The word Dhrupad comes from the words Dhruva meaning polestar, and Pada meaning poetry. Dhrupad is the most ancient field of Gandharva still existing today—it comes from Sama Veda and is a highly appreciated art in India. Dhrupad singers are closest to the original singers of the Veda, which is the flow of the eternal vibration, or sound, of Natural Law that contains within it all the intelligence of creation responsible for the manifestation of the entire universe. Everything in creation is composed of sound, the Gandharvan explained— even our bodies are made of impulses of sound. Hmmm put your Dhrupads on your Ipods. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
