Healing and Balancing Chakra Energy With Music: Omkara - The Sound of Divine Love by Rupam Sarmah Released Today July 15, 2014

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Robin Samora, Inc.) Omkara - The Sound Of Divine Love By Rupam Sarmah Released Today July 15, 2014
With the concept and sounds of OMKARA, I feel like we have brought Indian music a large step forward. It is a unique experience of Eastern and Western music, based on tradition yet with forward-thinking creations of sound.

In literature, poetry, art, philosophy and theology, music has been credited with mood-heightening, emotion-altering, life-saving properties. Science has, over the years, attempted to prove that melodic sound does in fact hold power. Omkara - The Sound Of Divine Love takes the science of music to the chakras - the seats of our energies - to inspire healing and balancing through beautifully arranged tones and elevated vibrations.

The album includes eight tracks, each representing one of the seven chakras (plus an eighth realm called Heaven Bridge). The chakras are energy centers that balance the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual aspects of being, and each can be affected by musical notes. The music meshes the genres of Classical, Ragas, Western music, and World music with deliberately crafted frequencies.

"With the concept and sounds of Omkara, I feel like we have brought Indian music a large step forward. It is a unique experience of Eastern and Western music, based on tradition yet with forward-thinking creations of sound," says Sarmah. In addition to its contribution to the musical landscape, Omkara is based on years of research about ancient music and fundamental science which could affect human body and mind. "My goal is to uplift consciousness in the world however I can. My work reflects the message of Oneness in God, Humanity, World Peace and Love." The research about Omkara Music Therapy is currently ongoing at Disability Institutes and with cancer patients, documenting relief from pain, disease and depression.
