In this paper a novel methodology is proposed to identify and to compare the
frequency range of different Vedic chantings from Rig Veda, Yajur Veda,
Atharva Veda and Sama Veda. Nowadays in spite of busy schedule and
hectic work, the human beings are mostly stressed. To get rid from this
stressed state, one of the best solutions is listening Vedic chantings. The
alpha brainwaves are in the frequency range of 8-12 Hz under giving
relaxation to stressed human being. Three selected samples from each Veda
have been processed through the simulation compiler Praat and the
parameters like spectral response, pitch, intensity, formants and pulses have
observed. In the above identified parameters, the frequency in intensity
calculation is taken for each sample. This frequency is compared with the
brainwaves for which the frequencies are in the ranges of 0 Hz to >27 Hz
(alpha, beta, gamma, theta and delta). The extracted signal frequencies from
Vedic chantings are compared with frequencies of brainwaves. Among the
four Vedas, the frequencies extracted from Sama Veda lies in alpha
frequency range. The remaining is fluctuating from alpha.

1. INTRODUCTION
Different challenges are faced by the people work in the industries, offices and even in business, our
attentiveness and concentration are decreased and increasing their stress and anxiety. This situation creates
health problems like increasing stress, blood pressure, and stress management is gaining importance day by
day [1]. Vedas as authority of Sabda pramana [2], Shabda hints to words expressed verbally as a mantra. This
Shabda or sound or acoustic signal that generates out by the pronunciation of Vedic texts and mantras is
believed to have a profound effect on our mental system [3]. The sound of traditional patters produces
vibrations that have a beneficial psychological effect on both the chanters and listeners.
Vedic melodies produce incredible sonic vibrations that can change vitality at all stages of
development [4]. They affect the psyche and reach subliminal levels where our karmic patterns are preserved.
The best possible recitation of the mantras can diminish stress and pressure [5].
Hindu and Buddhist practitioners utilize meditation to focus the mind and shut out extraneous
distractions that interfere with concentration [6]. Sound-based Vedic chanting (such as a powerful mantra)
has the potential to heal and elevate consciousness [7]. Speech and chanting are old religious traditions used
to assist people increase their ability to move energy to the body and mind [8].

Neuroscientists are fascinated by the mental process that occurs during probing. Equipped with
technology to analyse brain activity such as emotions induced by brainwave activation alpha wave, beta
wave, gamma wave, delta wave and theta wave [9]–[12]. Electroencephalogram (EEG) stimuli such as sound
have been shown in experiments to alter the brain [13]–[15]. Some researchers they practice and listen Vedic
sounds like ‘OM’, Om Namah shivaya, observed stress, anxiety and blood pressure before and after. They
observed levels of these parameters decreased [16]–[19].
The brain waves work almost like musical notes. Some are low frequency; others are high
frequency. Together they have the power to create harmony and brain relaxation. The thoughts, emotions and
sensations are in perfect balance, cantered and open to everything that surrounds a human being [1], [20]–
[25]. The classification of brain waves is as follows shown in Figure 1.
Table 1 shows the frequency and its effect on brain. As per the survey of literature alpha waves
gives more relaxation to brain and improves the critical thinking. “I want to train my Alpha brain waves to be
more relaxed and get more inner peace”. The alpha waves will be generated in those in-between, twilight
times when a human being is calm but not asleep. The frequency range of alpha waves may vary from 8-12
Hz. Classification of Alpha waves and their effects are shown in Table 2 [15], [19].

2. METHOD
The voice clips of Vedic chantings (Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, and Atharva Veda) have
been processed thorough Praat simulation tool. The parameters like sound spectrum (spectrogram), pitch,
intensity, pulses, formants have observed for all the four Vedas chantings. From the spectrogram the
frequency ranges of the sound waves have been identified. These frequency ranges are classified and divided
as delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma range of frequencies. In the above observed frequency ranges, the voice
clips having frequency in the range of Alpha have taken and make it listen by the listener and observed their
emotions by using MATLAB (emotion recognition). The process flow to identify the frequency range of
Vedic chanting is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Process flow to identify the frequency range of Vedic chanting
The speech signals of four Vedas (Rig Veda, Atharva Veda, Yajur Veda and Sama Veda) has been
analysed using the simulation tool Praat. The time duration of the speech signal for which the analysis has
been done is below 10 sec. Three different speech signals with different types of mantras (Chanting) from
each Veda has considered for analysis. The spectral response of the input speech signal (Vedic chanting) is
observed within the spectral frequency range of 1 to 20 Hz. The parameters spectral frequency, pitch,
intensity, formants and pulses for a speech signal (Vedic chanting) were investigated in this research. The
frequency range detected in the analysed speech stream is compared to the frequency range of brain waves
(delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma).

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Veda is defined as a collection of hymns and mantras. These are chanted during rituals. When
listening chantings by neuro transmission, human brain will excite and generate brain waves (delta, theta,
alpha, beta and gamma). Vedas are mainly classified into four Vedas. They are Rig Veda, Yajur Veda,
Atharva Veda and Sama Veda. Analysing these four Vedas chanting, checking of their frequencies are done
with in alpha frequency range.
3.1. Atharva veda
The Atharva Veda is filled with a number of enchantments, charms, and spells. This sets it apart
from other Vedas, which place more of an emphasis on ceremonial and sacrifice. Figure 3 shows the analysis
of three specimens taken from Atharva Veda and recording of EEG signals. Analysing these three signals
frequency ranges by using Praat simulation tool, most of these specimen frequency ranges are in alpha
brainwave frequency range. From Table 3 it is evident that most of the selected Vedic chanting is in the range
of alpha brain waves which gives the relaxation to the brain of human being (listener).

3.2. Rig veda
Rig Veda contains hymns about their mythology. A collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns from
ancient India is known as the Rigveda or Rig Veda. It is one of the four revered Vedic scriptures that Hindus
consider to be canonical. The earliest known Vedic Sanskrit text is the Rigveda. The earliest texts in any
Indo-European language are found in its early strata. Figure 4 shows the analysis of three specimens taken
from Rig Veda and recording of EEG signals. Analyzing these three signals frequency by using Praat
simulation tool, most of these frequency ranges are in alpha brainwave frequency range. From Table 4 it is
evident that most of the selected Vedic chanting is in the range of theta and alpha brain waves which gives
the relaxation and alertness to the human brain (listener).

3.3. Yajur veda
Yajur means worship and Veda means knowledge. It contains Veda primarily of prose mantras for
worship rituals/mantras. It is one of the four Vedas and one of the scriptures of Hinduism. It has ritual-
offering formula that was said by a priest, an individual performed ritual actions in front of the yagna fire. It
is mainly grouped into two i.e., Krishna Yajur Veda and Shukla Yajur Veda.
3.3.1. Krishna Yajur veda
Krishna Yajur Veda means motley collection of verses. The Brahmana scriptures are incorporated
into the samhitas of Krishna Yajur Veda. Figure 5 shows the analysis of three specimens taken from Krishna
Yajur Veda and recording of EEG signals. Analyzing these three specimens by using Praat simulation tool,
most of these frequency ranges are in range of alpha brainwave frequency. From Table 5 it is evident that
most of the selected Vedic chanting is in the range of delta, theta and alpha brain waves which gives the
relaxation, alertness, dreamless sleep and loss of body awareness to human being (listener).

3.3.2. Shukla Yajur veda
Shukla Yajur Veda means well-arranged verses. The phrase "white" or "bright" refers to the Shukla
Yajur Veda, which is the "well-arranged, clear" Yajur Veda. Figure 6 shows the analysis of three specimens
taken from Shukla Yajur Veda and recording of EEG signals. Analyzing these three specimen signals by
using Praat simulation tool, most of these frequency ranges are in alpha brainwave frequency range. From
Table 6 it is evident that most of the selected Vedic chanting is in the range of theta and alpha brain waves
which gives the relaxation and alertness to the human brain (listener).

3.4. Sama veda
Sama Veda consists mainly of hymns about rituals with swaras (Raagas). The Sama Veda is known
as the Veda of chants and songs. Hinduism's sacred texts include this old Vedic Sanskrit literature. It is a
liturgical text with 1,875 verses and is one of the four Vedas. Only 75 verses were not taken directly from the
Rig Veda. Figure 7 shows the analysis of three specimens taken from Sama Veda and recording of EEG
signals. Analyzing these three specimen signals frequency range by using Praat simulation tool, most of these
frequency ranges are in alpha brainwave frequency range.
From Table 7 it is very clear that most of the selected Vedic chanting is in the range of Alpha brain
waves which gives the relaxation to human brain (listener). From the Table 8, all the selected speech signals
(Vedic chanting’s) have compared and identified the range of frequencies which fall in brain wave frequency.
Their effect on brain is also observed and tabulated. Among all the Vedic chanting’s, the chanting’s taken
from Sama Veda fall in the alpha brain wave range which effects the human brain and keep the brain in
relaxed state which are in the frequency range of 8-12 Hz.

4. CONCLUSION
A novel methodology has been proposed to identify and compare the frequency range of different
Vedic chantings from Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Atharva Veda, and Sama Veda. Three selected specimens of
duration 10 min. From each Veda has been processed through the simulation compiler Praat and the
parameters like a spectral response, pitch, intensity, formants, and pulses have been observed. In the above-
identified parameters, the frequency in intensity calculation is taken for each sample. This frequency is
compared with the brainwaves for which the frequencies are in the ranges of 0 to >27 Hz (alpha, beta,
gamma, theta, and delta). The extracted signal frequencies from Vedic chantings are compared with
frequencies of brainwaves. As per the literature, the brainwaves in the frequency range of 8-12 Hz (alpha)
give more relaxation to the human brain. Among the four Vedas, the frequencies extracted from Sama Veda
lies in the alpha frequency range. The remaining Vedic chanting frequencies are fluctuating from the alpha
frequency range and the relaxation rate is varying. So, it is concluded that from the proposed work, by
listening Sama Veda the human brain changes its state from stressed to reclined.

Analysis of frequency dependent Vedic chanting and its influence on neural activity of humans

  • 1. International Journal of Reconfigurable and Embedded Systems (IJRES) Vol. 12, No. 2, July 2023, pp. 230~239 ISSN: 2089-4864, DOI: 10.11591/ijres.v12.i2.pp230-239  230 Journal homepage: http://ijres.iaescore.com Analysis of frequency dependent Vedic chanting and its influence on neural activity of humans Veera Raghava Swamy Nalluri, V. J. K. Kishor Sonti, G. Sundari Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, India Article Info ABSTRACT Article history: Received Oct 20, 2022 Revised Dec 12, 2022 Accepted Jan 17, 2023 In this paper a novel methodology is proposed to identify and to compare the frequency range of different Vedic chantings from Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Atharva Veda and Sama Veda. Nowadays in spite of busy schedule and hectic work, the human beings are mostly stressed. To get rid from this stressed state, one of the best solutions is listening Vedic chantings. The alpha brainwaves are in the frequency range of 8-12 Hz under giving relaxation to stressed human being. Three selected samples from each Veda have been processed through the simulation compiler Praat and the parameters like spectral response, pitch, intensity, formants and pulses have observed. In the above identified parameters, the frequency in intensity calculation is taken for each sample. This frequency is compared with the brainwaves for which the frequencies are in the ranges of 0 Hz to >27 Hz (alpha, beta, gamma, theta and delta). The extracted signal frequencies from Vedic chantings are compared with frequencies of brainwaves. Among the four Vedas, the frequencies extracted from Sama Veda lies in alpha frequency range. The remaining is fluctuating from alpha. Keywords: Atharva veda Brain waves Rig veda Sama veda Vedic chantings Yajur veda This is an open access article under the CC BY-SA license.

INTRODUCTION Different challenges are faced by the people work in the industries, offices and even in business, our attentiveness and concentration are decreased and increasing their stress and anxiety. This situation creates health problems like increasing stress, blood pressure, and stress management is gaining importance day by day [1]. Vedas as authority of Sabda pramana [2], Shabda hints to words expressed verbally as a mantra. This Shabda or sound or acoustic signal that generates out by the pronunciation of Vedic texts and mantras is believed to have a profound effect on our mental system [3]. The sound of traditional patters produces vibrations that have a beneficial psychological effect on both the chanters and listeners. Vedic melodies produce incredible sonic vibrations that can change vitality at all stages of development [4]. They affect the psyche and reach subliminal levels where our karmic patterns are preserved. The best possible recitation of the mantras can diminish stress and pressure [5]. Hindu and Buddhist practitioners utilize meditation to focus the mind and shut out extraneous distractions that interfere with concentration [6]. Sound-based Vedic chanting (such as a powerful mantra) has the potential to heal and elevate consciousness [7]. Speech and chanting are old religious traditions used to assist people increase their ability to move energy to the body and mind [8].

Int J Reconfigurable & Embedded Syst ISSN: 2089-4864  Analysis of frequency dependent Vedic chanting and its influence on … (Veera Raghava Swamy Nalluri) 231 Neuroscientists are fascinated by the mental process that occurs during probing. Equipped with technology to analyse brain activity such as emotions induced by brainwave activation alpha wave, beta wave, gamma wave, delta wave and theta wave [9]–[12]. Electroencephalogram (EEG) stimuli such as sound have been shown in experiments to alter the brain [13]–[15]. Some researchers they practice and listen Vedic sounds like ‘OM’, Om Namah shivaya, observed stress, anxiety and blood pressure before and after. They observed levels of these parameters decreased [16]–[19]. The brain waves work almost like musical notes. Some are low frequency; others are high frequency. Together they have the power to create harmony and brain relaxation. The thoughts, emotions and sensations are in perfect balance, cantered and open to everything that surrounds a human being [1], [20]– [25]. The classification of brain waves is as follows shown in Figure 1. Table 1 shows the frequency and its effect on brain. As per the survey of literature alpha waves gives more relaxation to brain and improves the critical thinking. “I want to train my Alpha brain waves to be more relaxed and get more inner peace”. The alpha waves will be generated in those in-between, twilight times when a human being is calm but not asleep. The frequency range of alpha waves may vary from 8-12 Hz. Classification of Alpha waves and their effects are shown in Table 2 [15], [19]. Figure 1. Brain wave frequency range Table 1.

METHOD The voice clips of Vedic chantings (Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, and Atharva Veda) have been processed thorough Praat simulation tool. The parameters like sound spectrum (spectrogram), pitch, intensity, pulses, formants have observed for all the four Vedas chantings. From the spectrogram the frequency ranges of the sound waves have been identified. These frequency ranges are classified and divided as delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma range of frequencies. In the above observed frequency ranges, the voice clips having frequency in the range of Alpha have taken and make it listen by the listener and observed their emotions by using MATLAB (emotion recognition). The process flow to identify the frequency range of Vedic chanting is shown in Figure 2. Figure 2. Process flow to identify the frequency range of Vedic chanting The speech signals of four Vedas (Rig Veda, Atharva Veda, Yajur Veda and Sama Veda) has been analysed using the simulation tool Praat. The time duration of the speech signal for which the analysis has been done is below 10 sec. Three different speech signals with different types of mantras (Chanting) from each Veda has considered for analysis. The spectral response of the input speech signal (Vedic chanting) is observed within the spectral frequency range of 1 to 20 Hz. The parameters spectral frequency, pitch, intensity, formants and pulses for a speech signal (Vedic chanting) were investigated in this research. The frequency range detected in the analysed speech stream is compared to the frequency range of brain waves (delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Veda is defined as a collection of hymns and mantras. These are chanted during rituals. When listening chantings by neuro transmission, human brain will excite and generate brain waves (delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma). Vedas are mainly classified into four Vedas. They are Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Atharva Veda and Sama Veda. Analysing these four Vedas chanting, checking of their frequencies are done with in alpha frequency range. 3.1. Atharva veda The Atharva Veda is filled with a number of enchantments, charms, and spells. This sets it apart from other Vedas, which place more of an emphasis on ceremonial and sacrifice. Figure 3 shows the analysis of three specimens taken from Atharva Veda and recording of EEG signals. Analysing these three signals frequency ranges by using Praat simulation tool, most of these specimen frequency ranges are in alpha brainwave frequency range. From Table 3 it is evident that most of the selected Vedic chanting is in the range of alpha brain waves which gives the relaxation to the brain of human being (listener). Figure 3.

A collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns from ancient India is known as the Rigveda or Rig Veda. It is one of the four revered Vedic scriptures that Hindus consider to be canonical. The earliest known Vedic Sanskrit text is the Rigveda. The earliest texts in any Indo-European language are found in its early strata. Figure 4 shows the analysis of three specimens taken from Rig Veda and recording of EEG signals. Analyzing these three signals frequency by using Praat simulation tool, most of these frequency ranges are in alpha brainwave frequency range. From Table 4 it is evident that most of the selected Vedic chanting is in the range of theta and alpha brain waves which gives the relaxation and alertness to the human brain (listener). Figure 4.

It is one of the four Vedas and one of the scriptures of Hinduism. It has ritual- offering formula that was said by a priest, an individual performed ritual actions in front of the yagna fire. It is mainly grouped into two i.e., Krishna Yajur Veda and Shukla Yajur Veda. 3.3.1. Krishna Yajur veda Krishna Yajur Veda means motley collection of verses. The Brahmana scriptures are incorporated into the samhitas of Krishna Yajur Veda. Figure 5 shows the analysis of three specimens taken from Krishna Yajur Veda and recording of EEG signals. Analyzing these three specimens by using Praat simulation tool, most of these frequency ranges are in range of alpha brainwave frequency. From Table 5 it is evident that most of the selected Vedic chanting is in the range of delta, theta and alpha brain waves which gives the relaxation, alertness, dreamless sleep and loss of body awareness to human being (listener).

The phrase "white" or "bright" refers to the Shukla Yajur Veda, which is the "well-arranged, clear" Yajur Veda. Figure 6 shows the analysis of three specimens taken from Shukla Yajur Veda and recording of EEG signals. Analyzing these three specimen signals by using Praat simulation tool, most of these frequency ranges are in alpha brainwave frequency range. From Table 6 it is evident that most of the selected Vedic chanting is in the range of theta and alpha brain waves which gives the relaxation and alertness to the human brain (listener). Figure 6.

The Sama Veda is known as the Veda of chants and songs. Hinduism's sacred texts include this old Vedic Sanskrit literature. It is a liturgical text with 1,875 verses and is one of the four Vedas. Only 75 verses were not taken directly from the Rig Veda. Figure 7 shows the analysis of three specimens taken from Sama Veda and recording of EEG signals. Analyzing these three specimen signals frequency range by using Praat simulation tool, most of these frequency ranges are in alpha brainwave frequency range. From Table 7 it is very clear that most of the selected Vedic chanting is in the range of Alpha brain waves which gives the relaxation to human brain (listener). From the Table 8, all the selected speech signals (Vedic chanting’s) have compared and identified the range of frequencies which fall in brain wave frequency. Their effect on brain is also observed and tabulated. Among all the Vedic chanting’s, the chanting’s taken from Sama Veda fall in the alpha brain wave range which effects the human brain and keep the brain in relaxed state which are in the frequency range of 8-12 Hz.

CONCLUSION A novel methodology has been proposed to identify and compare the frequency range of different Vedic chantings from Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Atharva Veda, and Sama Veda. Three selected specimens of duration 10 min. From each Veda has been processed through the simulation compiler Praat and the parameters like a spectral response, pitch, intensity, formants, and pulses have been observed. In the above- identified parameters, the frequency in intensity calculation is taken for each sample. This frequency is compared with the brainwaves for which the frequencies are in the ranges of 0 to >27 Hz (alpha, beta, gamma, theta, and delta). The extracted signal frequencies from Vedic chantings are compared with frequencies of brainwaves. As per the literature, the brainwaves in the frequency range of 8-12 Hz (alpha) give more relaxation to the human brain. Among the four Vedas, the frequencies extracted from Sama Veda lies in the alpha frequency range. The remaining Vedic chanting frequencies are fluctuating from the alpha frequency range and the relaxation rate is varying. So, it is concluded that from the proposed work, by listening Sama Veda the human brain changes its state from stressed to reclined. REFERENCES [1] M. Khan and A.
