🌻 The Musical Devas 🌻

All these vibrations are called “music” in the Vedas, the harmonies of the cosmos, and the Gandharvas are thus called the musical Devas. 

In artistic representation they therefore hold musical instruments in their hands. What we discover on the conscious plane as music has its basis on the Deva plane of existence to which we are usually unconscious. 

A musician judges the musicality of sounds by these standards which are felt by him through intuition and partly realised through his intelligence. The physical location of this function is in a centre which we call the pineal gland. 

It is located in a cavity of the cerebrum, and nearby there is the pituitary gland. The Gandharvas are functioning between the two glands and their work creates a subtle fiery connection or light-bridge. 

The pineal is the cause of the musical sensibility and also its forms of expression as respiration, circulation and behaviour. 

When the pineal is disturbed there are serious disturbances in the behaviour of a person. The intelligences working in the pineal gland are part of the staff of Shamballa. 

Their functions are expressions of the music of the Gandharvas coming down from the subtle planes to the dense physical.

The Gandharvas are also called the blissful Devas and they convey the highest bliss. 

Happiness relates to the happiness we experience through the senses and the body – doing sport, dancing, or travelling. Some also seek happiness with the help of mental activities. Joy relates to the soul. 

Bliss is a state where the soul goes beyond its individual existence and merges with the universal soul. We address this bliss of existence in the invocation, “Master, please let us receive … the bliss of existence…”

When the individual soul attunes to the universal soul, it ceases to exist as an individual. When we come back from this bliss, we know that we have experienced it. But the bliss is beyond any definition. 

It is the final grace that the Lord can shower on us. Even the greatest initiates crave for this bliss which is bestowed by the presence of the Gandharavas. 

Music is originally closely linked to this self-forgetfulness of musing. Forgetting oneself means merging with the source. This is caused by sound.
