The healing touch #IndiaNEWS #Feature
Be it Classical, Pop, Rock, or Jazz, music remains a part of all human cultures and societies since eternity. Music not only pacifies the problems of a person, it keeps the mind and soul cheerful. It also has been a crucial component in all forms of entertainment. However, the biggest contribution of music to human civilisation is its healing power.
Ahead of World Music Day, June 21, Sunday POST caught up with a few music therapists who shared their views on the magical power of music.
Miraculous ragas
The practice of music therapy has helped Dr. Sucheta Rakshit save quite a few lives. Â Rakshit, the first person in Odisha and only the second in India after Dr Bhaskar Khandekar of Jabalpur, to have a doctorate in Music Therapy on Neurology, says she has seen miracles happening before her eyes. People, who lose their senses in accidents, have immensely benefited after undergoing music therapy. With the therapeutic treatment, they not only have gained sense but also have overcome the memory loss, she states.
An advisor to Indian Board of Alternative Medicines, she claims, there are cases when people have recovered from depression, headache, migraine, blood pressure, diabetes and post-operative recoveries, infertility and natal handicaps if treated with required ‘Raga’ for their respective ailments.
Dr Rakshit has successfully treated neuro patients and their corresponding ailments with different musical ‘Ragas’.
“Raga Sarang is applied for headaches, Raga Malhar is mostly used as stress buster, Raga Bhairavi cures asthma/ sleeplessness, Raga Darbari for cardiac ailments, Raga Pancham eases stomach ailments and Raga Shivranjani is applied to address memory loss. The variations of frequency in different ragas can stimulate the dying tissues,� adds Balasore-based Rakshit, a former producer of Doordarshan who has bagged multiple honours for her contributions to the society in various forms.
Impact on plants, animals
Aurosish Pani, a classical vocalist in Odisha shares his understanding of application of ‘Ragas’ to heal illness. The Associate Professor at Shankar Mahadevan Academy acknowledges how people are embracing music therapy both globally and in India.
“This is beyond genres of all kinds of music. It acts as a big time catalyst in assisting people to accept the medication� says Pani.
“There is no dearth of instances when experimentation of music on flora and fauna yielded amazing results. Studies also suggest how music has stimulated growth in plants when they are exposed to classical music and how humans have been able to tame the wild with melodies�, he states.
Power of music
Sharing the profound effect of music on individuals, eminent Hindustani Vocalist Pandit Debendra Narayan Satapathy says, “Music therapy that is emerging now in medical science has been in the Vedas since ages.
