PRANAM
1 Why is there Pandemonium every time and today?
उत्सीदेयुरिमे लोका न कुर्यां कर्म चेदहम् | सङ्करस्य च कर्ता
स्यामुपहन्यामिमा: प्रजा: || 24|| utsīdeyur ime lokā na kuryāṁ karma ched
aham sankarasya cha kartā syām upahanyām imāḥ prajāḥ *BG 3.24*: If I
ceased to perform prescribed actions, all these worlds would perish. I
would be responsible for the pandemonium that would prevail, and would
thereby destroy the peace of the human race.
2 *Origin of Sapta Swaras * As we have seen the Sapta Swaras and their
full names, now it is time to know from where they have come from. Swaras
are being said to have originated from the sounds of animals and birds. In
Sanskrit, all these Sapta Swaras have some inner meanings. Have a look at
the table below:
*Sapta Swara Names*
*Meaning*
Shadja
Peacock
Rishabha
Ox
Gandhara
Goat
Madhyama
Krouncha Bird
Panchama
Cuckoo
Dhaivata
Horse
Nishada
Elephant
The interesting thing to note here are:
- Bird Sounds – “Sa, Ma & Pa”
- Animal Sounds – “Re, Ga, Dha & Ni”
This is how we get the Sapta Swaras. People often get puzzled listening to
the term “Raga”. A “Raga” refers to varied combinations of the Swaras
wherein any swara either can be omitted *or* repeated.
