        abstract = {Music is a unique creation of God, which has no beginning or end. Music is the visible form of 'Brahma' and a unique gift of God to all living beings. Like many other genres, the Vedas are considered to be the basis of music. Music is the best among all the arts of the world. According to Sangeet Darpan:- "DharmaarthaKamaMokshanaamidamebayasadhanam." That is, there are four goals of the world - Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. The only means to achieve all these is 'Naad' or music. Music art provides both worldly and spiritual happiness. Music's dominance is acknowledged from the human world to the divine world. The Padma Purana describes the great rewards of singing and dancing with devotion before God. In the Srimad Bhagavata Purana, Lord Krishna tells Anant Uddhava: "Some time must be set aside for activities like singing my praises, dancing, enacting my deeds, telling and listening to my stories." Since ancient times, the primary purpose of Indian music has been to establish harmony between the soul and the Supreme Being. Therefore, the gentle and delicate form of God can easily be seen in the tears of devotees moved by music.},
