RE: ecoTrain Question of the Week: “What was one of the most profound spiritual moments of your life?”
Singing, music has such a beautiful presence in Israel. Not that i have been there but some places in India are called Tel Aviv :-) I remember the most lifting bhajan evenings with angelic hebrew voices but i also recall the most amazing musicians that were never shy to try playing with me. This is the part i like most about the Israeli's, will not speak about the other parts, has nothing to do with this post :-)
But singing as a religious happening, yes, i love bhajan or kirtan evenings and the 1 time out of 10 it is really spiritually uplifting overshadows the 9 other times. Nice post.
It would be an interesting post to compare a bunch of different cultural examples of meditative melodies. While looking up a few things I found a video of a guy here in Boulder (an Israeli who probably toured India after army service) who organizes and plays kirtan music events. I might have to check it out someday.
Yeah, I learned to love public singing growing up there. So many memories include singing together.
