This study examined the effect of Music (Gayatri Mantra) on stress, anxiety and depression among young adults. The nature of the research was action research and the design used for this study was quasi experimental pre- test post- test design. A sample of 30 young adults (19-40years, M = 30 years) completed measures of the above constructs and data were analysed via paired sample t- test to test the hypotheses. The result revealed that there was a significant difference in the level of stress, anxiety and depression before and after intervention. Music listening mainly served as a ‘source of pleasure and enjoyment’ and which ‘calms, motivates, or reminds of past events’. Hence, the study concluded that music (Gayatri mantra) is found to be an effective intervention in reducing the level of stress, anxiety and depression.
