The Divine Mother delights in music.
She focusses Her mind on music. The systematically made sound is called music. Birds and humans have such musical abilities. All universal beings are attracted to music. Kannan’s flute music made all universal beings forget themselves. They were attracted to his place of flute music. Music is one form of Lalitha / sixty-four arts; the mind is attracted to music. There are certain types of music leading one to divinity. Music gives happiness to all beings; the Divine Mother always likes them. One can use his good musical skills for the Divine Mother’s worship.
If any music is against devotion, the devotees ought to avoid it. The devotional music is well liked by the Divine Mother; the devotees ought to make full use of music in their prayers to Her.
The Divine Mother liked all kinds of devotional music very much. She has pride (Namam 856: Garvita) on the one hand to be able to produce good music and affection towards music on the other hand (Namam 654: Gambhira).
The musical instruments can be of four types, namely, stringed instruments (tata), drums (anaddha) bound with leather, metallic instruments like cymbals (ghana) and wind instruments like flute (susira, with holes).
The Divine Mother likes vocal music and delights in the music played on all instrument
types. She is also fond of two types of songs from Samaveda, namely Sama and
Gandharva.
The Divine Mother delights in music.
