Introduction
Music has frequently been used as a therapeutic agent from the ancient times. Music is a kind of yoga system through the medium of sonorous sound, which acts upon the human organism and awakens and develops their proper functions to the extent of self-realization. This is the ultimate goal of Hindu Philosophy and religion. Melody is the key-note of Indian Music. The 'Raga' is the basis of melody. Various 'Ragas', have been found to be very effective in curing many diseases.

Music Therapy can be used as a diagnostic aid, to identify problem areas such as developmental delays, emotional/psychological issues, family interaction, feeling expression, pain management, and decreased environmental awareness, in both verbal and nonverbal persons. Historical view, definitions, therapeutic characteristics of music, approaches in music therapy, role of music therapists, utility of music therapy, role of clients in music therapy, guidelines to maximize the effectiveness of the music, essential environment for the effectiveness of the music, qualities of good' music therapist, etc are the important features of this book. The author concludes by sharing that Peace of Mind TV Channel is a God's greatest gift for the entire world. Ancient Gurukul System was an effective medium to teach and learn music from experts who were highly knowledgeable in both practical and theoretical study of music. Guru Shishya Parampara has been the most ancient and is also known as the best system of Music Teaching.

The great educators speak of five cardinal values in man such as 'Satya' (Truth), 'Dharma' (Righteous conduct), 'Shanti' (Peace), 'Prema' (Love) and 'Ahimsa' (Non- violence). Man should make a conscious effort to manifest these values in his life to make life worthy and meaningful. The five values when manifest completely make a man complete. The Indian culture is sublime, splendorous, sacred, and divine. It can fulfill all your high desires and quench your deepest thirst.

This is a very special volume which has been written in the memories of my beloved mother. I dedicate this volume to her to seek her divine blessings and best wishes which will give me courage to write more books in the near future.

I am grateful to my younger brother Shri Anil Kumar Goyal , Advocate for providing help from time to time. Without his help this memorial volume would have never seen the light of the day. I am also grateful to Dr S Gayatahri and Anupam Srivastava for providing help from time to time. Finally I would like to express appreciation to my family for kind understanding and corattinuous encouragement during the sometimes trying moments of the final draft of the manuscript. My wife Mrs. Kaplan Goel, my son Master Shirish Kumar Goel and my daughter Shivali Goel are editors who assisted me day and night to check the proofs several times and I am personally indebted to them for their cooperation and whole-hearted support with unfailing cheerfulness. I request the readers to share with me the excitement, interest and challenge that this publication brings for making further improvements. The suggestions/ observations/ comments would go a long way to bring out a revised document in a better form.
