Hemanatha Bhagavathar
Following these simple steps will give clarity in understanding the difference between each Scale
- There are 12 Chakras
- Each Chakra holds 6 Scales
- So 12 x 6 = 72 Parental Scales in total
- The first 6 Chakras come under the category - Shuddha Madhyama ( Scales 1 to 36 )
- The second 6 Chakras come under the category - Prati Madhyama ( Scales 37 to 72 )
- bit 6 and bit 7 (in RED) of any Scale within a Chakra shows the difference between itself and it's previous Scale
- bit 2 , bit 3 and bit 4 (different colors) shows the collective differences between Scales of each Charka to it's adjuscant Chakras
