  Gurbani Raags : SearchGurbani.com
Raag, in the Sanskrit dictionary, is defined as "the act of coloring or dyeing" (the mind in this context) and "any feeling or passion especially love, affection, sympathy, vehement desire, interest, joy, or delight".
A recital explores a raag in an non-metered form and/or within the confines of a cyclical rhythmic structure, using intricate ornamentation of notes.
First the raag is introduced with a note or group of notes, and then the improvisation progresses to a more melodically and rhythmically complex form.

  About North Indian Music.
Observance of these rules during the performance of a raag does not aspire to be purely a technical or intellectual exercise, but also to evoke the rasa or bhava (the experience, mood, emotion, or feeling) of the raag in both the artist and the listener.
The raag is gradually revealed to the listener in a form of improvisation called the alap (literally introduction) - a meditative exploration of the raag.
The melodic features of the raag are exposed in an unmetered form, elaborately and systematically, gently unveiling the beauty of the raag's scale, its definitive phrases, as well as notes and their transition.

Raag or Raga or Raaga is not just a combination of swars but its also a melody that has been associated with the swars.
There are in all 12 swars komal and teevra and according to the basic rules of a raag we have to have minimum of 5 swars in the aaroha and avroha.
Typically a raag has an aaroha (ascent), avroha (descent), pakad (note combinations), vaadi (main swar), samvaadi (second to main swar), jaati, bhaav etc. However there are certain raags where only chalan is defined, with the chalan, one can create multiple aaroha and avrohas and hence the aaroha and avrohas are not defined.

 RAAG Server: Welcome
Real algebraic and analytic geometry (RAAG) studies geometrical objects arising in connection with the mathematical modelling of the "real world", i.e., the mathematical description of physical objects as well as of natural and man-made processes in science and technology.
RAAG helps to achieve a deeper understanding both of the natural world we live in and of the technological world we are shaping to an ever increasing extent.
Thus it is impossible to classify RAAG either as pure mathematics or as applied mathematics – it is a combination of both.

 Musical Framework of Guru Granth Sahib
Their limitations to experiment within the prescribed vastness of Guru Granth Sahib is camouflaged in the excuse that the Sangat does not prefer to listen to Keertan in Raags as prescribed by the Gurus and thus it is easier to convey the message of Gurbani in catchy tunes.
Every raag is capable of touching the heart with feelings like joy, sorrow, detachment, etc. Upon studying the structure of Guru Granth Sahib it can be seen that Shabads relating to common themes are generally placed under each raag.
There are some morning raags, evening raags, afternoon raags, etc. The timings of raags also complement the changes in human moods and heart during a twenty-four hour time cycle.
