Music is an eternal deity of love. Music is
a universal truth that defines how space got created when the particles
collided. When two atoms collide with each other it creates a dome of the
vibrational genre that is music. Music is the pulse that creates an oscillatory
effect on the body that is permanent. Music has no sign language, a deaf
persona with his senses can taste the music.
The music is played with the help mixture
of vocals, instruments, and audience. Music is the entity of vibrational force
that when gets stuck with someone's, heart his body gets danced without any
movement of the body. Music is everywhere in this global world
Music creates an influential effect on the
senses. Music gives enlightenment to those whose last wish is to listen to it.
Music provides an energetic luster on the loved ones with the glittery lining
of colors. Music connects loved ones that live far.
When Goddess Saraswati (goddess of arts,
music, and dance) plays Veena: all gods dance with just plucking of a string of
Veena. Music creates a harmonic vibration that makes everyone feel good. Music
is an island of octaves that has no medium.
