What is the aroah and avroah of jog? Thanks

[bansuriraj]

Aaroh : Sa, Ga(komal), Ma (shuddh), Pa, Ni (komal), Sa"

Avaroh: Sa", Ni (komal), Pa, Ma (shuddh), Ga(komal), Sa

Bansuriraj

[bansuriraj]

Please note, the Ga is used in both its versions-komal and shudddh in a very peculiar & judicious way, in both the aaroh & avroh, that distinguishes this raga distinctly. So technically, both the Ga's should be mentioned.

This is beautiful. I am learning how to play the bansuri now. Any good advice anyone?

[bansuriraj]

1. Get hold of a good Guru who is technically & musically VERY sound.

2. Practise breathing & fingerwork excerises regularly.

3. Stop smoking, if you are a smoker.

4. Listen to as much good classical music as you can to traing your ears & your mind.

4. No matter what happens NEVER EVER give up.

I have been playing the flute for over 35 years now, yet it never ceases to fascinate me. I still keep discovering new musical horizons everytime I play it.

Best of luck!

How about giving credit to the accompanists?

Names and Instruments?

Thanks for wonderful vid.

[gurubhai]

Yogesh Samsi is accompanying on the tabla but the tanpura player's name will remain in anonymity for all eternity... I have no idea who she is but there's a good chance she is one of Panditji's disciples.

[bansuriraj]

No, she is not Hariji 's disciple. She simply happens to be accompanying Hariji on the tanpura.

How I wish the quality of the video was good! Nevertheless, a real treat! Thanks!

truly beautiful!

[Achalverma]

It is clearly Raaga Jog as is mentioned in the title.

On Bansuri it sounds so wonderful. Nice to listen to such music.

[oshogg]

YB?? Osho here..

This is Raga Jog I think..

Osho

[kishorepalle]

Beautiful, Thanks for posting this up. Can someone help me finding what raga is this...? To me I feel like it is Nattai... Can some one correct me?

[bansuriraj]

It is Raga Jog which is the Hindustani music equivalent of Carnatic Raga Nattai. It uses both ga 's (komal & shuddh), suddh ma & komal ni. Re & Dha are absent. It is a late evening melody & sounds simply divine on the bansuri (bamboo flute). I play it very regularly at my solo concerts. Bansuriraj
