@tothszabi: i like this raag.. 

[MrAmorett]

Do these performers have an album for sale? I tried searching online and could not find anything :(

[LaggardInLove]

Beautiful!

[titchymcmidget]

Is this a more modern Indian classical piece?

[KumarTabla]

@titchymcmidget I guess you can somewhat say that. The repertoire of what they are playing is very old, hundreds of years in fact, but I guess the organization of the performance is more contemporary. It is a quite beautiful combination of instruments. Raag Malkauns in Teentaal. Very nice!

[scottiszlass]

I expected finale to be more rousing for an orchestra

[davidaud777]

I remember that the Hindu word for 'musician' is "bhagavathar", lit., 'one who sings the praises of God' What attunement among the musicians! Magic indeed of a great spiritual source.

dwchoyt,

There's no doubt that ragas in the Hindu tradition have a spiritually mystic origin. Ragas in the Vedas were designed for instruments of meditation, and mediums of expression of bhakti, or devotion, to the Supreme.

My honest opinion is that there's no better way to express one's personal devotion to God than through music.

[scottiszlass]

does it matter how you do it --I do mine by walking meditation.- it only matters as long as you do it for humanity

[nagyica]

just look at their faces: there's magic going on...

hey, when will this be performed in the Indian Cultural Centre (Budapest)? :D
