UPDATE: NEW BOOK!
the new book shows how the ratios between the 22 Shrutis and the elemental periodic table match to a 99% accuracy!
This is the first discovery in the world showing that the atomic mass of elements in the periodic table matches 99% with 22 Shrutis of Indian Classical music suggesting that the universal code of creation, development and music are identical.
What is the meaning of a "SHRUTI"?
The science of music | DR. Vidyadhar Oke (TEDx, IIT, Gandhinagar)
There are 12 universally identifiable notes ('Swaraprakar' in Sanskrit) in any Octave (Saptak). As we play them from one end on any string, the perception of each of these 12 changes 'only' at 22 points given by nature (See numbers in green in the image below). The sounds produced at these 22 points are the '22 Shrutis' and the 3 types of distances between them are called as 'Shrutyantara' (in Sanskrit, see legend below).
