Abstract

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.

Abstract

Electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis explores brainwave changes resulting from Vedic chanting (VC) in this experimental study. In this study participants received Vedic recitations from the Rig Veda (RV), Yajur Veda (YV), Sama Veda (SV), and Atharva Veda (AV) which were evaluated through alpha wave (8-12 Hz) measurement to evaluate relaxation response effects known to cause cognitive relaxation and mindfulness. The research captured EEG signals from twenty participants who belonged to four age categories between twenty and fifty years using a fourteen-channel EEG recording system. The signals underwent wavelet-based denoising procedures and Gabor transform (GT) enabled their spectral analysis. Scientists calculated the relaxation factor (RF) for understanding Vedic chant effects on human beings. Vedic Sama provided maximum relaxation effects leading to a 25% RF enhancement whereas YV produced a 20% increase and RV generated 15% enhancement and AV yielded 10% relaxation. The participants between 30 and 45 years old experienced the largest relaxation effects yet their left-brain hemisphere enhanced alpha waves stronger than their right brain region. The statistical methods supported that these results showed meaningful variations. Neural relaxation results from VC practice according to research evidence which shows SV provides the most powerful relaxation effects.
