"Spiritual" Music pt. 1




















Part 2

Yatha Sidhra - Meditation Mass (1972)























Spiritual Blessing


Pharoah Sanders - Elevation (1973)



















Spark from the Infinite (Part 2)

Terry Riley - No Man's Land (1985)
























Gol-e Gandom

Lloyd Miller - Oriental Jazz (1965)


"Spiritual" is used here in the loosest sense. Although, for many people spiritual music simply means recording flutes, tablas, sarods and dangling bells. I don't see how those instruments are in anyway spiritual, if we mean spiritual beyond the fashionable Westernized fast-food version of spiritual, as meaning Oriental. But for this post, that's exactly what I aim for.

A lovely post, thank you! That Lloyd Miller track is such a killer. I already have it on Jazzman's 'Spiritual Jazz' comp from last year, which is a comp I could wholeheartedly recommend to anyone interested. Also features the brilliant Egyptian, Salah Ragab, that I posted myself earlier this year over at my blog:

For the first time in human history the scientist-saint

Swamy Ramalinga Vallalar has given us a complete science

of immortality and eternity in scientific terms in all

its details.

In the 1860s Charles Darwin published his "Theory of

Evolution". But when the American professor Chancey

Wright asked him,what would be the next stage in human

evolution? He replied that he did not know. But Swamy

Ramalinga Vallalar answered that question positively.

Not only the next stage in Human Evolution but the final

stage was also conducted his experiment in his own
body successfully and realized histeachings. He

transformed his physical body into a body of

wisdom-light. The details are given in these lectures
delivered by
Thiru.R.Kuppusamy.

*Other features covered in these lectures are :*

- Can Humans eradicate the problem of world poverty and

hunger?
- The enlightenment of the human body as well as the

enlightenment ofconsciousness.
- The intelligence born of love as contrasted with that

born ofthought which is nothing but matter thiugh

subtle.
- Can humans ever succeed in attaining total

self-sufficiency in termsof food, breath and knowledge

independently of nature?

Healing music can take many forms. It could be a wood flute, the rhythm of a hand crafted drum or even the wind blowing through the pines. The power of music can lift the spiritual soul spiritual music
