ABSTRACT
Universe is Naad i.e. The sound and the vibration. Universe has originated from the pattern of frequency and therefore the matters that seem firm including the emotional, physical and mental and even the spiritual realms are all through the Naad: the sound and the vibratory basis. Einstein even formulated and accepted this fact of origin of universe. According to “Einstein”: ‘Every atom and molecule is formed out of energy vibrations’. Everything around us is musical. Music gives us the capability to express the deepest intuitive feeling of human soul. Every individual has unlike ways of evincing the inner self through different forms of habituating music. Some prefer just listening to different genres of music, other might just like to play an instrument and some prefer to meditate or chant holy hymns or sincere chants of praise, which helps in lifting up the mind to a sublime state. Music has played crucial role in spreading religious chants to a great extent especially in Hinduism and Buddhism. In Hinduism ‘Om’ and in Buddhism ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’ and ‘Nam Myoh Renge Kyo’ has played an awe-inspiring role in human beings life, through the mystical vibrations that generates while chanting these hymns.Further in my paper I’ll be elaborating more on the reflection of music on Buddhism including the chants: Om, ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’ and ‘Nam Myoh Renge Kyo’ with brief historical background, it’s effect on body and personality when chanted melodiously. There is also a strong relationship between music and health in Buddhism.
