The power of 15 and 16 in philosophy of music


Hi all,
After seeing the principles and structures governed over centuries in arts and science, and the reason those are being governed is a mind realization concept. Some questions often intrigued me , why swaras are classified 7, why not 9, but the answer is the science of sound frequency works that way and so is math. And so the 8th frequency is twice the first frequency and it follows the same characteristic as the first 7.
Everything is a circle. Again why circle ? why not square or triangle? The science behind any geometry is it starts at a point and ends in the same point except a line. Our life is like a line, we interact with lot of things and create inter junctions with other lines and create beautiful harmonic symmetries during our existence.  But we are a line in a bigger circle of life which we do not see that is why we follow the circle of life as kaala chakra and the circle gets expanded and expanded as explained in panchangam and Astangam. The mathematical assignment of universal length, mass and time in a more detailed way is the panchangam and even more detailed way is the astangam. They all speak the creation and creativity in a elaborate and structural format.

Now,
The topic of discussion is why is number 15 and 16 very powerful? and how it is reacted to some ragas?
Well, a mind realizing concept dawned in mind which I am writing.

The power of numbers and the power of alphabets resonates when used with harmony (harmonic sound or music). or visualized with different radiating frequencies. If you equate the Sri vidhya tatva and Sangeetha vidya (the present follow of nomenclature):




  1. Sa- Pa- Prakruthi swaras or the energy, matter combination or the Kameswara-Kameswari relationship , ever present in unison (harmony) with bliss, when in unison sounds sweet and the energy is bliss (Goddess Tripurasundari wherein the energy of Sa is Goddess Mahalakshmi, energy Pa is the Goddess Mahakali and inside subtle not heard present is the resonance , Goddess Mahasaraswathi).
  2. Now Ri, Ga, Ma, Da and Ni- the vikruthi swaras can be equated to Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Ishwara and Sadashiva, who is controlled by the sound energy resonating from the Sa-Pa (within the two these five are absorbed).
  3. The 12+4 swarasthanas are the energy emanated from the above swaras and are the variations of the vikruthi swaras. The pure swaras which has a location and energy coming out are the 12 swarasthanas Suddha Ri, Chatusruthi Ri, Sadharna Ga, Antra Ga, Suddha Ma, Prati Ma, Suddha Da, Chatusruthi Sa, Kakali Ni, Kaisiki Ni. But the tantra comes from travelling, which evolved from the 12 swarasthanas , the energy obtained by traveling/the kinetic energy are the chatsruthi Ri, Suddha Ga, Chatsruthi Da, Suddha Ni becomes complete and the count is 16 with different definitive locations or Shiva tatvas of matter and potential energy and 4 kinetic energies of travelling in space.
  4.  Now the present nomenclature of katapayaadi sankya  of classifying the ragas are the sampoorna mela paddathi and still asampoorna mela paddhati also closely matches with the rag number 15 which is Mayamalavagowla. the magic of Mayamalavagowla is first the creator and then the creation. This magic can also be found in 51 or Panthuvarali/Kamavardhini and in Asampoorna mela paddathi it is Kasiramakriya and though the vakra prayogam is  aro: S G R G M P D N S and ava: S N D  P M G R S still when you count the swaras omitting the repetition of Sa in the end we get 15 and if we count Sa in the end of avaroganam becomes 16. This same magic is less seen with melakarta raga Toyavegavahini/chakravakam having the number 16 and 61 kuntalam.kanthamani, wondering why🤔
  5. Another unique feature of certain set of vakra ragas like Bhairavi, Ananthabhairavi etc is the number of swaras in their vakra prayogam which can be considered as raga murchana or set that is as aroganam and avaroganam. When you omit the Sadjam repetitions in the end of aroganam and avaroganam they end up with number 15 or 16. This is my observation but there is scope to further analyse whether all the vakra ragas having all the swaras follow this rule of 15 or 16.
  6. From philosophy as well we can say: one god who is the creator and from it comes the 5 elements or 5 tatvas or matter-energy combination or creation. Together 15 becomes powerful as it denotes supreme truth creativity. The rahasya or creator and creation is the process which can be enjoyed as 16 which is 1+5+😇
  7. My conclusion is the numbers by itself are infinity and although we have different lengths of numbers important like Shatam (100), sahasram (1000), ayutha (10,000), laksha (hundred thousand) etc still I see spiritually the basic natures of philosophy, relevance and tatvas are between nirvanam/purnatvam 0 to sodasha- 16,  it is also mysterious to see the omission of number 13 and 14 spiritually. So, anything inside this limit has more value for the applied philosophy which we can derive from the basic creation or creativity. 
  8. Hopefully my next post will be from this video. people please leave your comments if you are guessing what will be the topic of discussion from the video. Thank you.
