shell harmonics

They say music is a science, yes! Pythagoras is considered to have created the theory of music by combining intervals and mathematical calculations to create notes for the major scale. But perhaps only Leonard Bernstein, in his famous Harvard speech, [ The Unanswered Question 1973 ] truly explained why and how. Through his explanation of the harmonic series, he demonstrated the scientific basis of music theory.

However, he also noted something profound:

"What we calculate and explain or try to explain through music theory of Pythagoras, only appreciators of Indian music can feel it, they can demonstrate any mood through their scales, which they call Raaga. And a Raaga is not just a scale; it's something more. If you can't appriciate or feel it, it will put you to sleep in a few minutes. "

After observing how a harmonic series and a conch shell are similar, I feel that this connection and our ancient understanding of music may lead to this deeper understanding. Our ancestors understood everything before the father of music theory, Pythagoras.

The only word that is comeing to my mind after watching this picture is PANCHAJANYA.

"The highest goal of music is to connect one's soul to their Divine Nature, not entertainment."
