    thank you charu madam,
    As you say, a slight slip in notes may lead to adjustant raga - bairavi will have an impact while referring to muhari.
    If not a trained ear as you say, distinguishing ragas of similar pattrerns will stand a challenge.

    regards,

    Dear madam

    Thanks for the details.

    I find raga Mukhari and Bhairavi are more or less same, as am not able to appreciate the finer difference between the two. May be you are the right person to brief on this.

    The Hindu article is it published once a month.

    Thanks a lot once again

    "Kannukkul potthi vaippen"....very well sung ma'am. In the last few days have listened to this song innumerable times. My 5 year old just loves this song and she sings this pretty well. Quite a rare ragam combination (guess it shifts between mukhari, saaranga and hamir kalyani.....not an expert), and very pleasing to hear in your voice. Of course, needless to say, Vijay Prakash and Sadana Sargam as well.......amazing combination!!! arpudham!

    However, Rajan Maharajan is in Huseni and not Mukhari. Is it not?

I have to identify it!!!!

Dear Rasika, The wonderful thing about Ragas in the Indian Classical music system is that they are unique, and each one of them have something that is typically only associated with them, that which is irreplaceable. It is easy to fool an average listener in a little game of "Identify the raga" in a post-dinner Carnatic music party, and chuckle as he identifies a Sri raga as a Madhyamavati or a Pharas as a Mayamalavagowla..but how many of us self-confessed aficionados of this great system really have a fool-proof method of unambiguously identifying, each time, every time, the raga correctly? I doubt very many of us do, and this includes the smug critic or the know-it-all mama-mami duo next door. Lets face it - there are many factors that go into identifying a raga - the musical intelligence of the person who is playing or singing in the specimen recording, the level of sophistication of the music system, the extent of deafness of the listener or the lack of it, peer pressur...

Bhairavi Swarajati - Amba Kamakshi

Image
Creating this recording and the video was a spiritual experience for me. Raga Bhairavi has magical powers and envelopes the soul. This kriti "Amba Kamakshi" was composed on the goddess at Kanchi "Kamakshi" by the great Shyama Sastri. This kriti is a call of the child's soul to the divine mother "Amba". Each and every person can relate to this call to the divine, this I truly believe. I dedicate this video and kriti to Kanchi Kamakshi Ambal, Sri Mahaperiyava and Shyama Sastri. I also recall with fond love my guru Late Smt Savitri Saytamurthy who painstakingly taught me this piece "Amba Kamakshi" and many other precious gems in music.  More on Raga Bhairavi: Raga Bhairavi - SoundCloud Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/charulathamani/sets/raga-bhairavi A Raga's Journey - Bewitching Bhairavi: http://charulathamani.blogspot.in/2012/07/ragas-journey-bewitching-bhairavi.html
