The Realtime RagaPlayer

REALTIME
--------------------------------------------------------

In the backend of the RagaPlayer our Ayurveda Sundial does its job and calculates the 8 periods (praharas). Because of the solar time it is assured, that a morning raga in fact starts to play at the beginning of the day – since our »normal« time can deviate from factual time immensely:

Mornings up to ca. 5 hours; Midday up to ca. 3 hours; Evenings up to ca. 5 hours

In western Europe, deviations in summer could be as follows: Morning: ca. ±0 hours, Midday: ca. 2 hours, Evening: ca. 4 hours. Astonishing – but that's what happens when a rigid system (time zone time) meets a very dynamic (solar time). Considering these values, every time-based therapy, science or lifestyle comes under question.


RAGA
--------------------------------------------------------

The Raga or Rag (Hindi: राग, rāg; Sanskrit: रागः) forms the melodic structure of the inidan mucic. It
creates a »sound personality« witch is often assigned to a special day time or situation (e. g. season) according to the emotional quality of that moment.
  Ragas of specific day time periodes you find on the web (e.g. Maharishi Ayurveda Products: http://tinyurl.com/GandharvaMusic)
