The word "music" is not just a word. It's a term, a special notion. And it has a spiritual dimension. Music unifies three forms of art: vocal music, instrumental music and dance. They merge together in a harmonious way. This combination is natural. The three elements are indispensable parts of one whole thing, called "muse", from which the term "music" originated. The triad of Svara, Laya and Ashaya - note, rhythm and state - corresponds to it as well. This is music.
