Album Notes

The Rudra Vina is a magical instrument. Legend has it that over 4000 years ago Lord Shiva created the rudra vina in the mountains of northern India. Shiva created and played the vina to promote deep meditative states leading the seeker to enlightenment! Myths tell of the lone sadhu(holyman) playing the rudra vina in the deep forests of India. Hearing the sounds deer and other wild animals - even the cobra joined the sadhu in peaceful meditation of the cosmic vibrations.
