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.
The disciple must have great power of endurance. Bear all evil and misery without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance, and that you must acquire.
-Swami Vivekananda
