His Holiness Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda
Swamiji has been a leading light in the conceptualization
and propagation of Music for Meditation & Healing.
Sri Swamiji’s music is soothing, relaxing and amazingly
articulate. Sri Swamiji completely understands the
varying vibrational qualities of the different Ragas-the
musical modes of the classical Indian music. During
concerts, He creates an ocean of sound, playing music
that is at once relaxing and soothing, interspersed with
passages that are stimulating and energizing.
Sri Swamiji has been touring the globe for over 25
years popularizing the ancient “Raga Ragini Vidya”.
Sri Swamiji’s main instrument is the synthesizer-the
Datta Veena as He calls it - which is capable of producing
sounds of various instruments.
The versatility of the instrument coupled
with the genius of Sri Swamiji produces the
ultimate musical effect with unusual artistic tapestry.
Just as the colors of the rainbow emerge from white,
Ragas emerge out of Nada, the primal sound OM.
Colors and pure sounds have immense curative powers.
Intense research has yielded the truth to Sri Swamiji that
a specific bird of a distinct hue and a soothing chirp, can
be associated with of each of the 12 signs of the Zodiac.

Sri Swamiji was inspired by the singing of these
birds to compose and play the 12 unique healing
melodies, especially suited for each Zodiac sign. The
birds have lent their ‘singing’ to these tunes. These health-
giving tunes restore balance in the body and mind.
“A parrot, on the other hand,
naturally identifies with and shares
the expressions of all those whom
it notices around it, regardless
of species. It empathizes with
everyone and everything that it
comes in contact with, and blends
its voice with theirs. It makes no
distinction, be it a speaking or
coughing human a meowing cat,
a mooing cow, a barking dog,
a ringing telephone, a beating
hammer, a slamming car door, or
a beeping electronic gadget.
