Naad Yoga / Dhrupad / Mantra Chanting

Naad Yoga is the meeting point of the inner and outer world through the tool of sound.

  • Dhrupad music represents the outer expression of Naad Yoga.
  • Naad Yoga in its essence is the listening to the unstruck sound.
  • Mantra chanting involves the repeated utterance of energetically charged syllables and keywords.

Dhrupad originates from the mantra Om Ananta Hari Narayan and incorporates so-called Nomtom syllables without semantic meaning.


Naad Yoga is the meeting of the of the inner and the outer world – over the tool of sound. Dhrupad Music is the outer part of Naad Yoga, the musical expression. Naad Yoag in a straight sense is the listening of the unstruck sound. Mantra Chanting is the repeated utterance of energetically loaded syllables and keywords. Dhrupad derives from the Mantra «Om Ananta Hari Narayan» and uses socalled Nomtom Syllables without meaning. So Naad Yoga, Dhrupad Music and Mantra Chanting are interrelated. Just the focus is slightly different.
