The Social and Historical Values of Ragas and Raginis Vol. 1
Swami Prajnanananda
Indian music is spiritual and divine in character. The ragas and raginis are mainly used to please Gods and Goddesses and ask for their blessings. In this book are described two raginis, Kanada and Todi, with their intricate arrangements of notations.
When we come to nonattachment, then we can understand the marvelous mystery of the universe: how it is intense activity and at the same time intense peace, how it is work every moment and rest every moment.
-Swami Vivekananda
