| The compact disc "In
Meditation" has been created by Sw. Deva Sangitam over a period of two years
combining his skills as a meditation leader and master musician. His spiritual master Osho has said that music can be one of the
simplest and easiest ways to bring us into a space of silence and meditation.
Sangitam has used mostly handcrafted acoustic instruments
in order to produce a blend of natural sounds and vibrations. In his search, rediscovery
and creation, he seduces us into relaxation as well as alertness, the two wings of
meditation. The instruments used come from widely varying traditions and cultures such as
tibetan, Native American, as well as contemporary Western. The sources are both old and
new and are from far and wide.
They are united into a spiritual, holistic vision
creating the climate for "the new man".
Five tracks of music totaling sixty minutes, are followed
by one track of five minutes of silence, then the sound of a cymbal. This interval of
silence invites us to travel ever more deeply inward where even sound is no longer needed
in order to taste the beauty of witnessing and non-doing, the essence of meditation.
