[@deeparamesh7167]

Wow! First, I want to thank uma madam for conceiving this great idea, which , to my knowledge , nobody has done it, so well Second, is the way it has been made . I have seen some videos where the swarasthanas are explained just in their order, and sung very easily by the singer. But , when I try to imitate, it was tough, maybe because they were single swaras.in this area, I, as a music teacher is facing great difficulty in making my students understand this concept . Third, is the way tbe sthanas have been stringed together and made it simple to relate Fourth, the different combinations have been put into a nutshell and presented, which might otherwise be impossible for take many many years for a person to figure out I can just forward this video to my senior students and just ask them to learn from it. It is so clear, slowly explained. I personally think that we are indeed blessed to get such videos and all of us should make use of it as much as possible. I have no other words to thank madam for coming up with such concepts. Eagerly waiting for more

Amma I love your voice. Whenever I listen to your voice singing it takes me to another dimension. Don’t know what’s the magic in your voice. Wants to listen forever. I keep listening to all your raga list in your website and the good comparison you have given between the ragas. One should be lucky to have a guru like you. Gosh I could find a guru like you when was young. But many thanks for sharing the musical knowledge in your website. Any unknown person who doesn’t know much about music also can have some knowledge about the ragas. This video I have to try myself. I always had a thought how to train my ears to identify the notes. This is good example I will try. Please continue to give ideas like this. Not every musician can become a good teacher. Amma god bless you. 💐💐💐🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐

Brilliant. I wish this were there 25 yrs ago when I was struggling to understand this by myself. One suggestion: in addition to the notes printed out, some example/representative raga for the chakra appearing on the screen could help e.g. R1G1 could have ganamurte and so on. Will of course be more precise when adding DNs also. Thanks for this clear exposition.

Thnx Umaji for the wonderful explanation. Keep adding more such videos! There is a lingering question I always have. Is there a scientific explanation as to why there is only 16 frequencies or sthanas? Why cant be more / less?

[@VijayKannan]

Hi vijaykumar... There are more... Infinite... 🙂 Ok I'll clarify that ... Swara sthanas and frequencies aren't the same meaning they're not equal terms... One can use them as an equivalence... For example there is a common tuning called A440 which is when the note A is at 440 Hz, ie A = 440 Hz. Now swara sthana means literally the position of a swara. The beauty of Indian music is that swara sthana is a relative nomenclature and not a constant nomenclature. What does this mean? It means, for a tuning of A = 440 Hz, one can't have A at any other frequency. But one can define a swara, say the antaragandhara G3 at A. Or one could define the prathimadhyama M2 at A... Or at any other frequency. I hope that clarifies (to some extent difference between frequency and swara sthana) Now coming to why we have only 12/16 swara sthana. For this one needs to understand about overtones or harmonics. Any sound is a waveform of the pressure varying over time. And such signals comprises of sinusoids... Forgive the technical jargon... Reach sinusoid is of a frequency. When we sing a note or play a note on an instrument, the sound comprises of a fundamental frequency and it's overtones (can be said as harmonics, fundamental is called the first harmonic). These overtones are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency (2x, 3x, 4x,...to infinity) basically the choice of the 12 note scale is the choice of those frequencies that are the most pleasing when played together or in sequence etc.. interval is defined as the difference between two frequencies. Different musical cultures have different number of such notes. The Western music has 12. Indian music has 22 srutis of which these 12 are a subset. Srutis are the smallest 'interval' that can be perceived or differentiated. (Indian music texts there are 22 srutis defined). The swaras are chosen amongst these srutis to form scales and ragas etc. Other cultures have more swaras which in Western music are called microtones and music that use such notes are called microtonal music. An example of such music would be Persian or Turkish music which oftentimes use 'swaras' (I use it here to drive in the meaning of it which is only by definition) that are not in the 12 tones. So to recap, 1. Frequencies are continuous and infinite in number. 2. Intervals are the difference between two frequencies. 3. Srutis are the smallest interval that is perceivable. 4. Swaras are chosen from srutis so as to form patterns that result in melody, ragas and scales. 5. There are various musical cultures that have more than 12 notes. Additionally, the sapta swaras of Indian music 'sa re ga ma pa da ni' can be compared to the 'do re mi fa so la ti' of Western music. I hope after reading this you're inspired to research more into these and find out more yourself. All the best, Vijay Kannan
