Indian music is about expression of mathematical constant pi

Many purists may disagree with me. Some may scold me for modelling in mathematics. But I have a natural inclination for mathematics and feel my duty to throw some light in this area.
In the northern and southern music there are 22 shrutis. Out of which 7 are important. 7/22 is 1/pi.
I will comment on Shrutis and swars in this section. Please feel free to blog your opinion.

History of Indian music

To a Hindu music is a way to realise God. It is not an art.
Yogis believe in Naads.(Something associated with Kundalini and spiritual awakening). Well, music originates from Anahat naad. So music to a Hindu is the body and realisition of God.

Bollywood Music

I feel the best part of bollywood is the music. We have seen stalwarts like Shankar Jaikishan, R.D.Burman and others who have popularised music and have made a lasting change in everyone's lives. A sad song makes the masses sad and a happy one makes them happy.

It must be interesting to know that R.D.Burman was called "Panchamda" because most of his songs began from "Pa", the fifth note. Consider "Sun sun sun didi tere liye","Lakdi ki kaati","Gum hai kisi ke pyaar mein" etc. All beginning from "Pa". Interesting isn't it?

Well, I have discovered that most of Shankar Jaikishan numbers begin from "Sa". Consider "Awaara hoon","Kisi ke muskurahaton pe ho nisaar","Sajan re jhoot mat bolo".
