In the word “Saama‟,“Sa‟ means Rik and “Ama‟ means svara. Rik or svara in isolation does not constitute Saama. The union of the two alone is Saama. Music has no geographical border. The word music is explained as M=melody, U=universal, S=soul, I=individuality, C=cultural development. It says if person worships with this music the person reaches god.

Buddism and Jainism both were Indian religions developed in Magadha (present Bihar, India), continued to thrive in modern times, spread from middle-east to south-east and Far-east. Though Buddha and Mahavir (24th thirthankara of present cycle) were contemporaries who did not meet. Rishbha dev, 1st thirthankara of Jainism travelled globally to spread Jainism. In 8th century B.C Jainsism spread to Nepal, Greece, Panhave (Iran), Bhali (a city in Bactria which was north of Hindu kush mountains and south of Amu dariya river covers present Afganistan, Tazakistan, Uzbekistan and northern part of Pakistan), Suvarnabhumi (land of gold, present day Indonesian Archipelago (an extensive group of islands) Sumatra or Java and Malaysia), Siam (present Thailand), Philistia (present land of Palestine), Ceylon (present Sri Lanka). King Ravana (in that cycle of Jainism), is said to have erected a Jain temple in Trikutagiri and another statue of Parshwanath (unsure of number of cycle of Jainism) is found in the caves of Tripura in Sri Lanka. Presently Jainism is not popular in not only in this region but also South Asia and Far East because of food habbits. Jain food is purely vegetarian (not even egg) where as there are no food restrictions in Buddhism. Presently Jainism is flourishing more in India, U.S.A, U.K, African countries like Kenya, Uganda, spreading fast into other places like Australia etc as more people are migrating. Though Buddism is existing in India, it spread to Himalayan countries like Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, Sri Lanka in south and then it spread fast to Far-East countries like Indonesian archipelago (an extensive group of island), Malaysia, Japan and particularly China. China had adopted Buddhism because there was no religion before, only teaching of leaders like Tao were followed and the teachings of Tao and Buddha were intermingled.
