I also wonder why everything Vedic has to be re-branded as Maharishi this and Maharishi that. There are many living masters and Maharishi was one that succeeded communicating the 'TM-technique' - a very old technique - to many people in the West. But it's still the same Sanatana Dharma. :-)

@garsett Thanks.

It is Maharishi's merit that we are blessed today with a type of meditation - Transcendental Meditation - which really works and its effects are scientifically proven. And yes, Maharishi has re-enlivened many aspects of the Vedic literature, as Sthapatya Veda, Gandharva Veda, Ayurveda. Therefore, to honour him, to remember him and to keep the knowledge pure we add his name.

the yaman interpretation from Reshma is awesome, really, but I agree with metaemipricus: it´s hindustani music, and the etawah gharana or similiar classic schools are including the theory about the sound of the nature at the right prahara, too. why should a serious musician need an holy man with white beard, to play indian classic music?

[MaharishiAyurveda]

@thelenious Thanks for your comment. "why should a serious musician need an holy man with white beard, to play indian classic music?". He does not need to of course. However the title and label Maharishi Gandharva Veda refers to and honors His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who has revived this wonderful music. WIthout him many people in the world would have never heard about Gandharva music and its marvelous effects on mind, body, and environment.

@garsett Both Vedic and Maharishi are thoughts in your mind. Even Sanatana Dharma is a thought!

Once you REALLY, REALLY get this; you are free!!! Bless you my child!

Part 2

Music played under such a direction like Maharishi transforms Hindusthani Music into Gandharva Veda Music (the Music of nature itself)!

The Time value is so important & it is not right to play a Raga which one likes to be heard; it is proper to perform a Raga for that special time value at that time.

Also the musicians prepare themselves with good spiritual methods like Transcendental Meditation to float in the Value of the Absolute so that the Audience comes in tune with the Absolute
