Raga Appreciation

[ab_123]

Very informative post. I am not very knowledgeable, but would like to learn.

I know that certain ragas are to be sung at certain times of the day, but how much truth is there to the belief that certain ragas cause certain reactions?

E.g.

Megha Raagam = rain (Example of BalamuraliKrishna)
Deepak Raagam = fire (Infact someone went to the extent of saying that singing this raagam could cause a burning sensation, and that is why there are no songs that are taught in this raagam ).

Hi Guys,

I am really sorry that I was not available all these days. I dont want to put in some excuse for my laziness.... Okie.. I was a bit lethargic.

I would have loved to see someone (Sudhama) picking it up and taking forward. But I trust we need to move on and wait.. I am starting to type in my first post after a long time...
