Ragas and astrology

Hello all,

 

Let me explain the idea that stirs my mind now and then. Almost every

raga has some intrinsic style and resemblance to human emotions. For

example, Zilla Kafi relates to romantic pathos. In this, the ragas

should have an astrological interpretation, as well. Bhairavi, in which

many Shyama sangeets are composed, should be related with the harsh

stuffs like Bharani Nakshatra, Vrischik Rashi, and the like. Venus,

Rahu, Mars and Bharani Nakshatra should have a keen relation with

Bhairavi, I believe.

 

Bihag is very much sublimely Venusian - Purbaphalguni should have

relation with it, and the sign Taurus would as well.

 

Is there a study on this idea? If not clear, you may ask me - but I am

not already quite clear what this should be in reality, I have, instead,

a hazy idea - of my own, rather.

 

Malkauns, in which out of the 5 notes 3 are komal, is very grave, and

has an occult touch, some people say that it attracts apparitions. It

should relate to Vrischik rashi, ketu, Neptune, and for its intrinsic

graveness unexpected in female rashis, it should as well relate to

Saturn. Malkauns is sung in midnight, the last part of a whole 24hours.

It has a feeling of loneliness, which adds to the eerie environment

created by the raga. Saturn should have a keen resemblance with this

raga, I believe.

 

But I also need your erudite comments and ideas in this.

 

Regards,

Saurav

Dear Saurav ji,

There is an ancient concept present in the idea you presented. The

Raagas - why limit to raagas - all the hindu knowledge branches are

mutually related. Music is no exception to that. I remember seeming

some good articles and quotes regarding the same as well - ya, in some

book dealing with Karnatic Music.

Thanks for the informative mail. if you can elaborate the same, it

could be much helpful.

Love,

Sreenadh

Dear saurav ,

 

U invited a good discussion on ragas .

But i hav a differrence here with u ,u r mixing the cock tail of all planets including rahu,ketu and extra saturnian planets .

Pls think there is only 7 basic notes ,sa ,re,ga,ma,pa,tha,ni ,sa,and all ragas are a mix of this notesor we can say permutation and combination of this notes(whether in carnatic or hindustani --only classical music in world) its controlled by 7 basic planets and we can say in spiritual aspects 7 chakras .My problem is i hav to search for my notes as this kind of info is not very much useful in daily analaysis of chart .If i could locate it ,i will defenitely come out with that.

And the rasi s generaly counted is first 7 houses from nativ chart or kala purusha chart as rest of the body parts we never use it for singing .each note is coming from purticular area of body .and balance 7 houses is supporting for other houses .

Now this much ,if i happen to stumble upon my notes i will defenitely come out with that or some learned memebers can illuminate us.

This is definitely an interesting subject to ponder upon. This

opens up a new dimension. I don't know much about this. But, I

came across the following link that gives some related

information:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navagraha_Kritis

 

Hope this helps.

Krishna

Interesting. Does anyone know what text assigns the seed syllables for each graha and bhava comes from? In the west Pythagoras and later Kepler proposed numerological and vibrations significance to the planets. The Music of the Spheres. http://home22.inet.tele.dk/hightower/spheres.htm  also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_tuning The Seers must have written about these things also. I can only wonder what it would have been like to discover these sounds through internal meditation. Finding the way home to the original source of sound itself. Sound is said to organize structure. We also know that sound can destroy structure. Did the Rishi's transmit this knowledge through any written texts? Could the residues of karma be harmonized by voicing these sounds both externally and internally? Peace and Joy,Nick ScottOn Nov 3, 2007, at 6:05 AM, Krishnamurthy Seetharama wrote:This is definitely an interesting subject to ponder upon.

Dear Saurav ji, Raghav ji, Krishnan ji,

Thanks to Saurav ji and Raghav ji for opening a new dimension of

thought.

Krishna ji the Navagraha Keertans are songs to praise or worship the

Navagrahas. I remember seeing a book - " Dakshnendian Sangeetam " (South

Indian Music) - which deals with this subject somewhere in it. Since

my knowledge about Music is a big zero, then I didn't collected or

preserved that info. But possibly we can accumulate much info and much

reference if we make a minor search (not in net, but direct

communication with good old scholars of music - since I am now in

delhi I don't have those connections with friends with good knowledge

in south Indian classical music and if I was in Kerala getting the

reference would have been so easy).

Note: If Madhu ji is reading this mail, I request him to provide

more info regarding this, since the related reference would be easily

available to him, there in Kerala.

Love,

Sreenadh

Dear Sreenadh ji,

 

Though the Keertanas are songs of praise, what one should look

at is the choice of Raga and Tala for each graha. I guessed the

author must have some specific reason to choose a specific Raga

and Tala for each graha. People who understand music could throw

some light on this.

 

Regards,

Krishna

Dear Vijayaraghavan,

 

I appreciate your approach, yet would tell you something.

 

A scientific approach would consider rather 12 notes

(S,r,R,g,G,m,M,P,d,D,n,N) than 7 ones. The komal gandhar is neither sa

nor ga. The komal notes are as fundamental as the suddhas; the madhyam

and pancham imparting beautiful asymmetry. And the argument that the

seven planets would correspond unmixingly to the seven notes does not

probably make sense; the different qualities of emotion are quite

complex and rather compound. You may find that there are 10 Thaats which

represent the basic natures of raagas - the different ragas are even

more complex.

 

An example would be useful here: in natal chart, education is seen not

from a particular house, but from 2,4,5 and 9, basically.Actually in

practical field you examine not only 2,4,5,9 but also 10,11 and lagna.

Like emotion, many things in life are quite complex and compound and I

have myself examined the necessity of trans-saturnian planets, esp

Neptune in explaining the deep emotional characters of some natives.

 

The main raga that I would be pivoting around is Malkauns in which the

suddha notes hardly appear: this raga has a trans-sensible quality and

is believed by some to have supernatural qualities - this

extra-perceptive quality of it makes me believe that there is some

trans-personal planet that would more symbolise the raga.

 

This is my own view, which is likely to be wrong. I am not expert. So I

would like the experts comment on it and would request especially

Vijayaraghavan to bring some Classical texts into the stage - he has

immense erudition in the subject.

 

Best regards,

Saurav

Dear Sirs, You may find Muthuswamy kritis praising navagrahas, (karnataka classical music).

about Music is a big zero, then I didn't collected orpreserved that info.
