Shastriya Sudha
Mountain Soul ~ Raag Pahadi Playful and pensive, this composition of the Raag Pahadi presents an aural portrait of the the mountains, rivers, waterfalls, nature, lakes, sunrise and sunset - the entire phenomenon of the nature in its full cycle of sound. Deepchandi Taal. The Silent Evening ~ Raag Yeman Rendered with the articulate Rupak Taal, this early evening Raag just about the time when the sun sets and the birds start to go silent in their nests, the Yeman energy evokes the soothing and settleing moment as the inner soul takes a deep awaited rest after a long day's out in the heat energy of the sun, the freezing snow or the grey cloudy day. This composition is especially designed to bring comfort and calm in the sigh of the evening. The Healing Heart~ Raag Kirwani The rich, colourful intonation of the Raag Kirwani is treated in this composition with subtle melodies in every bend and turn of the notes and rhythm as its tonal aura glows to delight the heart and inspire a deep sense of pure love and devotion to the divine, the loved ones or even to the self. Maestros like Ustad Mehdi Hasan have offered their talent to this Raag through Gazal songs to reflect its grandeur considered as high as the crown in its order of being. Beauty of Night ~ Raag Yeman With the Teen Taal at the root of this composition the ever soothing Raag Yeman further resounds its devotional melody ushering the now rested mind and the heart into the calm of the nature and the surrounding. A slightly up paced timing opens up the possibility to the mind and the being to transport into the peception of the Raag of the upcoming Prahar. Heart Chakra ~ Raag Bilawal Simple as a pure heart, this composition exactly reflects the beauty of simplicity through its pleasant sound narrative telling the story of a simple life painted with the colours of the good feelings. The Heart Chakra is thus the story of the ever connecting harmony strings that binds us as one, makes us stronger as one, and allows us to be in connection with the planet and the universe as one. The Final Wrath ~ Raag Bhairavi The wrathful attributes of the Raag Bhairavi consolidates all the scattered energy and wields them all into one active life force allowing the soul to reach and touch the zenith of all existence - that to the peak of enlightenment. Bhairavi is a Ghor Raaga of the deep night and expresses the feeling of completeness as it is especially played to conclude a concert or a long music session - the Samapan. The mahol or the sorrounding goes silent once the Bhairavi comes to an end. For the yogis, it is a continuation of deep meditative trance
