Relative Minors

With reference to my previous post->(To find out the major scales other than C) please note the fifth highlighted note in the C Major scale. We have to apply the formula for major scales as said in my previous post from the highlighted note
and find out the respective scale. For e.g. the Major scale following the Sa Major scale is Pa, and the scale for Pa is shown below

Pa
Dha2
Ni2
Sa
Ri2
Ga2
Ma2
Pa

Now, this scale is also called as relative minor . It can be effectively called as Pa scale is relative minor to Sa scale. Minor scales can also be found by finding the 6th degree of the major scale. (meaning finding the 6th note from starting note and playing the same notes as the major scale).

The relative minor scale to Sa is shown below
:

It is dha2 scale that is relative minor to sa scale. The scale is shown below with a screenshot.

Dha2
Ni2
Sa
Ri2
Ga2
Ma1
Pa
Dha2
