    India, of all nations through history, has developed the
    most complete system of scales and melody for understanding
    sound and creating music. Little wonder in a land where
    sages discovered the power of the primeval Aum permeating
    the universe. The origins of Indian classical music can be
    found in Hinduism's oldest and most revered scriptures, the
    Vedas. The Samaveda describes music at length. Indian
    classical music has its roots as a meditation tool for
    attaining Self realization. The different forms of these
    melodies (ragas) are believed to affect various chakras and
    stir the kundalini. The mystical inspiration of the Indian
    music system was coupled with a design that makes it
    technically comprehensive even for secular compositions.

    Alain Danielou wrote, "ancient Hindus were familiar with
    the theory of sound, both its metaphysics and physics. The
    hymns of the Rig Veda contain the earliest examples of
    words set to music."
