Summary of our vision and background to
Buddhist Music
To revive and promote the ‘almost’ lost music theory and compositions of the ancient Buddhist masters, known only to a handful of Buddhist Music Masters (Sangīta Theras) in remote parts of India and Pakistan, Afganistan and India. We have met two such elders, one of whom has now sadly passed away.These elders are referred to as ‘Mausiqi-ke-Theray’ or ‘Sangīta Theray’.
=================
This music theory, originally known as ‘Theron ka Sangīta Vigyan’ (Literal meaning: Scientific music knowledge of the elders) now called ‘Theravi Music’, has been hidden from the masses for approximately two millennia, i.e. since the fall of the Buddhist Mauriyan empire which was accompanied with genocide of Buddhist monks and the complete annihilation of Buddhist monasteries. With this came the decline of Buddhism and Buddhist thought throughout the very land (Jambudeep) in which the Great Buddha lived. Naturally, with this came the destruction of Buddhist music too.
Our twofold aim (both being two side of the same coin):
(1) To internationally spread/promote Buddha’s wisdom of compassion, justice, tolerance, peace and security through music as taught by the “Mausiqi ke Tharey”.
(2) To revive/ rekindle/promote the philosophy, psychology, beauty, mathematics and science behind “Theravi Music, The music if Buddhism”., Starting from where it was first created and then destroyed, thereby filling the theoretical and musical void created in North-Indian Classical Music.
How?
By connecting Buddhists and other music lovers globally through listening to and understanding Theravi Music.
“WITH THE REVIVAL OF BUDDHISM IN LAND OF THE BUDDHA,
(JAMBUDEEP) HAS COME THE REVIVAL OF BUDDHIST MUSIC”
