Music and Spirituality:

Religion, spirituality, and music have long been intertwined with one another: from Christian church gatherings with impassioned sing-a-longs to sacred chants performed in Buddhist temples by monks, it's natural to express faith through song and rhythm. Perhaps even more than other religions, Hinduism is deeply rooted in musical traditions. Devotional songs and mantras are sung in households and temples alike, intertwined with daily rituals of cooking, cleaning, and working; and Indian classical music as a whole is inspired by spirituality.
