Tabla Syllables - Where did the phrase TaKeTiNa come from?
The bol "Ta Ke Ti Na" derives from a corpus of material common among tabla players for many decades if not centuries.

PHILOSOPHY RELATED TO URC
Water Sound Images – The Creative Music of the Universe (Cymatics) Alexander Lauterwasser
https://www.amazon.com/Water-Sound-Images-Creative-Universe/dp/1888138092
Specific URC themes found in the Book:
universal laws, primordial, primal forces, structure formation as the result of one base matrix, archetypal structuring / patterns / rhythms, shifted forms, synchronization is manifestation as a process of chaos and order, primordial elemental structuring through synchronisation of wave phenomena, vibration as a rhythmically structuring force / rhythm as vibrational field / wave energy, rhythm as oscillation of polarities, pulse /interval, density and empty space, contraction and expansion, systole and diastole, something /nothing, stillness and movement. Density = pulse = stability - The void = immaterial = essence. Simultaneity is the principle of life, something new emerging from the integration/harmonisation of polarities, stillness and movement, permanence and change, rigidity and flexibility. Rhythm is repetition in time, past and future alternating, permanent communication between things past and things yet to be!
