Spiritual life force in Hindustani music

Spiritual life force in Hindustani music

By BINDU CHAWLA

In Hindustani music, ragas are said to number no less than a total of 999, representing as many shades of mood and emotion of the human heart. And they contain one underlying rasa !

In our times a musician normally sings or plays a quarter of this number in an entire lifetime. In the human heart, rasa lies in the emotional sparkle. Emotions, also said to number no less than perhaps a total of 999 in the cosmosphere, representing as many shades of mood in the human heart, contain one underlying rasa: bhakti .
