Thank you..I think Music ragas can or shall be connected to mental elements like Reethigowli .. bipolar disorder Mohana .. mania Vasantha .. ocd We can or should associate these and learn music therapy for various elements, Thank you Namaskaram
Dear Mam, Hats off to you ! I really wish to memorize 72 ragas name but find it difficult to do so :( Just a self learner as of now, can you let us know is there any procedure or short cuts to memorize 72 Ragas name ? Kindly do let us know if possible mam, Thank you !
if you've memorized the first 10 ragas then ull find that the first 10 ragas and the second 10 ragas' first letter is mostly the same, that is kanakangi and kokilapriya, ratnangi and rupavati etc. hope it helps!
Pranaamam. Thanks for introducing all 72 Melakarta raagas in one video. What are Audava raagas and those which are not krama raagas. Will you please explain 🙏
Audava raga - any raga that has five Swaras in it Shadava raga - any raga that has six Swaras in it Sampoorna raga - any raga that has seven Swaras in it If a raga is not krama, it is called vakra (literal meaning crooked) raga. For eg Natakuranji has arohana SRGM-NDN-PDNS. This clearly is not a krama raga as Swaras are not in an order. Therefore it is called Vakra raga Hope this helps
Mam, why don't you make more videos on Carnatic music! And I wanna learn Carnatic music. How to contact you for that? Cause you've an academy named Geetanjali!
@@GitanjaliAcademyNJ Thank you. I don't know about classical raagas and all..my family and my friends circle so far from karnatic music.. but I like classical music very much..
Sunadavinodini is a janya raga(child raga) of melakarta raga 65, Meccha Kalyani. So it is not a part of any chakra. It’s parent is a part of Chakra 11.

Pranaamam. Thanks for introducing all 72 Melakarta raagas in one video. What are Audava raagas and those which are not krama raagas. Will you please explain 🙏
Audava raga - any raga that has five Swaras in it

If a raga is not krama, it is called vakra (literal meaning crooked) raga. For eg Natakuranji has arohana SRGM-NDN-PDNS. This clearly is not a krama raga as Swaras are not in an order. Therefore it is called Vakra raga

Can you brief me about Sunadavinodini. Doesn't it come under major ranges...?
Sunadavinodini is a janya raga(child raga) of melakarta raga 65, Meccha Kalyani. So it is not a part of any chakra. It’s parent is a part of Chakra 11.

@@GitanjaliAcademyNJ ok maam. Thank you so much. 🙂
@@GitanjaliAcademyNJ
Also from Mecha kalyani. 65th raga from Rudra (11) Chakra
What is R1,R2 and R3 according to C scale....
When referring to Scale C, we start marking keys starting the key C. So S is C, the subsequent three keys are R1,R2,R3.
ruclips.net/video/ioJac-x_pWg/видео.html
Please refer to this video. Watch all three parts to understand classification of Swaras in Carnatic Music
There can be many more Mela scales having both Madhyamams which is there by nature but not in traditional syllabus ☺️
They do not count as melakarthas since they do not meet the definition of a melakarta raga
@@GitanjaliAcademyNJ That's why I mentioned by nature there is possibility but not as per traditional syllabus ☺️
