Classical music has acquired the position of being the best form of music today specifically because it is first and foremost bhava music- pure and pious. Classical Indian Raagas are like musical tonal color palettes to bring out the emotion or rasa of a specific object being portrayed. In other words, by making use of these Raagas we have the opportunity to manifest specific emotions via music and poetry. A beautiful collection of 36 such Raagas or compositions containing verses set to classical Indian Raagas has just been published by a group composed entirely of Jain saints which are titled, ‘Raagopanishad.’

The core of Hindustani Music is spirituality and the easiest way to attain godliness. Such initiatives like Raagopanishad make you rise in devotion and the compositions make us aware about the rich heritage of Jainism.
