is an endeavour to unshackle the individual from the realms of the mechanical mundane stressful cacophony. It is an endeavour to enable him to enjoy the bliss of the sweet symphony of the soul that is supposedly the panacea of all suffering. All externally manifest music is nothing but a tainted infinitesimally small part of the all pervading divine Nada. 

Even the manifest music at the physical level has been shown to have innumerable benefits such as, audio analgesia; alleviating stress; anxiety plus pain before, during and after surgery; invasive medical procedures; achieving emotional balance; improving communication skills plus learning; enhanced concentration, creativity and improved quality of life especially in lifestyle diseases. Music provides solace and is an effective support in managing groups with special needs; physically mentally handicapped children and adults; their families; elderly people; newborn babies including prematurity; critically sick people; chronic pain syndromes; behavioural disturbances and the terminally sick. I have been able to help a number of such people with my music. Scientific experimentation too has clearly established the role of music in regulating the heart rate, muscle tension, neural hormones responsible for pain perception, emotional balance and immune responsiveness. Thus it is clear that while music therapy is an intervention at the physical, mental and emotional level, Nada Yoga in addition is an intervention at the spiritual level too and more effectively addresses the issues of effective communication with the self. This process is more fundamental and should be the essential goal of every human existence for all energy sprouts from within and all repair and resurrection starts from within. Music is capable of making us strong. It answers the deepest demands of the soul. It unites us. It elevates us. It makes us capable of sustaining the wear and tear; stress and strain of life and soothes us at times of disharmony. It is a great companion. If appropriately used with conviction it is no doubt a very effective and safe tool for healing the body and mind at various levels. 

While the medical fraternity is constantly struggling to provide solace to the grief stricken humanity through newer and newer medical innovations, music therapy as a preventive and therapeutic tool is a cheap and effective adjuvant. As more and more scientific data is accumulating to support the rationale use of music as a therapeutic tool in various scenarios, the day is not far when such interventions would become an essential prescription for everyone. Not only that "Music heals the healer too" and it is here that Swamiji likes to recommend that people of the highly stressed professions like the medical fraternity themselves, become good listeners of soothing music. It would certainly enable them to perform more effectively in alleviating the suffering of fellow humans.
