sruti

• The Aryans cultivated the drug soma, which put the brahmins into a state of ecstatic trance in which they “heard” ( sruti ) the inspired Sanskrit texts known as the Vedas. —  Buddha
• He believed that instead of receiving knowledge from outside, like the sruti Vedas, each person must find the truth within his own being. —  Buddha
• The North (Miraj) and South Indian (Tanjore) versions are constructed slightly differently and produce a slightly different sound though they perform the same function, that is to provide a "drone" to help the musician sing in pitch (sruti). —  Desicritics
• Maintaining sruti, or singing in pitch is very important and therefore the Tanpura is absolutely essential in Indian classical music. —  Desicritics
• Nowadays one gets electronic sruti boxes and electronic tamburas that are much easier to carry around, that look like small radios. —  Desicritics
