Some Dhrupad singers have said that it is during the aalaap, jod, and jhaala sections that the real nature of the Raaga is revealed. That is when the rasa is fully expressed -- rasaabhivyakti takes place and the listener is filled with the raaga's main rasa. When rhythm comes in the rasa-vyan^jana is reduced. Definitely, taans are entertaining and contain the rasa of adbhuta and even haasya. But to feel and absorv the deep character of the raag, the first three sections are the best. To clarify, I am just repeating what I have read /heard from master musicians.

Truly meditative of Vishnu's wisdom and Krishna's charming flute.

[@pratapbhattacharya7970]

Hindustani classical music is divine and the musicians like Hair jee brings us to the heaven and we feel realise the spiritualism.

[@ramamoorthyh]

"Kerwani" is taken from Carnatic music to Hindustani. It is a complete scale with all seven notes in ascending and descending. Taking C as tonic Sa, the Carnatic scale is having C, D, D#, F, G, G#, B in ascending (descending it has same notes in descending order)

[@sunitakharate8879]

Best flute I have ever heard

[@sridharaprasad7694]

I cry every time i listen to this.May be Shahjan love was so deep as this piece from Harishji...i cried when i am not drunk also:)

[@anilkubair1010]

Thank u very much for sharing such a rare raga played by a maestro who takes away all music listeners to different world. Very proud & great to have such a musician with us.

[@sAmavEdapriya]

A great E-Minor janaka/parental rAga! Also, sounds great in Chaurasia's flute!

[@TablaUK]

This is transcendental in its finest and purest forms. Leave these plains for the abode where it's divine beyond words.

[@ustada4809]

[@johnwilliams2219]

Beautiful... Deep... Invokes the Spirit of God for me. Causes me to sit still, stop thinking, and soak in the Love of God. To know, effortlessly, the unknowable. Thank you.

[@TablaUK]

John Williams Beautifully said. Couldn't have spoken wiser words myself.

SO VERY BEAUTIFUL A RAAGA OF KARNATAKA ORIGIN - MEANING MAATAA SARASWATEE - ; PLAYED SO VERY BEAUTIFULLY TOO. (SA, SHUDDHA-RE, KOMAL-GA; SHUDDHA-MA; PA; KOMAL-DHA; SHUDDHA-NI; THE DESCENDING ALSO USES THE SAME NOTES. IT IS A HARMONIC MINOR SCALE).

[@anillpillai]

Carnatic doesn't mean Karnataka....Karna.. as in ear in Sanskrit ...that which is sweet to the ears... is what it indicates.. Just pointing out that is all

[@mrwindsreeds152]

@@anillpillai but carnatic music is believed to have originated from karnataka...as pundara dasa is considered to be the father of carnatic music ...a.k.a karnataka Sangeeta pitamaha

[@nilkanthdeshpande6049]

How can I express gratitude to you Sir. Where are jor,jhala,vilambit and drut.Please upload remaining part and oblige

[@rliesky56]

Nilkanth Deshpande Hi The picture you see is the original cover of the CD called " Meditative Romance " wich starts with this Alap of Kerwani, followed by track nr. 2 -Raga Des and nr.3-a Folk Indian tune. So there´s no further development of Raga Kerwani on this recording, unfortunately !

[@MultiDipal]

there r jod and jhala along with alap in this track.

[@sinhasuman1944]

This is enough to make us realize impermanance

[@sandipankarmakar]

In description of the raga you have written something wrong...it should be Ascending: S R g m P d N S and Descending S N d P m g R S...Correct me if I am wrong...

[@anillpillai]

You are right

[@damioune]

first

[@maxmaxim8833]

Hi its a Wonderful piece... I just wonder about the Title as Kerwani. Is it the same raga as Kirwani from Kirwani Thaat ? Can any one just leave a little comment on it.. Thanks Massimiliano

[@nilkanthdeshpande6049]

Max Maxim Yes It is kirwani only

[@DKMKartha108]

Here you can find a few comments from a Sarod player on the raag, which is similar, by the way, to the western scale Harmonic Minor: sarod.com.au/raga-kirwani/

[@anillpillai]

This is Keera vani.. Keera is sanskkrit for parrot Vani is the sound Thaats are from hindustani music There is no Kirvani thaat.. Regards AP
