Hey everybody! This video is an interpretation by me...it shares my opinions. Each raag could represent different moods and each person could experience a different feeling...there's no hard and fast rule :) Hope you enjoy this video! Cheers
Hi Anuja! I love your videos, I love traditional Indian music and you made me understand and realize things about this music I never knew existed. Thank you.
On a different matter, the Facebook link you provided appears to be broken or something of that nature. It does not work when I click on it. You may want to copy/paste it again. This one here looks the same but it does connect with your FB page: facebook.com/anujakamatofficial/ Or, instead of "Facebook page link" reduce that to just "Facebook:". The actual link is not complete.
Dear Anuja, I am sure, you have blessings of Ma Saraswati. You are proud of not only your parents but all music lovers. I am famished to have more of classic from you. God bless you dear.
This is such a gem of a video. Often times ordinary people cannot appreciate classical music because the renowned singers don't make any effort to reach ordinary listeners like me. The biggest problem is lyrics are subpar and more often than not you cannot even make out the words when they are singing. I can only appreciate so much of their layakari and alaps with my untrained ear. If they were to explain the moods of each raaga they are singing and demonstrate it using well known songs it will go long way in attracting young people towards classical music. The young generations still listens to bollywood classics from 50s/60s many of which have strong classical base. So why not present those songs in a classical concert instead of a thumri or tarana. That's why I always liked instrumental classic music but not vocal. Only after I found your channel I got to understand basics of classical music and now I have started enjoying vocal as well. Honestly without your channel it would have never happened. Thank You! Seriously Anuja you are "Murti lahan pan kirti mahan". (For non-marathi readers the phrase literally means "your achievements are way ahead of your age". Please keep learning and sharing. We all have great expectations from you.
Bang on. I have felt the same. While I won't say that I have great command on the language but the fact that these singers paid no attention to pronounce the words in an understandable way makes me feel sad. Their reach got reduced only because of this simple yet a profound flaw.
समझ से बाहर है कि क्या कहूँ ..... बस आशीर्वाद देता हूँ बेटा ... ऐसे ही, लोगों में ललित कला, संगीत के लिए जागरुकता बढ़ाते रहो, आम जनता को कलाओं की ओर उन्मुख करना और आम लोगों को ललित कलाओं की ओर मोड़ना भी एक तरेह से देश सेवा है, जिओ बेटा .....
Please don't end.. You have created waves of emotions in my 80 year old body and mind of deep philosophical thoughts.. How music can change a mind is best demonstrated by this single episode you have presented...
Dear beautiful classical teacher ❤, your teaching and explanation skills are second to none and you are the finest a student could learn from!!! I love you. Xxxx
आप जैसी बहुमुखी, समर्पित युवा-प्रतिभाएं,यदि शास्त्रीय-संगीत में रूचि ले रही हैं, तो यह भविष्य के लिए एक शुभ संकेत है। इस रोचक प्रस्तुतिकरण के लिए साधुवाद ! शुभकामनाएं !
Psyche1954 Every shades of music should be welcomed. Classical music will always be there and one should not fear its demise. A dynamic multicultural society like ours will have many colors and that’s the beauty our country. Inclusiveness is our strength and it should be promoted. Narrow mindedness will stagnate our culture.
Anuja you by far are one of the most brilliantly expressive singer I have ever seen. Your body language encapsulates the soul and essence of a Raag just as much as your vocal chords do. Your eyes too trodd upon the intervalic path of a scale just as much as your voice do. I bet you could just sit back in silence and I'll know it by the smile that its Bihag or by the restless motion of your eyes that its sohni. The passivity of your shoulders when its Bhervi. Khuda apko aur ap k ustaad ko khush aur salamat rakhay. Aameen.
Thank you for the subtitles so I can follow along! I love hearing you teach about raags and their beautiful subtleties! I'm a fantasy writer, and I'm trying to learn more about Indian music for a musician character I'm building, so this was incredibly helpful!
@@preetikushwa7032 Aww, thank you for the excitement! It's not available at the moment, but when it is (maybe a few years, haha), I'll post a link here!
And I hope your character will give credit for his knowledge and skill to Indian Classical music? We are so sick of appropriation and the separation of the spiritual aspect of all knowledge so appropriated. Knowledge should be shared but also given credit where credit is due. Just saying.
@@andalaiyar4457 I'm so sorry, I bet it gets very old seeing it misrepresented! I will say that my book is a fantasy novel set in the early 1400s in a world I'm creating, so there is no actual India, though the place where the character lives is supposed to be an analog for India. But I'm trying to be as culturally sensitive about the topics I don't know as much about, as I learn about different countries in their own "medieval times" all over the world! And if I ever write about where my inspiration comes from, I will definitely give credit, including for this! It's such a beautiful tradition and I want to make sure I respect it! As I haven't gotten to that book in the story yet, I haven't thought too deeply about it, but running it by an Indian person who actually knows about raags would be a good idea!
Beautiful!!!! I have never heard anybody in 45 years of my life explain music with such clarity , passion and simplicity. You are a true gem. Wish you lots of success and happiness. Saraswati Devi must have blessed and gifted you with not only a divine voice but also a fantastic Teacher.
Mostly people like and interested classicle but they don't know the exact definition of ragas so it's a very good and beautiful videos shared by anuja, such a infomerative videos thanks and best wishes anuja
Anuja kamat, your face is so friendly, beautiful and expressive... I love to watch you teach and hear your excellent command of melody, depicting emotion and passion so precisely even though I have no idea what you are saying. And though I am not a student of music, I am delighted and impressed with your nuance in notes that are not used in most western music. I sing, create lyrics and play freestyle, impromptu melodies on the guitar but I can't read music so it is only by ear. I would feel it a pleasing experience and accomplishment to be able to control my voice even a fraction as well as you. Thank you for your videos.
loved to read your comment. briefly what she is doing here is she is adapting one song (jhanak jhanak tore baje payaliya - jingle jingle your payals (the ornament women wear on ankles) are sounding) to many differnt compositions (ragas) to show how the exact same words in a differnt tune will change the mood of the song!! and yes the original is on youtube which is sung by a classical male singer if you want to listen the high notes - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0qpIQygF-VQ.html
Who the hell can dislike this video? May be some failed competitor !! You have the gift of God in your voice and deep understanding of Hindustani music. Remain blessed.

राग को बहुत ही सुन्दरता से समझाया।युवाओं का भारतीय शास्त्रीय संगीत में इतनी गंभीरता से रुचि लेते देख कर लगा कि हमारे शास्त्रीय संगीत का भविष्य उज्वल है।कुमारी अनुजा कामथ का आभार।
Wow , how easily you sung a single song in different raags. Anuja because of you & other such artist, Indian Classical Music is Alive Today . We proud of you
Anuja Kamat is really a great Artist! She will surely make even a lay person fall in love with Classical Music!! GOD bless Anuja Kamat!!! -- M.B. Jayaram, Chennai
The wonderful talent in musicianship and performance here by Srimati Kamat has revealed the raag that resonate with my very soul, Bihag, Yaman and Nand Kalyan. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Actually they came to this clip by mistake and didn't like it. Maybe they are idiots too who don't understand indian classical music. These are of digital.com era
Mam, you leave no stone unturned in your expositions towards appreciation of an otherwise esoteric genre. From your attire, backdrop to appropriatness of language not to mention perfectly scripted expositions everything is near perfect. Your services are truly sincere
Anuja, you are a natural teacher! How naturally you have linked music and philosophy! Indian music is in fact a refined expression of the philosophy of life , as experienced and interpreted through the rasas!
अगर मैं डायरेक्टर/प्रोड्यूसर होता तो म्यूजिक डायरेक्टर तो आप होती ही ..साथ ही आप ही फ़िल्म की हीरोइन भी होती .. आप के एक्सप्रेशन कमाल के है और म्यूजिक की समझ पे कोई शक नही आपके गुरु जी को प्रणाम 🙏🏻
Bahut sunder, maine bhi Gandharva Sangeet Mahavidyalaya se 5-6 saal sangeet sikha tha par jeevan ke utar chadaav aur sangharsh me Sangeet kahan kho gaya,pata hi nahi chala, abhi bhi main ek sava mahine se bimar padi hui hun,aise me meri bhanji ne mujhe ye video bheji ki Mausi aap ye video dekho aapko pasand aayegi,...sach tumhari surili awaaz aur raagon ka madhur vishleshan sun kar bahut achchha laga aur man ko bada sukun mila, thank you Anubha 🙏🙏
We think of comparing someone to a cuckoo as an insult. But since you gave this as a compliment I looked it up. I understand now how it's actually a complement.
Anuja please make more videos. I have no idea what you are saying but trust me your in depth knowledge of Indian classical music is too good to listen. You have melodious voice. Please don't stop making videos. All my family enjoy your videos. God bless you!
Beta you have such an amazing indepth knowledge, and above all the way you express is superb. Peopl like me can be termed as leyman but it creates immense intrest to listen each every bit of your video. God bless you little teacher....
Wowww 🌻. We Salute YOU 🌺. Not blood, but Music 🏵️ runs in your veins.... How comfortably you select most appropriate words and how quickly and easily you Translate it in another language. This is another of your Great Quality 🏵️. You are " the Goddess of Music''.🙏
Anuja, I have never come across anyone who can present Indian classical music in such clear and interesting way. You are best in the business and in class by yourself.Keep up the good work. You are doing a great service to Indian classical music lovers.
Anuja I was never able to really relate feelings with raags though I learned classical vocal for 10 long years. I have started again after a break of 6 years to sit with my harmonium to go back to what I learnt, your videos has helped a lot to revise as well as clarify things my teacher never explained properly. I will try from now onwards to try to feel the rasas and bhaavs encapsulated in the rags. I resented classical greatly because I think no one made me understand the beauty of it. Thank you so much, your passion and love for classical indian music is palpable in your expressions, voice and the immense knowledge that you carry within yourself.
I just started Classical Hindustani lessons, I LOVE IT! Your videos are so helpful! I am just leaning the 10 Thaats. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS!!!! YOU are wonderful!
God bless you for your singing and the complete moods/explanations of Hindustani raags. I have shared all your videos with my musical family & friends here in New York. Love you and please keep them coming ❤️🕉❤️
You are too excellent ! Thank you a lot for the lucid elaborations. Those who don't like song will start loving song after listening your lessons! Thank you once again!
a thousand thank you for the subtitles Anuja. You are rendering immense service. I am french and a lover of Indian classical music especially Hindustani (Khayal is my favorite). I study different types and genres and thanks to you I have understood many concepts, plus it helps me to understand Hindi which I am learning. God bless you, thank you so much.
Having lived abroad for 35 years, I have come to realize the superiority of Hindu consciousness. Indian classical music based on ragas is just one example to support my claim. Thank you Miss Kamat for expressing emotions of a popular song in multiple ways.
Yes Sunil ..I understand your pain of living abroad and introspection brought about by our classical music in you.You have rightly expressed.Hope you make your journey back to your soul through our music.Thats the beauty of our music.
अनुजा जी मी आपले गाणे फार आवडीने ऐकतो मला तुमचे व्हिडिओ खूप आवडतात शास्त्रीय संगीत आणि चित्रपट संगीत या दोन्हींचा संबंध आपण खूप छान समजावून सांगत आहात खूप छान माहिती ज्ञान आणि शिकवणं आपणाकडून सर्वांना मिळते .......आपणास या बद्दल खूप खूप शुभेच्छा व धन्यवाद ........आपणास वैकतिक संवाद करण्याची इच्छा आहे🙏👍👌💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Anu, you are great. I mentioned other places too, no one be able to explain on RU-vid the Raga Chalan the way you explain and sing too in such a Madhur and Melodious voice. We all, who have subscribed to your Blog, love and adore you. God Bless You. Anuja. Thanks for sharing such a Wonderful presentation to the Music lovers.
I am not pro Hindustani classical but listen to his gonre and try to understand. Great fan of you and like your all videos. You very well explain when you say 'ye shudha Ma hai'. This gives very good reference of swar. I listen to Bhairavi quite often and try understand the mood of bhairavi but didn't get it at all. But today when I listen to your explanation I draw a picture like 'now the lover has become bairagi and he not attached to his lover but still he is praising his lover by not attaching to her'. So only now I understood the mood of Bhairavi. Hats off to your explanation.
I am completely new in this world ...an absolute naive...but I must appreciate and acknowledge your knowledge / studies of music... precisely the Raagas...👍👍 Keep up the good work...this will help to retain our ancient treasures of Hindustani Music/ Raagas...and the mental peace,joy it brings with it....👍👍
This is so womderfuly done! Full power! The expressions translate so beautifully to the ras of the raag. Just would have wished to see raag bairagi instead of bhairavi for the last instance.
Raag bairagi doesn't contain komal gandhar and komal dhaibat....but these soft and painful notes represent the 'bairagi' mood better I think, so Bhairavi is best for the situation according to me.
Raags so lucidily explained for layman like me who loves music but doesn't have knowledge of classical music. Kudos.👍👍👍 One question: i try to play some song on various mobile phone keyboard apps but not able to do so without knowing the notes. Can you explain some trick for playing songs on keyboard apps for noobs like us, if it is at all possible?
U will have to practice basic musical exercise and train ur EAR ( most important )... To play any song on ur own requires " ear training " which comes only by practice and gradually.. ( no shortcut , except to get notation directly ) All utube videos which claim for 1 day or 1 week are fake ! Good luck
Definitely you can play You just have to practice through trial and error method just pick any song try to find it's notes by hitting any two notes until you find similar one then you will automatically find all the notes I also faced same difficulty earlier I can't play without searching the notes now i can find any song's notes just within 2-3 miniutes and that too by trial and error method main difficulty is the starting notes after that you can play in flow it automatically comes in mind.
@@rythmx8339 definitely it's the most important step when we listen to all the notes again and again it automatically stores in our mind then we can easily find them in any song
This video reminds me of hanging out with my high school friend Niraj and his family back in the 90s, and how their Gujarati was sprinkled with little bits of English. I loved listening to their conversations... and the exotic (to an Ohio teenager) snacks his mom kept giving me! :-D
Darbari because Tansen was bounded by the Akbar's court, so was expressing Royal pain Bhairavi has two moods -Romance and Devotion Very nice explanations all ragas, thanks once again...
Great video and exposition ….. 👏👏👏….Not many would know that decades ago Vividh Bharti on AIR used to air this awesome program called Sangeet Sarita, 7.30a to 7.50a, daily on weekdays that used to EXACTLY talk about such beautiful comparisons - start with a classical raga topic and sample by some famous classical singer, describe key points of that raaga and its profile and then end on a “light” note showcasing a popular film tune based on that classical raaga and how that particular music composer had creatively adopted that raaga - as a gentle encouragement for Hindi film music lovers to start exploring the infinite ocean of classical music of which film music is ultimately a (popular)sub-genre. Great video that brought back indelible delightful memories of those times …..and very well showcased how Music and Mood are fundamentally intertwined. (and talking of AIR a fond shoutout to Ameen Sayani the Golden Voice of AIR and Geetmala who passed away last week in his 90s………thank you sir and RIP, you will never be forgotten… 🙏🙏🙏)
There are many thousands of people singing and Presenting classical music You r a good musician and narrator ,which is a very important quality for teaching After Shri Amin Sayaani I enjoyed another narrartor who can talk on a Perticular note Conversation on a note is rare quality God bless you
Not only you have a beautiful voice but you're a very good and articulate teacher. Thank you for this video (and for the subtitles too!). I've just found your channel and I subscribed. I'm from Canada and I've always been interested in Carnatic and Indian music in general. It deeply touches my hearth. Your video makes me want to discover more ragas. I love raga Bhairavi :)
Thank you so much Anujaji. I like the way you are sharing your deep knowledge of various Indian raagas and how they are used in our Indian hindi films. You are a great teacher and we love your presentation very much. God bless you !
Hi, Anuja. I am impressed with your deep knowledge, and a simple way of explaining. To my knowledge you are the first person to do this, so Congratulations. I live in England and had western style lessons on piano for over 5 years, back in 1980s, but always believed that to play any Hindustani music, knowledge of Raaga is essential. God Bless you.
Anuja, You are so good at explaining, hats off to you. My friends also love your presentations. As always, looking forward to your next video. Keep up the good work.
This was really fun to learn! I’m very new to understanding Raagas, and this was a really helpful side-by-side comparison. One thing that peaked my curiosity: you mentioned about how different Raagas evoke different moods, hence how you can sing the same words with a different raag. Is there more of a connection between the words and the chosen raag (like when rewriting Mary had a little lamb from major to minor, the rhythm and melodic contour is consciously maintained, and only lowering the third when it’s sung) or is it more like a theme/variations, where the melodies can be closely or loosely correlated? Great video!
. The way you teach induces curiosity in the listener and binds then to stick to the end and want to know more. You re so soft spoken . When a person learns indian classical music and dance it really reflects in their voice and personality as i've observed . You are doing a great job spreading such valuable knowledge which is must for every indian to know and take pride in their rich culture. May these videos reach out to millions ‼️👌
Beautifully, Musically, Articulative Anuja Kamat has instantly found her place in the hearts of thousands of music-lovers, particularly of Indian Classical Music .. I have always thought, and still believe, that this Indian Music only could be the common thread that bring the diverse, multi-racial, multi-linguistic, multi-polar 7 Billion population and living species of today's endangered world to bring about a Happy, Healthy, Human-race of our lively planet 'Dharti-maata'.. :-) CONGRATULATIONS Anuja on your noblest initiative.. :-)
You don't only expess the situation in words but also able to define the raags in their moods properly. Many people don't learn music but keep the ability of recognition the raag they love to hear and when you easily show that particular space, they feel proud of you 👏
माता.., आप संगीत विदूषी है...,, आपका कंठ भी कोकिला की नांई है... सुमधुर .....और पवित्र , मृदु मुस्कुराहट...., ईश्वर करे यश पायें...किंतु सावधान करना मेरा कर्तव्य है.. , आज के संगीत प्रेमी यही मान रहे हैं कि भारतीय संगीत मुल्लों ने आभूषित किया है.।।।।मेरा मानना है कि.... अगर ये न होते तो आज षड्ज से लेकर निषाद तक केवलमे्व शुद्ध प्रणवाक्षर होता जो आज की आपाधापी से त्रस्त जीवन को छाया देता।..
