सामगानम् ॥ Samagana (singing of mantras) as per the rules of Samaveda is said to be the basis and source of the सप्तस्वराः ॥ seven svaras (notes) fundamental to Indian music systems.
The special virtue of Samaveda is that although its mantras are from the Rigveda, they are set to music which is greatly conductive to the spiritual evolution of a human being and to qualify oneself for receiving the grace of the devatas.
Meaning ‘among the Vedas I am the Sama Veda’.
Sri Krishna says in श्रीमद् भगवद्गीता ॥ Shrimad Bhagavadgita (Ch.10 Verse 22) <blockquote>वेदानां सामवेदोस्मि । vedānāṃ sāmavedosmi । </blockquote>Meaning : Among the Vedas, I am the Samaveda.
