Science of Sound in Hinduism: Ancient Acoustic Secrets Validated by Modern Physics | Dr. M.G. Prasad

Описание: Dr. M.G. Prasad reveals groundbreaking connections between ancient Hindu acoustic science and modern physics. Discover how Vedic concepts of Naada and Shabda anticipated contemporary sound engineering principles and learn why Indian music's 22 shrutis represent a more sophisticated tonal system than Western scales. Dr. Prasad, a distinguished professor of Mechanical Engineering with expertise in acoustics and vibrations, demonstrates how Sanskrit phonetics systematically organized sound production millennia before modern linguistics while exposing the scientific rigor embedded in seemingly spiritual practices like mantra chanting and Om meditation. Essential viewing for researchers, musicians, and seekers exploring the intersection of traditional knowledge and modern science.

Key Points:
Understanding Naada Brahma and the Vedic philosophy of sound as primordial energy
Scientific analysis of the 22 shruti microtonal system in Indian classical music
How Panini's Sanskrit grammar anticipated modern acoustic phonetics by 2,500 years
Temple architecture and acoustic resonance in sacred spaces
The physics behind mantra vibrations and their effects on consciousness
Comparing Indian and Western musical temperament systems
Practical applications of ancient sound science in modern engineering
