Indian Carnatic Classical Music owes its origins to the primordial sounds of the Vedas and to the organic sounds of nature. From these were born the seven basic notes of classical music, which later evolved into the “raaga” system that we know today. Apart from being profoundly emotive and pleasing, Indian classical music has one hidden quality which is only now beginning to be explored scientifically --- its ability to heal and aid in the overall development of an individual.
