Will I be able to bring rains through music?
My sister�s comp conked yesterday, and I had to rush to the nearest Reliance WebWorld to send my predictions for online clients. Incidentally I saw someone browsing my blog site � and honestly it was an ego boasting experience. I approached him to ask how he reached my site, and he was taken aback completely and could not recognise me. May be I don�t look the same as in the pic that is showcased on the site (I have much longer hair & bigger beard now). I told him, I am Kennedi, and he was more than happy to meet me � he said he knew me from the days I handled Sify Astrology. I wonder how small the world is. And I also could configure the possible reason why my sister�s computer conked. Now on to my today�s blog�..
My newest passion is music, and I am learning keyboard from one of the music teachers in Adyar. No, I am not focussing on Western music, but I am concentrating more on Indian classical, which is considered to have divine powers.
I know very little about music as of now, but then have heard a lot about few �ragas� Indians had invented that could possibly change external events. For instance, Indian music has special ragas to bring rains, cure people, generating money, changing moods, initiating evil spirits, keeping them away et al.
The modern crowd refuses to accept the divine powers of music. Music in movies & pop star albums are the only ones to get the largest number of acclaim, rest we usually ignore. The maximum we do to understand music is - we either blast them in our car stereos or dance like crazy in a discotheque.
Today very few people use music for the betterment of human beings - Ganapathy Sachitanand, a Godman from Andhra, uses music to cure people. I know doctors would hate to know that or believe that.
I also came to know about an interesting incident where in the famous violinist Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan used his troop to play the �rain� raga and could bring rains in Bangalore. There of course are debates � may be he got a weather report from the meteorological department beforehand, and fixed a date based on it. And there is another debate - what is the big deal in bringing rains in Bangalore, why not in Chennai?
That exactly is the discussion I had with my friend a couple of weeks back. And the bet is I will try to bring rain in Chennai in the month of May 2007, on a date when the meteorological department completely says �NO� to rain.
BTW I prayed for rains yesterday, and it rained! Of course I don�t have documented proof for the same � but it did rain! But what is the big deal in praying for rain in the month of July � it anyways will rain in Chennai :P.
