Sonic Theology: Hinduism and Sacred Sound - Studies in Comparative Religion
Guy L. Beck
The Hindu world is permeated by sound: drums, bells, gongs, cymbals, conches, flutes, and an array of vocalizations play a central role in worship. This title contends that the traditional Western focus on Hinduism's visual component has often been at the expense of the religion's most important feature - its emphasis on sound.
