Abstract

The knowledge gained by practicing the north indian tabla drums situates the musician within two spiritual modes of the Hindu tradition: the tantric, via rasa, and the yogic, via bhakti. Is there a limit to the spiritual efficacy of such musical practice? Citing the lack of "common measure between the ends to which riyaz and yoga are used as a means," one scholar contends that riyaz is primarily a "means to acquiring an artistic skill." However, he concludes that musical "riyaz essentially reflects the spiritual modality of bhakti."
