Marga Sangeet is the use of music to find path to moksha.[1][2] Though some articles equate it to Indian Classical Music, Pandit Mukul Shivputra mentions it as "the path to salvation" in this[3] interview titled 'The Raga of Truth'.
Etymology
editThe Sanskrit root word of Marga is mrg,[4] "which indicates contemplation and seeking." The article also mentions "That which was discovered by Brahma and (first) practiced by Bharata and others in the audience of lord Shiva is known as marga, which definitely bestows prosperity; while the sangeeta comprising gitam, vadyam and nrttam, that entertains people according to their taste in the different regions, is known as desi"
