Goenka University organized a session titled “Healing Aspects of Music in Building Confidence and Calm,” conducted by Dr. Shambhavi Das, a music healer, TEDx speaker, and founder of the Manonaad Centre for Music Healing and Education. The session explored how sound and vibration influence emotional well-being by combining music therapy, neuroscience, and Vedic philosophy.

Dr. Das explained how music can influence brain waves and emotional states, and introduced the Vedic concept of Naad Brahma, highlighting the therapeutic potential of Indian classical ragas and mantras. Through interactive activities, including listening to a Swinging 9-Bar Chime and different musical compositions, students experienced the calming and energizing effects of sound.
