The Five Elements Bundle
Joyous Greetings from Team SVARAM!
We are delighted to share with you the fruits of more than two decades of joyful creative works, a harmonious and dedicated community-building enterprise based on human unity in diversity aspiring for perfection, empowered by a progressive, future-oriented outlook reflecting and manifesting the divine vision-goal of Auroville, the City of Dawn, with our 23rd Anniversary Offering — specially reduced bundled prices on our Sound Healing Instruments tuned to a Just Intonation, natural system: the harmonic matrix on the scientific pitch C 256.
Here's a bit of background information, followed by the Five Elements Bundle options:
Sound as an Expression of Natural Order
The framework of the Five Elements — Space, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth — with their distinct qualities, energies, and symbolic meanings, offers a clear yet profound system for understanding the diversity and subtle complexity of music, musical instruments, and their modes of expression. Rooted in ancient philosophical and healing traditions, this elemental model provides both a foundational reference and an intuitive map for navigating sound as a living phenomenon.
Music itself reflects the dynamics of open, organic systems found throughout nature. Accordingly, the Five Elements framework is not to be understood as a rigid classification, but as a fluid, flexible, and holographic system. Each element inherently contains all five within it; each informs and is informed by the others. Fire carries Earth’s stability, Water holds Space’s depth, Air moves through all — an interdependence that mirrors the nature of sound and perception.
In this same way, each instrument — even when characterized by a predominant elemental field — possesses a wide expressive range. A string or monochord resonator, for example, may carry a primarily watery quality through its sustained, flowing resonance, yet it can equally be played in a fiery and percussive manner, a chaotic or random mode, or in a quiet, grounded, earth-like expression. Elemental identity, therefore, does not limit use; rather, it serves as a starting point for exploration.
Furthermore, sound does not arise in isolation. The situational context — time, space, environment, and specific setting — along with the needs and inner process of the listener or client, and the intentionality of the practitioner, all actively shape the experience. These factors interact continuously, colouring and enriching the intricate and clearly sym-phonic interplay of the Five Elements.
Within this understanding, the Five Elements Bundles are offered not as fixed prescriptions, but as living instruments of inquiry — tools for listening, learning, and attuning to the subtle relationships between sound, nature, and consciousness.
TUNING: The Elemental Bundles are part of the SVARAM New Waves – Sound Healing Instruments, which are tuned - in contrast to the standardized A 440 (or a fraction lower A 432) western system with its equal tempered 12 tones – to a Just Intonation, natural system: the harmonic matrix on the scientific pitch C 256. This reflects the organic building principles of our universe and bodies and is based on its natural laws of proportion and harmonic intervals and progressions. The pure vibrations of these New Waves can create a synchronic resonance with our organism and the elemental layers of the being.
