In this book of Vedic music, the author has given many QR codes for readers to experience real and practical Vedic music while reading the book. He has explained 3 universal concepts of musical sounds i, e. udatta, anudatta and svarita that appear for the very first time in Vedic music, drawing inspiration from the definition of the Veda i. e. 'Vidyate iti vedah'. He has demystified the secrets of Vedic musical tones by extending the usage of Vedic term 'Samvad' (consonance) while citing scientific explanation of 7 swar (note) and 12 sur (tone) in a saptak.
It is said that Indian music has descended from the Sam ved, but, except ban, veena, sapta dhatu, karkari, dundubhi, gargar, adambar, godha, aghati, vakur/bakur, nali, tunav, vitanda and shankh, we don't come across any music related words of current times in the Vedas. In contrast, we apply essence of all the following terms of Vedic music, i. e. prastava, hinkara, udgitha, upa drava, nidhana, vikara, vishleshana, vikarshana, abhyasa, virama, stobha, udghat, roha, gati, prenkha, parva, namana, karshana, vinata, ati krama, atyut krama, pratyut krama and samprasarana, but never utter any of them in context of contemporary Indian music.
