Relaxing Music - Raag Megh (Cloud Raga)

Tune Description:

*My best guess: It's based on Raag Megh (Mishr due to the occasional Dha - not counting the Ga note touched by mistake)

*Heard from a tape of Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Gambhir singing the Shabad: "Vin Bolia Sabh Kich Jaanda Kis Aagai Keechai Ardaas?" - not in Title Raag though.

I love this tune, especially when playing/singing it and thinking of what the words mean - It's so relaxing that it gives me goosebumps.

by the way: Megh ,pronounced MAYgh means Cloud/Clouds. Listening to Raag Megh generally generates a cooling and soothing feeling.

Lovely Music, just wanted to know does this type of music have any religious significance? Thanks.

[manavk]

Indian classical music is meditative.. and a lot of great artists (Muslims and Hindus alike) say they use it as a means to connect to the Almighty.

Our Sikh Scriptures were also written with instructions to use Raags (Indian Classical Music) as a tool or vehicle to calm the mind and connect with the Universal Energy.

@stillnessONtheWAY raag is the painting on the canvas of sound you are hearing. On the other hand a dilruba and esraj are very similiar instruments.

[ShivadamParvati]

Your meend is so smooth, Bhai-sahib. It is a genuine inspiration to my practice. Shanta-raas shines from your heart. I appreciate you sharing your beautiful skill.

Sat Naam,

Shivadam

[stillnessONtheWAY]

so hold on now.. is raag and esraj being referred to one instrument or are they actually different sounding instruments?

@manavk - I think you mistakingly wrote Ma Sudh. Its Maa Komal in Raag Megh.
