Why read it?
1 author picked A Southern Music as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
T.N. Krishnan’s book discusses Carnatic (south Indian) music in depth, sure. But more importantly, he discusses why music matters, what it’s for, emotion, and human existence. It’s a primer in art, philosophy, and intention. Read it along with Ramani Maharshi’s writings, and one is pretty much ready to be fully human.
From Stephen's list on sound, living, and experience.
