Listen "Sacred Music – When Sound Becomes Spirit"
Episode Synopsis
This episode explores how music serves as one of the most powerful expressions of spirituality across religions. In Christianity, Gregorian chants and hymns lift voices in unity, while in Islam, the Qur’anic recitation and call to prayer stir devotion through melodic rhythm. Hindu bhajans and kirtans use repetitive melodies as offerings of love, and Buddhist chants create meditative stillness through vibration. Judaism sings scripture through cantillation, while Sikhism uses kirtan—sacred hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib—to bring equality and presence. Indigenous traditions treat drums, flutes, and chants as living prayers that connect people to land and ancestors. Through personal stories and vivid examples, the episode reveals that sacred music transcends words—its power lies not only in what we hear, but in what our souls feel.
