“As a student of Maharishi Gandharva Veda music at Maharishi University of Management, I have had a chance to study this most ancient art of music from some of India’s extremely professional, experienced and skilled Gandharvans. The faculty are not only highly accomplished in their knowledge of instrumental and vocal music, but also embody the sacred principles of Maharishi’s teachings, making the experience of study even more enriching and enlivening. On completing my minor in Maharishi Gandharva Veda music, I felt like I had been given a new insight into the world of music. Divine melodies now seemed to resonate within every sound of nature!”
