Absorbing Awareness in an intricately sanctified space
As one begins to soak in the subtle healing energies in the sanctified space, while one settles down to explore the purity of listening sessions. However, most of us need to be reminded that listening is an appreciative art of being aware of the smallest nuances and details. One will clearly define the difference between ‘receiving’ and ‘absorbing’ music versus perceiving it with our sensory faculty.
Himalayan Kriya Yoga and Yoga Nidra
Yogi Pradeep Ullal welcomes the aspirants to the profound techniques of Himalayan Kriya Yoga as a means to open the fine-tuning of the body and also unlock the neuron channels in the pre-auditory cortex in the brain. With our spine held upright, our breath extended and our brain absorbed in the inner silence allows us to grasp the sonic bliss waves and musicality. It’s important to be hydrated and not stimulated by any other beverages so that one can attune to the undistorted flow of sonic waves.
Kriya Yoga techniques can be used effectively to prepare oneself to remain alert, awake, and aware to grasp the nuances even in long-drawn music preview sessions. The techniques are simple and effective to remain switched on to higher awareness. There can’t be a better drug than music for a passionate Rasika, who can celebrate the induced flow within.
Power of pure, divine music
Yogi Pradeep welcomes aspirants to stunningly beautiful musical pieces on an exotic stereo set up for igniting a sonic celebration within every pure listener. Though music is a personal choice, there is enough integrative power in music that is artistically rendered, recorded, and reproduced by truly gifted beings. Cosmically inspired, calibrated music will heal our emotions also unlock the bliss chemicals produced by neurotransmitters in the brain. Usually, there is no fixed playlist followed by the Yogi. He is known for his ability to recall soul-stirring music on the fly and he admits it’s an intuitive ability and feels like a cosmic whisper in his ears to pick and play a song from his ‘Diamonds Forever’ collection drawn from an assorted world-music library. He feels alive when there is a sense of pressure to churn out the best that an audience would embrace. He is fondly called the Cosmic DJ by ardent listeners.
There are testimonials about him and the fact that he induced 30 aspirants into an ecstatic trance in a mid-day Shaktipat session in the mountains of Lebanon. The sheer power of calibrated music, combined with pure acoustics and energy transmissions by the yogi truly carries its impact. This is no magic, but the science of ‘cymatics’ amalgamating with the bio-photonic flow that ignites the kundalini within a ready aspirant.

Godliness lies in the finest details
The Human body was designed through encoding of DNA with calibrated hymns in its rhythmic meter and hence it responds the fastest when exposed to ragas, hymns, and devotionally empowered music.
The sacred golden ratios and design needs to be honoured. As humans, we are exploring, experimenting and eventually elevating to meet with our cosmic design of the body and all its expressions. The human voice is the finest and most versatile instrument of expression of devotion, emotion and dexterity on this plane of existence. A few gifted beings pass through this plane and remind us of the cosmic nature.
