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 – our »normal« time can deviate from the factual solar time immensely:

Morning: up to ca. 5h, Midday: up to ca. 3h, Evening: up to ca. 5h

In western Europe, deviations in summer could be as follows: Morning: ca. ± 0h, Midday: ca. 2h, Evening: ca. 4h.
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) and according to the emotional quality of that moment.
