Samādhi (Pali and Sanskrit: समाधि), in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and yogic schools, is a state of meditative consciousness. In Buddhism, it is the last of the eight elements of the Noble Eightfold Path.[web 1] In the Ashtanga Yoga tradition, it is the eighth and final limb identified in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
In the oldest Buddhist sutras, on which several contemporary western Theravada teachers rely, it refers to the development of an investigative and luminous mind which is equanimous and mindful. In the yogic traditions, and the Buddhist commentarial tradition on which the Burmese Vipassana movement and the Thai Forest tradition rely, it is interpreted as a meditative absorption or trance, attained by the practice of dhyāna
Samadhi es el estado de conciencia que se alcanza cuando, durante la meditación, la persona siente que se está fundiendo con el universo. En varias tradiciones religiosas y místicas del Este de Asia ―como el hinduismo, el budismo, el jainismo, el sijismo y en el yoga― el samādhi se considera un estado de conciencia de meditación, contemplación o recogimiento en el que se siente alcanzar la unidad con lo divino.
El término sánscrito samādhi (en alfabeto devanagari: समाधि) proviene de sam o samiak: ‘completo’ y ādhi: ‘absorción [mental]’.
El objetivo último de la práctica meditativa del yoga, es el logro del samadhi.
El samadhi es un objetivo buscado tanto dentro del hinduismo como en el budismo.

For this composition, I use the Mela Keeravani scale.
Keeravani (pronounced keeravāṇi) is a rāgam in Carnatic music (musical scale of South Indian classical music). It is the 21st Melakarta rāgam in the 72 melakarta rāgam system of Carnatic music. The 21st melakarta rāgam as per Muthuswami Dikshitar school of music is Kiraṇāval̥i.
This rāgam is a popular scale in western music as well. The Western equivalent is the Harmonic minor scale. It is said to be borrowed into Hindustani music from Carnatic music.
Keeravani scale with shadjam at C
It is the 3rd rāgam in the 4th chakra Veda. The mnemonic name is Veda-Go. The mnemonic phrase is sa ri gi ma pa dha nu.]Its ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows (see swaras in Carnatic music for details on below notation and terms):

ārohaṇa: S R₂ G₂ M₁ P D₁ N₃ Ṡ[a]
avarohaṇa: Ṡ N₃ D₁ P M₁ G₂ R₂ S[b]
The notes used in this scale are chathusruthi rishabha, sadharana gandhara, suddha madhyama, panchama, suddha dhaivatha, kakali nishadha.
As it is a melakarta rāgam, by definition it is a sampoorna rāgam (has all seven notes in ascending and descending scale). It is the shuddha madhyamam equivalent of Simhendramadhyamam, which is the 57th melakarta.
Janya Rāgams
Keeravani has many janya rāgams (derived scales) associated with it. Kalyāna vasantam is a popular janya of Keeravani. See List of janya rāgams for full list of rāgams associated with Keeravani. Other popular janya ragams include Sāmapriya and Vasantamanohari.

For this composition, I use the Tembung scale (C, Db, F, G, Ab.) is the second main pentatonic mode of the pelog scale and is obtained by treating the third and seventh of the pelog scale as auxiliaries. Tembung has a very similar profile to the Japanese kumo hoshi koto scale. Origen: Indonesia. Used in Gamelan music.

For this composition, I am using the Diminished scale.
The half-whole diminished scale is one of the most commonly used scales in jazz soloing. Its main function is to add alterations to the dominant 7 chords. This creates a great deal of tension which usually resolves when the dominant moves to the tonic chord.  I have included a PDF that explains the alterations added to a dominant 7 chord, 2 lines, that use the diminished scale, and a sheet explaining patterns within the scale.
Once you have become comfortable with the half/whole diminished scale, you can then start looking for interesting patterns within it. If we look at the notes again, we will see that there are several major triads within the scale (Please note that to be clear, enharmonic equivalents are used): C–Db–Eb–E–F#–G–A–Bb

Into The Ether

For this composition, I use the Phrygian mode.
The Phrygian mode (pronounced /ˈfrɪdʒiən/) can refer to three different musical modes: the ancient Greek tonos or harmonia, sometimes called Phrygian, formed on a particular set of octave species or scales; the medieval Phrygian mode, and the modern conception of the Phrygian mode as a diatonic scale, based on the latter.
the scale in C phrygian is: C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb.
Medieval Phrygian mode
The early Catholic Church developed a system of eight musical modes that medieval music scholars gave names drawn from the ones used to describe the ancient Greek harmoniai. The name "Phrygian" was applied to the third of these eight church modes, the authentic mode on E, described as the diatonic octave extending from E to the E an octave higher and divided at B, therefore beginning with a semitone-tone-tone-tone pentachord, followed by a semitone-tone-tone tetrachord.

Eastern Moon

A lunar phase or Moon phase is the apparent shape of the Moon's directly sunlit portion as viewed from the Earth (because the Moon is tidally locked with the Earth, the same hemisphere is always facing the Earth). In common usage, the four major phases are the new moon, the first quarter, the full moon, and the last quarter; the four minor phases are waxing crescent, waxing gibbous, waning gibbous, and waning crescent. A lunar month is the time between successive recurrences of the same phase: due to the eccentricity of the Moon's orbit, this duration is not perfectly constant but averages about 29.5 days.

The appearance of the Moon (its phase) gradually changes over a lunar month as the relative orbital positions of the Moon around Earth, and Earth around the Sun, shift. The visible side of the Moon is sunlit to varying extents, depending on the position of the Moon in its orbit, with the sunlit portion varying from 0% (at new moon) to nearly 100% (at full moon)

Citta or chitta is a term used in Buddhism to refer to the mind. It is one of three overlapping terms used in the nikaya to refer to the mind, the others being manas and viññāṇa. The Pali–English Dictionary translates citta as heart or heart-mind, emphasizing it as more the emotive side of the mind, as opposed to manas as the intellect in the sense of what grasps mental objects (dhamma). Citta is the object of meditation in the third part of Satipatthana, also called Four Foundations of Mindfulness 1. In Indian Psychology, chitta is the seat and organ of thought 1. It represents the mind, thoughts, emotions, or in a nutshell the metaphysics of our mind.
