Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 Dear Purushothaman You << I don't know whether this is an answer to your question but nevertheless my attempt:The terms are musical terms denoting a particular note.Before I point out the notes there are two terms involved.They are Shruti and Swara.What are they?>> me Yes, I think that it answer my question although I became more confused. Lets clarify that I am hopples in music. Although I like music I cannot appreciate notes as experts can. I would like you to tell me from which source you got your information from. I got my info from an article published on the Astrological Magazine for January 1989 and written by K.K.Pathak. He said that there are in India, two schools of classical music, Hindustani and Karnataka. By this I understand North and South. The planetary relationship with the notes is the same as you have said i.e.. Planetary Relationship ( No Swaras for Rahu and Ketu) Thus musical notes are known as Sapta Swaras. Planet Swara Surya Sa Chandra Pa Mangal Dha Buddha Re Gurui Nee Shukra Ma Shani Ga However, the table for the signs is different to the one mention by you. He says S. No. Swaras Description English Notes Ruling Sign 1. dha Tivra a Mesha 2. ma KOMALA f Vrishaba 3. RE Tivra D Mithuna 4. pa __ g Kartaka 5. saa __ c Simha 6. re Komala d Kanya 7. MA TIVRA F sharp Thula 8. dha KOMALA a Vrischika 9. nee TIVRA b Dhanus 10. ga Tivra e Makara 11. ga KOMALA e Kumbha 12. NEE KOMALA ti Meena As you can see from the above table, the notes for the planets correspond exactly to the signs of the zodiac which they rule or represent. For example, Mars rules the note dha and it represents Tivra Aries and Komala Scorpio. Under the column for notes I have left in capital letters those notes that are the same as you. They are RE (or Rishava for Mercury) corresponding to the note D or Re in modern music, MA (or Madhyama for Venus) or F or Fa, and NEE (or Nisada for Jupiter) or B or Ti. In your table (see below). SHUDDHA , KOMAL & TIVRA SWARAS S. No. Swaras Swaras Description English Notes Swaras Ruling Rasis 1. Sa Shuddha (Fixed) C Mesha 2. Re Komal C sharp Vrishaba 3. Re Shuddha D Mithuna 4.

Nee Komal A sharp Kumbha 12. Nee Shuddha B Meena **************************************************** The note Dha is connected to the signs Dhanus (Sagittarius) and Makara (Capricorn) Under the column for swara description, again I have left in capital letters the ones that are the same for your table and mine. Note that 6 signs are the same. Under the column for the English notes I have left in capital letters those notes that are the same and notice that only Gemini and Libra are similar. Mr Pathak said : “The use of music as an astrological remedy is nothing but a kind of psycho-therapy. Vocal music and instrumental music may have sometimes different impact. People with afflicted Mars or Saturn should hear more instrumental music. It will bring tears to their eyes. Persons with afflicted Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn, must hear devotional songs. Devotional dance with classical music may restore balance of mind in people who have Moon-Saturn, Mars-Venus, Mars-Rahu, Sun-Ketu, Jupiter-Rahu, Sun-Saturn, or Mercury-Rahu combinations in their birth charts” Regarding classical music, at present I got hold of 16 cd’s in which some of them have the Notes used. I find that Chopin’s “Piano Concerto No.2 in F minor” and Vivaldi’s “the Four Stations, Winter (which is in f minor)” touch my heart. Perhaps this is due to the fact that my Moon is in Taurus which corresponds to the note of Venus or F minor.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Respected Krushna Sir & Dear Members, Which house of a natal chart should be assumed as House B in case we wanted to analyze the success of a native ( or career of the native) in the field of Music (more inclined toward instrumental than vocal). Do someone has a chart of known musician? Regards, Nikhlesh Mathur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
