The concept of Rag in the global music scenario has been a constant source of inspiration to me. I am in awe of this unique concept and its creators. This melody centric idea known as 'the Rag' has made musicians delve deep into the world of svars/notes - as each of these ragshave a limited, yet an exclusive combination of svars. These distinctive aspects in turn lead one to interact profoundly and intensely with the relevant svars of a particular rag, along with the shrutis . microtones and several other finger tones embedded between the svars. In due course of time, rags enable us to embrance the massive world of microtones and countless other musical sounds or nads as if one is flying in the sky touching several stars at some point. Such is the power of rags. However, when a novice is introduced to this form of music, it appeals as mere melody, but that is how a learner begins to groom herself into the wonderful world of rags. It is a pleasure to the children engrossed, while singing simple tunes in Rag Bhopali a rag with only five svars. One Could compare this pleasure to gazing at the stars across the night sky. While all of us delight by gazing at the stars. only a few eventually will have the privilege of exploring them in close quarters as physicists or astronomers. Similarly, all os us hear rags with various svars with our limited imagination, but only a few are blessed and destined to visit svars in depth, witnessing and exeriencing the world of srutis and nads.
