Indian classical music has no parallel. And if you add a good proportion of mysticism to it, you’re bound to get a sonic potion that can do wonders to your senses. This is a great way to soothe your nerves at the end of a hard day’s work, meditate or even sleep. Check out my selection of albums that blend ancient chants and modern orchestration to get the best of both worlds.

Top on this list is 'Chants of India' by Pandit Ravi Shankar. What can you expect when the sitar maestro himself lays his fingers on the sacred chants from Hindu scriptures and transforms them to music for Western ears? A captivating classic, this collection of mantras and prayers from the Vedas and Upanishads accompanied by flute, tamboura and sitar, was produced by the late George Harrison. Gentle and relaxing!

It is possible to predict what is likely to happen to a person, because of the residual vasnas brouught forward from the last birth need to be addresswed. Hence what is the direction that a particular individual will take is predetermined. The happenings in his lifetime that only he will construct because of his vasnas are also therefore predetermined, but because of the intervention of action which the individual is free to pursue the outcome cannot be predicted. If this was not so then everyone will become robots with no responsibility ror the acitons. In scientific terms it the residual vasnas that determine the fenitic build up on an individual. This information is therefore available in every cell of his body and there is no reason why this cannot be read be a trained person.
