The Krishna Key

by Ashwin Sanghi

well, if you know that there are seven chakras, you would also know that Indian classical music as described in the Upanishads has seven notes of melody—Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, and Ni. These seven notes roughly correspond to the western Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, and Ti. It is my hypothesis that the seven notes correspond to each of the seven chakras within us. The chakra is activated when the frequency of the note matches the frequency of the given chakra.’ ‘Yes, that could be possible. But we were never taught to meditate using Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, and Ni. We always meditated to the sound of Om,’ said Priya. ‘Think about it Priya,’ said Saini excitedly, ‘seven colours combine to form one universal light—white light. If you combine the seven frequencies of melody what sound will you get? Om—the universal sound! You did not realise it while meditating, but the reason that you were reciting the universal sound is because it includes the frequencies of the seven notes that are needed to activate the seven main chakras!’
