Raga for feelings

Topic started by Hari (@ 155.69.5.123) on Tue Aug 10 04:23:22 EDT 2004.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

Ragas can evoke various feelings in mind if listened properly.

I am listing down a few of my preferences:

1. Mohanam,Kalyani - Happiness

2. Kanada, Sree - Bhakti

3. Darbarikanada, Subhapanthuvarali - Sad

4. Hamsadwani - Energy

Your views please......

  These raagas are quite versatile; for instance, Sudhasaveri would also sound good if used for happiness, empathy or nighttime. Also, I like Hindolam in bhakti or pathos as well.
  
  Here's some more
  
  Eerie: Vasantha, Vijayanagari, Navanitham
  
  Majestic: Sunaadhavinodhini, Ramapriya
  
  Nostalgia: Saalagabhairavi, Maand

  hehehewalrus,
  GowriManohari also makes nostalgic feeling like kapi..You can listen to one mallu song "Rakkuyil padi" in this raga from the film "Kasthuriman".
  
  Purv,
  Nice argument!

  then poove poove vaa - anbulla rajinikant
  pon vaanam panneer thhovudhu inneram
  solai poovil maalai thenral addum - vellai roja
  boopaalam isaikkum - thooral ninnu pochu
  paadum vaanambadi - naan paadum paadal
  poove pani poove - nilavu suduvadhillai

  Guys, I would like some input. What are some raagas that are good for roudram raasa? Or in other words, what are some ragas that effectively portray anger and hatred? I know Athana can be counted as one. Others??

  Athana's mood is actually described as Veera rasa. Devagandhari is also said to evoke Veera rasa, but I don't think comes anywhere near anger. Gowla is much closer to anger.

  I know that, Vinay. Athana is versatile; it can also portray disgust. The other raaga that I've heard can be used for Rowdra rasa is Aarabhi (Huh!!?????)

  My preference for anger would be Gowlai.
  
  And I always feel Bhairavi potrays sarcasm..any opinion on that?
