Music is Divine


Music Is Divine
Music has no language. music is rhythm of body, that is Nature. Music will never miss rhythm of nature. you  may  ask  how? Blowing wind, flowing wind has music in it. All sounds have music imbibed in it. You can observe it from instruments. Harmony, tabala, violin etc., lively music brings harmony around. It brings harmony into lives of people.
 As I have already mentioned music has no language. Every language has music in it. It is to be harmonized.
 In Sanskrit music is know as NADAM .Every word has got Nadam (music) init.iot is the way you pronounce it brings life to Nada. NADAM is of three type uchha swara(high octave)which is pronounced loudly. Second one is Neecha swara where it sung in low pitch. Swaritam when it sung evenly with all melody. Entire music is concealed in saptaswaras, sa,ri,ga,ma,pa,da,ni. All seven swara’s generated  from “SA” . Sa if lengthened,  shortened  can be heard as  S,Ri,Ga,Ma,PA,DA,Ni, octave do change bring Melody in its.
 This is described in ‘Veda’ in detail any number of modulation, melodies are given to ‘Swaras’.
To further elucidate it
Sa=sa+a
RI=R+e
Ga=G+a
Ma=M+a
Pa=P+a
Da-D+a
Ni=N+i
Without the help of alphabet consonant cannot become swara. consonant is only half swara.
This music is enriched by “Alapana”. Alapana means lengthening  of a particular swara. Each swara is vibrated to bring beauty into it.
When you hear a good music nervous system is soothing and body harmonized. Music can bring excitement as in the case of western music.
Swaras when grouped in particular fashion is called “RAGA”. In a given raga swaras  are designed in a particular way and sung with given vibrations. Then it is symbolized as particular ragas.
If you vibrate particular more or less it becomes a separate raga.
In “SamaVeda” music is explained in full details. samaveda is pronounced musically.
 Music with its up’s and down in melody cures diseases. like B.P etc.,
We will go into details of ragas when one understands basis of music and takes it to heart.
