A bandish that I liked in Raag Gaud Malhar- Jhuki aayi badariya sawan ki

बंदिश - राग - गौढ मल्हार.
ताल - तीनताल


झुकी आई बदरिया सावन की

सावन की मन भावन की ||०||

---

सावन में  उमगे मन अपना

छान्ड चले परदेस पियरवा

सुध ना रही घर आवन् की ||१||


Raag Gaud Malhar- Jhuki aayi badariya sawan ki

Meaning - The dark clouds are looming low in monsoon. A monsoon that I love with all my heart.
Monsoon helps us find our soul and my beloved is about to leave me and go to foreign lands.
I shed my sense to come back home.

Learning Raag Bhairav - a soothing morning raga

I'm learning Raag Bhairav these days. 

It is a morning raga with komal re and komal dha and all other swaras shudha. This raga has andolit Dha swar. e.g. 'dha dha Pa Ma Pa Ga'. 

I am enjoying the songs in this raga. The Chhota Khayal being taught to me on this is - 'Guru ek data vishwavidhata' in Tritaal/Teental.  The Bada khayal being taught is 'Baalamva More Sainya', in Tritaal/Teentaal.

Known hindi film songs on Raag Bhairav are 
  • Jaago mohan pyare
  • Mohe bhool gaye Sanwariya
  • Sun ri pawan
  • Aai Malik tere bande hum 

Currently we are preparing for a in-house program of our class members dedicated to our guru. so we are also learning a group song 'Guru ne dila dyana rupi vasa'
