Music is Meditation and Meditation is Music
Introduction
Welcome to another insightful episode of “Zorba the Buddha: Bridging Worlds with Osho,” a podcast series proudly brought to you by the Dwarkadhish Holistic Centre in collaboration with Osho Fragrance. Today, we have the pleasure of welcoming Pramod Kumar Bhatt, known in the spiritual realm as Swami Nilanchal. With the blessings of Ma Priya and Sadguru Shailendra Saraswati ji, Swami Nilanchal has been gently steered towards the profound teachings of Osho, embarking on a transformative journey that continues to inspire many.
Swami Nilanchal’s deep connection with Osho’s teachings has led him to explore the harmonious relationship between music and meditation, a theme he passionately unravels in today’s discussion. His belief that “Music is Meditation and Meditation is Music” offers a transformative perspective, inviting us to experience the symbiotic relationship between these two powerful forms of expression.
Beyond his spiritual endeavours, Swami Nilanchal is a talented lyricist, crafting words that resonate with the essence of Osho’s philosophy. His debut song, “Osho Zamme pe Aapake Aneka Shukriya,” stands as a testament to his dedication and creativity. Through his lyrical compositions, he continues to contribute to the spiritual community, providing a melodic bridge to deeper understanding and enlightenment.
Join us as we journey with Swami Nilanchal, exploring the profound interplay of music and meditation. His insights promise to enrich our understanding and inspire us to embrace the harmonious dance of sound and silence.
