In this magnificent tradition of spectacular celebrations by The Art of Living, Naadha Vaibhavam (30 January 2011, Chennai) brings 5000 Carnatic musicians to the stage, to create in unison their own symphonic soundscape. This outreach programme has a twofold thrust - to make classical music accessible to the masses & to offer an experience that goes beyond entertainment and individual virtuosic display to tap the spiritual reserves in performer and listener.

The megascale multiple resonance of Carnatic music, devotion-steeped as it is, can achieve meditative transcendence, uniting the individual soul with the all-pervasive Oversoul. In this nadopasana, worship through sound, singer and listener perceive no difference between Antarnaad and Brahmnaad. At such moments of heightened consciousness, achievable by not just the individual sadhaka, but by the entire global community, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's vision of a violence-free, stress-free, service-minded society no longer remains a utopian dream, but an achievable goal.

Music nourishes every form of life -- plant, animal and human. So say not just the saints of yore, but also the scientists of today.

there are 10 songs which are to be sung by us which has been given in recording by "CHINMAYA SISTERS" .

the songs are:


1.sidhi vinayakam (starts with ganapathi vandanam as usual)

2.anandamrutha karshini

3.nagumomu ganaleni

4.ananda natamaaduvaar tillai

5.venkatachala nilayam

6.maqnasa sanchara re

7.himadri sute

8.aaduvome pallu paaduvome

9.muddugare yashodha

10.raghupati raghava raja ram
