And God said. Let Music be!

 I have always wondered how man created music. My musings over this question have led me to believe that though this is the only art form which does not have a physical form to emulate, it should have been, and is still there in nature, esoterically though. Identifying or extracting music from nature could not have been the result of any concerted effort with well defined targets. It might have "occurred" to the "selected few" while in some divine meditation. But then, how can various forms of music evolved independently  in totally unconnected places over the earth at different points of time have the same basic structure.Any form anywhere in the world evolved during any era in history is built on the seven basic notes. How can this happen?God might have sung those seven notes into the ears of someone in ascetic meditation, perhaps in an inadvertent pursuit of the unknown. This might have happened to the "selected few" as God might have thought that his creations are incomplete if those seven note remained sublime beyond the human perception. And He might have allowed those note to trickle down from the heavens into the human ear and He might have proclaimed, "Let Music Be". ...........and it might have been all music! Whatever happened after that might be a product of human intelligence.
My belief that music exists in nature is a consequence of some personal experiences. Hearing a well rendered Sreeragam, I bow my head and with folded hands, I feel like standing in some divine presence. Kaapi ragam takes me to Vrindavan. A slow Tabla, accompanying the Sarod, takes me to the Akbar's court and the Veena and the Mridangam take me to Kailasm. Such experiences do not occur always. Mridangam should be by Karikkudi Mani. Great if it is Mysore Doraiswamy Iyengar on the Veena. Zakir Hussian on the Tabla and Amjad Ali Khan on the Sarod..........you are sure in the Akbar's court. And Hariprasad Chaurasia after midnight in dim light or lights off .......... look out through the widows. You can "see" the confluence of swaras from the heavens. While watching the snow fall in Kashmir don't you "see" Pandit Shivkumar Sharma sprinkling those Santhoor notes? And isn't it the Bhoopalam that makes the sun rise in the east? Any doubt?
