ORIGIN OF MUSIC BY HEMANAND
ORIGIN OF MUSIC BY HEMANAND - " Advancement can be taken as an important criterion to determine the age ". Classical Music of India is the oldest and advanced. In the past, before thousands of years, Classical Music was confined to some people, and it was on the verge of rarity at some period of time and later renascence took place with the nomenclatures. With a good disciplined succession and lucubration by literary giants, Classical Music became universal, and an incomparable art. There are many literary works in India which prove the antiquity of music. There are evidences to prove that Classical Music was given importance by ancient kingdoms and its presence before thousands of years. There are works to prove that music existed during the period of Chandra Gupta Maurya, and to say, music existed even before that, and this can be justified. The great literary work ' Silappadikaram ' contains beautiful verses, which reflect our cultural heritage, and also brought the cultural relationship between India and Sri Lanka, creating the TAMIL language as the literary bridge.
For ever, we can feel proud of the advent of Thirugnana Sambandha Peruman. The myriad composer Annamacharya, Purandaradasa, Bhadrachala Ramadas, Tyagaraja, Muthuswamy Dikshitar, Syama Sastri and Swati Tirunal show the strength of our cultural heritage. Classical Music in dormant state for several years can be attributed to the limitary attitude of the musicians and lack of conveyance which became a deriment for Classical Music for its pervasion, making ideations met with vain, leading to the proposal of unwanted postulates. The dormancy started breaking after 14th century with the descent of myriad composer Annamacharya. Tyagaraja made the dormancy completely broken, duly incorporated the rules of music, making the Classical Music pervasive to the maximum extent.The forgotten nuances came to light during the period of Tyagaraja, thus proving renascence. His song Raghuveera Ranadheera, in the raga Husseini, simply broke the boundaries, and brought unity.
Later many vidwans came under the patronage of kings. Some became Samasthana Vidwans. Sangameswara Sastri, a Samsthana Vidwan of Pithapuram delighted Rabindranath Tagore with his melodious music and accompanied him to Shantiniketan. When the Classsical Music was already reinforced by the divine composers, Smt. M. S. Subbulakshmi made people to experience the fullness of melody. The melody, an undisturbed aspect with the clutch of time, remains the same and you can only see the change in the way of presentation with passing of time. Smt. Suguna Purushothaman known for her nicety stunned every one. In India, Classical Music did not spare even the stones. In some temples, you can find pillars from which emanate tones.Like the stone pillars, music from the bamboo flute, having an age like the stone, created pillars to support our cultural heritage.
TIRUPATI, THE PLACE OF CULTURE - Previously, Thanjavur of Tamil Nadu, occupied the place of culture with composers and musicians. The passing of time,displaced composers, musicians and listeners to cities. The new cities of South India, with massive industrialization, has its impact on culture. Tirupati of Andhra Pradesh, with cultural history, has become a place of artists, though the industrialization exists in its approach.
In future, with industrial effect, it may be just one or two hours journey from adjacent states, making a place for musicians and music organisations. The industrialization is good as long as it does not affects the culture of India and norms of respected international organisations.

To give an age for the origin of Sapta Swaras is unwise.
