Times Music launches Jagjit Singh's 'AUM'
MUMBAI: Times Music brings to you the latest in the spiritual genre, 'AUM', rendered by the singing maestro Jagjit Singh. The album comprises 4 tracks with AUM resonating in the background of soulful, heart - warming music.
AUM assumes great significance in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhist faiths. It symbolize the entire universe and encompasses both Creation and Destruction. Essentially, Aum is a syllable derived by the amalgamation of three separate syllables - A, U, M - which represent the three divine entitiles, and when uttered or written together, symbolized the holy trinity. The 'A' in AUM stands for Lord Brahma, the creator of the Universe; 'U' for Vishnu, the preserver; and 'M' for Lord Shiva, the destroyer. Together, these syllables combine to form the Alpha and Omega - the beginning and end of everything. Such is the sacredness of this holy symbol that it is used before the commencement of all things sacred - a puja, ritual, or mantra. The sheer power of this symbol lies in the fact that it is actually believed to be the Voice of God in the Patanjali Sutras.
In this album, Jagjit Singh, in his mellifluous voice and characteristic style, brings alive the power of AUM and expresses how this sacred sound can be sung in a variety of ways. Jagjit Singh's beautiful voice transcends listeners into a realm of tranquility and enables them to get in touch with the peace that lies within them. A beautifully composed album, it will provide listeners with the much - needed relief in these stressful times. A wonderful listening experience for everyone, spiritual or otherwise.
