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.
