CLASSICAL MUSIC, RAGA AND OMKARA
Creations of OMKARA are based on Classical Ragas, Western and World Music; however not just limited to the boundaries of Raga. It’s the Feel and the Mood. Combination of Music and Meditation with a right approach could be very powerful. It might be beneficial to mind and body after practicing for a while.
Classical Music especially Indian Ragas can help with mood, expression, emotion and vibration of the body. Raga is a scientific, precise, subtle melodic form with its own ascending and descending order which consists of either a full octave, or a series of five or six notes. Ragas are not scales; it is a combination of musical notes with a specific set of notes, omission of a dissonant note or emphasis of certain notes, or transition from one note to another. Classical music focuses mainly on melodic development. Rhythm also plays an important role, giving texture, sensuality and a sense of purpose to melody.
The Raga can produce various moods such as 9 sentiments (Navaras) – Veer (heroic), Hassya (comic), Karuna (pathos), Roudra (wrathful), Bhayanak (terrifying), Bibhatsa (odious), Adbhut (wondrous), and Shant (peaceful, calm). It has been known that composer Tansen from 15th century had the power to light up fire through Raag Deepak and bring rain through Raag Megh Malhar.
Let’s talk briefly about some of the Ragas used in OMKARA.
Here is a quick reference for the Western Musicians.

OMKARA – Conceived based on Musical Notes, Fundamental Science, Creative Frequencies of the Universe, and Chakra Energy.
The Chakras are the centers of certain energies that balance the emotional, intellectual, physical and spiritual being. Each of the chakras energy level can be related to certain ancient frequencies and musical notes, and can be balanced through music, meditation, purity in heart, and love.
The bottom three chakras below the chest vibrate with Social, Mental and Sexual energy. The top three chakras above the chest vibrate with Vision and Spiritual energy. The right in the middle of the chest, Anahata, is the chakra for the Love energy.
Music is the universal language, and love is the universal healer; specific musical notes and classical music can heal the mind, body and soul, leading to spiritual awakening. There are few core creative frequencies in this Universe that can be musically represented by numbers and geometrical patterns of 6-3-9. Everything in this Universe has energy, vibrations, and sound. Omkara, representing the 7 Chakras and Heaven Bridge, was composed using Classical Ragas, Western music, World Music, and core frequencies. A new energy point, Heaven Bridge, was created with nine healing transitions representing The Journey from Birth to Enlightenment. Omkara!
