New Delhi . Music is not just a means of entertainment, but it is a deep language that touches emotions, which directly affects the heart and mind. Many times it happens that after listening to an old song, a strange sadness or old memories get refreshed in the mind. This happens because there is a special raga hidden behind every tune, which affects our mood and emotions. Music composers of old understood very well that what kind of emotion can be created with which raga, and that is why the songs composed by them are still alive in the hearts of people.

Ragas have special importance in Indian classical music and one of these very emotional ragas is Shivaranjani. This raga is often used to express emotions like pain, separation, love and devotion. Its most special thing is that only five notes are used in it, due to which its tune, despite being simple, becomes very deep and effective. Due to the soft notes, there is a mixture of sweetness and sadness in it, which touches the heart of the listener deeply. This is why songs based on this raga often make people emotional.

There are many evergreen songs based on this raga which are as popular even today as they were in their time. When one listens to a song like “Mere Naina Sawan Bhadon”, the yearning and pain hidden in it directly touches the heart. The tune and voice of this song together create an atmosphere which fills the mind with slight sadness. Similarly, when you listen to “Jaane Kahan Gaye Those Days”, the memories of the past and the feeling of lost moments deepen, due to which the mind becomes emotional.

“Baharon Phool Barsao” may be considered a celebratory and happy song, but its tune also has a glimpse of Raga Shivranjani, which gives it a different depth. Whereas in “Awaaz deke humne tum bulao” there is such a combination of love and separation which is felt deep within the listener. This emotional series also includes songs like “Dil Ke Jharokhe Mein Tujhko Baithakar” and “Tere Mere Beech Mein Kaisa Hai Yeh Bandhan Anjaana”, in which the pain hidden with love can be clearly felt.

Apart from this, “Kahin Deep Jale Kahin Dil” is also one such song, in which the simplicity of music and depth of emotions together create a unique effect. The special thing about all these songs is that they are not just to be heard, but to be felt. This is the reason why even today it is as fresh in the hearts of people as it was decades ago.

Overall, these songs based on Raga Shivranjani are not just music, but an emotional journey, which sometimes takes every listener to old memories and sometimes makes them face unknown pain.
