Music knows no man made boundary. Any music, rhythm or its lyric that touches ones minds and soul propagates through space & time. Eminent creators of music appear and depart in the eternal space and time of the Universe but their creation remains like eternal light to illumine and inspire the mind and soul of the mankind. These creations are immortal and their memories are carefully preserved in the subliminal depths of human consciousness. In mankind’s history, India has the longest literary traditions, so ancient that it cannot be illustrated either by contemporary books or from archeological finds. The Rigveda, indisputably the oldest literary work, was written at a time when many a great, old-world civilization lay in the wombs of futurity. Indian music has seen many significant events in its journey from the eternal divine period of Vaydic origin to present day global music community. Mythology refers that music was brought to the people in this subcontinent from a place of Celestial beings. This divine place (Gandharva Desh) is usually equated with heaven. It is believed that the Gandharva systems of music were taught in the hermitage of great Saints (Rishis/Muni). This extensive travel from the Samveda hymns shows evidently the progression of musical concepts from early history (Before Common Era- B.C.E or B.C) to the present day (Common Era- C.E or C.E).
