New age musician/composer Russil Paul focuses on the healing and balancing powers of sound in his music, using the principles of shabda yoga and nada yoga to guide positive energy through the body. A keen childhood interest in music led him to become a composer for film scores before he lived and worked as a monk in a South Indian monastery for five years. Upon his return, Paul blended his talents with his spirituality. Paul also created the Unitar, a ten-stringed instrument similar to a sitar, which he used on works likeBhava Yoga, Shakti Yoga, Nada Yoga and Shabda Yoga, all of which were released by the Relaxation Company.
