?Reading this book was for me a wonderfully joyous experience, something to treasure, especially at the present time of ?Kali Yuga,? the age of conflict. The story of Michael Grosso?s encounter with his one- time music teacher Nada Brahmananda?and his rare type of ancient music yoga?is a colourful tapestry of philosophy, extraordinary experiences, and everyday life in 1970s New York, woven together by the spell of music seen as a spiritual practice. In this context, ?learning by heart? needs to be taken literally, meaning a great deal more than memorizing: it is a route to transcending one?s everyday self, to expanding awareness to encompass the ?unstruck? sound, the unheard melody of the universe. This is indeed a book for music lovers everywhere and also for all those who enjoy exploring different ways of acquiring wisdom and reconnecting with living nature.? ?
