Bhakti and Music Bhakti (devotion) and music generally go together. All music has evolved out of ‘Om’, the mystic syllable which symbolizes the Absolute. To worship God through music is called Naadopaasana.
Naadopaasana or Shadhopaasana is a great meditation. It washes the mind of fears and evil thoughts and fills the mind with peace and tranquility. Bhojana (food) is for development of body, so is bhajan (singing in praise of God) for the development of the soul.
