Our revered scriptures have emphasized upon the importance of various art forms in human life.One such shloka goes as follows:
Kala sahitya sangeet viheena,
Sakshaat pashu puchch vishaanheena.
Meaning - Those without inclination towards Art, Literature, and Music, are but animals without a tail.
Human life has to be lived on three planes - Body, Mind, and Soul. Just as Food, Clothing and Shelter fulfill the needs of the Body, and Education of the Mind, similarly, Fine Arts, Literature and Music provide nourishment to the Soul.
At the birthday party of a friend’s son, while tasty food filled our stomachs, and conversation, ranging from light-hearted chatter to meaningful exchange of ideas, satisfied our minds, something soulful went amiss till we decided to hum and sing some beautiful old melodies. As soon as the nectar of music started flowing out, everyone of our group started feeling animated and more closely bonded with each other. Our souls were breathing through our tuneful humming.
The Party had finally been perfected!
