12 Chakras of Classical Indian Music

Melakarta ragas are fundamental ragas from which other ragas
may be generated. For this reason the melakarta ragas are
also known as janaka (parent) ragas. Melakarta ragas are also
known as sampoorna ragas as they contain all seven swaras
(notes) of the octave in both the ascending and the descending
mode. There are 72 melakarta ragas.
The melakarta system of ragas was first propounded by
Raamamaatya in his work Svaramelakalanidhi c. 1550. He is
considered the father of the mela system of ragas. Later in
the 17th century, Venkatamakhi expounded a new mela system
in his Chaturdandi Prakasika, known today as the Melakarta
system.
The 72 Melakarta Ragas in both VENKATAMAKHI and
GOVINDACHARYA Systems are given for the benefit of
music lovers. Both Sadja and Panchama are common for all 72
Ragas; while Risabha, Gandhara, Madhyama Swaras remain the
same for the 6 Ragas in each Chakra, either Dhaivata or Nisada
or both vary for every Raga. It is KA-TA-PA-YA-DI formula.
The 72 Melakartas are further subdivided into twelve parts of
six ragas each (12 x 6 = 72). These 12 parts are called Chakras,
and we also have interesting nomenclature for them, which
enable us to find out the exact Chakra number even from its
name. The Chakras are given in the table.

well-defined principles and tenets principles that provide
the unity and the synergy of power. Be it in the form of
millions of musical notes that cast a magic spell, or the
