वेदानां सामवेदोऽस्मि Among the Vedas, I am the Sama Veda. Bhagavad Gita 10.22
Brings People Together: Even though ancient Indian writings don’t directly say this, famous stories like the Ramayana and Mahabharata show people from different places bonding over music.
Helps Kids with Feelings: The oldest Indian scriptures, the Vedas, talk about learning four things, one of which is music (Samaveda). Music helps kids express their feelings in a healthy way.
Smarter Brains: An ancient Indian law book, Manusmriti (be aware it has some outdated views), says learning different things like crafts and music (Gayanam) is good for your brain (Buddhi) – like making it sharper!
