Description

This lecture is talking about Nearest Neighbours Once upon a time... Musica universalis or music of the spheres is a medieval
philosophical concept that regards the proportions in the movements of
the celestial bodies - the Sun, Moon and planets - as a form of musica,
the medieval Latin name for music. This music was not thought of as
an audible sound, but simply as a mathematical concept. The Greek
philosopher Pythagoras was frequently credited with originating the
concept, which stemmed from his semi-mystical, semi-mathematical
philosophy and its associated system of numerology of
Pythagoreanism.
Some Surat Shabda Yoga, Satgurus considered the
music of the spheres to be a term synonymous with the Shabda or the
Audible Life Stream in that tradition, because they considered
Pythagoras to be a Satguru as well.
