NotesIndiajiva is world renowned duo Ron Ragel and Vicki Hansen. Ron Ragel is a musician, producer, author, and educator. He has trained as a teacher of various ancient methodologies, disciplines and traditions. Vicki Hansen is an accomplished composer and musician who has several albums on national and international release, as well as numerous film, television and theatre soundtracks. SACRED RAGAS is a spiritual journey from the heart of Australia to the kingdom of bliss or 'sat chit ananda' It is a journey that seeks to use music as the medium for connecting us with Divinity. To tune oneself to the harmony, beauty and joy of music is the real spiritual attainment. The vehicle we have chosen for our journey is Indian classical music - (raga sangeet) which is one of the world's most dynamic musical systems and certainly one of the oldest the traditions, of which is seemingly without beginning. Whilst Indian classical music is always set in raga, all raga music is not necessarily classical .In our album of 'SACRED RAGAS' we have chosen to experience the journey in a mood that is more contemporary and more attuned to our personalities and culture. 'Raga' is derived from the Sanskrit root 'ranja', meaning to colour the mind and also to please. Technically speaking a raga is a sequence of notes or swaras. But there is a lot more to this, as there are many characteristics required to establish the many fine features of any particular raga. As ragas were never codified but were transmitted orally from teacher to student, they tended to vary greatly across regions, traditions, styles and schools. The ragas, as we have performed them in 'SACRED RAGAS',whilst established in tradition, have been inspired spontaneously in the recording of this album. They are an aesthetic projection of our inner spirit and a representation of our most profound sentiments and sensibilities. It is said that the ragas have no vitality or life force by itself and the musician themselves have to breathe life into them. God Almighty, it is said,inspired the great rishis who were a class of saintly beings from legendary times that were considered super human, living a pure life of meditation dedicated to wisdom and knowledge. They originated and developed theories in all branches of the arts and sciences and passed them on to their disciples. They passed on the knowledge that sound is God- Nada Brahma - and the musical experience is a journey to the realization of the self. The highest blessings of music were given to a chosen few as in it contained the knowledge of the workings of the universe. The laws of music are found to mirror the exact miniature of the laws working throughout the whole Universe. In Indian classical music the mind and the body are seen as a whole where music is the link that brings about balance. This knowledge comes from the Vedas (books of sacred scriptures of Indian spirituality composed in Sanskrit}. The Vedas are four in number. The word Veda means knowledge and in it are contained the eternal truths revealed by God to man. The roots of Indian music come from the Vedic chants - in particular the Sam Veda. Different sounds and different sequences of notes produce specific frequencies that influence different cells of our bodies in varying proportions. Key notes in the raga and their relationships to each other can bring about a therapeutic effect and provide profound healing. Human beings possess certain qualities . It is said that these qualities are housed in specific charkas. Chakra is a Sanskrit word for 'wheel' and the chakras are seen as spinning wheels of energy that emit specific frequencies. It is these qualities, relationships and frequencies that have defined the album of SACRED RAGAS Each raga or composition also has a particular frequency and when the frequency of the combination of notes match the natural frequency of the chakra that chakra is activated. (Frequency is the measurement of the number of oscillations p
