KAILASHA VADHYAM 🥁🥁 Reviving the Sacred Drum Tradition
Every temple and spiritual place has some form of aaradhana, aarti, or devotional performance, music, dance, or sung prayer. Drum beating is one of the most common expressions of this devotion. In South Indian temples it is often highly organised, yet on some occasions the practice loses its purpose and quality.
I have long felt there should be teaching and training to preserve the very old tradition of sacred drumming and spiritual sound. That dream has come true with the Kailasha Vadyam training now happening in Visakhapatnam.
Kailasha Vadyam refers to the music of Kailash, the abode of Shiva. It is an amalgamation of instrumental sounds designed to transform any atmosphere into an experiential Kailash. Many of us have experienced this powerful offering in honour of Shiva.
