Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Sat Nam I have a set called 'Working The Total Self'(YB, 10th july 1975) from 'Kundalini Yoga Manual - Student Manual for Instruction'. Exercise 17 has a mantra 'SA RE GA MA PA DA NI SA' and another mantra 'SA NI DA PA MA GA RE SA'. Does anyone have a translation for them?

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Aades tise aades ! The simplest translation of : 'SA RE GA MA PA DA NI SA' and 'SA NI DA PA MA GA RE SA'. Are : DO RE ME FA SO LA TI DO DO TI LA SO FA ME RE DO It is the sargam or the basic octed , the basic sounds of music . By which we match our indtruments with our sound . If we want another meaning , it would have to be created… could be intersting … But nothing can be simpler than just sounds of nature in their purity . We don’t need to attache our own created meaning to them.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Sa re ga ma pa da ni sa is the Indian raga equivalent to do re mi fa so la ti do, the ascending major scale. Sa ni da pa ma ga re sa is the descending scale.Best,Jagat Kaur Pinpoint customers who are looking for what you sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Sat Nam. The syllables you are asking about are the Indian version of " do ray me fa so la ti do. " It is a musical scale. Yogiji never assigned any meaning to the syllables - although you can easily enough isolate " sa " " ray " " ma " which are common mantric sounds. I hope you find this helpful.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 " Sa Re Ga Ma ... " As others have said this is a musical scale used by ragis and others in India. Yogi Bhajan taught a wonderful kriya/meditation that utilizes the mantra " Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Da Ne Sa Sa Ta Na Ma Ra Ma Da Sa Sa Se So Hung " as a test of and way to expand our lung capacities. The mantra is begun very low and ends (for me at least) in a high pitched squeak! I will try to find the manual--it is a thin one but with some very powerful sets and meditations. Discussions like this point up the variety and power of YB's teachings.

I'm teaching myself how to play an Indian flute (!!!!!) and having the notes associated with that mantra would be wonderful. I should know them from my ear, because I listen to endless chanting with flute backgrounds, but I'm at a loss. Any help would be a real blessing Namaste to all the wonderful people on this net :-))))) gary in tampa, florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
