Here is my question: I am looking for information about Raga Samay. I don't want to know when to play what - there is ample information on that available - but rather about the theory behind it. Does anyone know any book on this topic he or she would care to recommend? I can read English, German, French, and Hindi (my Sanskrit is very rusty). Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.


Thank you in advance,


T. Raja

I am trying to play the Marathi song 'Malvun Taak Deep' on keyboard. I see that this website lists this song for raag Bibhas which has swar S-r-G-P-d-S'. But when I play the song Shudha re seems suitable instead of komal re. Can you please share your thoughts?


Thanks.

I have a question about titles awarded to artists such as Pandit, or Ustaad, Vidushi and Begum. Are there any rules as to when a person starts being called Pandit, Ustad or Vidushi? And until then, what are they called?


Would really appreciate any information on this. Thanks,

I have listened to Kaushi Kanada by Pt. Vasantrao Deshpande and have listened to Sampurn Malkaunsa by Gaansaraswati Kishori Amonkar. Can someone elaborate on the difference between the two Raags? Swarganga Raagbase seems to have Sampurn Malkaunsa but not Kaushi Kanada.
