Ravi Shankar - Morning Raga-

From the album Three Ragas

[kartk]

I once met pandit Ravi shankar in bangalore during 2004 while he was walking in a hotel campus. He spoke with me for a few minutes, though my music knowledge was quite limited. He invited me to his concert, for which he was in the city. Very precious moment...

I live in Kolkata along with my father. He has been very unwell for the last 4 days. I have no other family left. Death has been a recurring pattern in my life. Suddenly came across this music and Ravi Shankar. I am lying down beside baba and making us listen to this.
I have always been patient and strong with myself to deal with difficult situations. But absence can be such a hollow space. It resonates in the inner surface of your head. Sometimes self love and care isn't enough. Sometimes anxiety requires someone else or something else from outside to touch you, to caress you. This music is doing the same to me. I have tears flowing out like pain flowing out like a river into a distant land. I felt like sharing this after reading some of the other posts. It is so important to remain and continue being human despite its obvious pains and worries.

My 90 year father loves Ravi Shankar's music. I listened to this morning raga this morning on the way to work instead of the news. I need a big break from the news of this insane and difficult world.

I met my wife when Ravishankar came to Belgium in 1967. We are happily married for 55 years

I've been a huge fan of Norah for 25 years but only recently learned this legend was her father.

I got to see Ravi and George Harrison in concert, around 1976. I remember sitting in my chair after the show was over, alone, stoned and stood up by the girl I had invited. The audience was almost gone, a security guard was approaching and I was so relaxed I didn't care. I thanked him for his concern and we chatted for a few minutes as simply two regular people that just had a shared exoerience at a great musical event.
Ravi Shankar was hypnotic, and that other guy that played that night wasn't too shabby either! One of the best dates I've ever had!

If this isn't the most beautiful thing I've ever heard... between Chopin's piano and Shankar's sitar I am at total peace.

It resonates within us because the musician does not play. He "let`s it play". He passes on the inspiration received, without intention. Its coming from the higher self, to which we are all connected. Thats why it touches our soul. Just let it in and go with the flow. Thinking destroys it all. Just be. Just be. Just be . . . .

[PaulMann]

I just listened again, and briefly became able to believe that there can be life in peaceful harmony, free from the deranged noise of those clamouring to ruin the world.

TRANQUILITY AND PEACE ARE DEFINED HERE!!!!TRUE ABODE OF CALM AND QUIET EVEN SERENE AMBIENCE IS HERE....RIGHT HERE IN THIS MUSIC...One could be sustained not merely for the morning...yes, for the whole

Indian classical music is a colossally impressive cultural accomplishment. :)

[jamesjamerson]

The capacity that this music has to still the mind is awesome. Indian raga is certainly one of the great achievements of humanity.

It's been a difficult week. This morning did not get off to a great start either. But hearing this genius perform is a small attempt to improve the day.

I love Ravi Shankar. He believed in a natural high, in people, and in higher consciousness.

my grandfather used to tell stories of him playing with Ravi shankar ji. they were childhood friends. my grandfather was not so priviledged to follow his passion of art and had to give up his dream of painting to meet survival and feed family. but he use to say he was always amazed by Ravi jis sitar practise. he did't spent much years with him as he has to move out to other city for work at an early age but whatever he remembers is gem for us. i'm very sad because of the loss of my grandfather last month, each of his memory of sharing stories with us will always live with us. it was one of such memory which bring me to this musical play video. i'm very proud of my grandfather and will always be ]. thank you GOD for everything.

Like many posting I am listening because I am sad. Lost my grandma a week and a half ago and I keep crying because things frequently remind me of her. My heart is both filled with love for my grandma and broken because I miss her. I hope I see her again one day way when I pass and we look for cardinals together in the afterlife. It kills me I’ll never get to see her again. She was a wonderful woman.

Bon Voyage Grandma Chris!

Blessings of Saraswati. Whole realm inside us but we get so busy out there that we miss to listen to the voice inside us till we come across something like this which pauses moments for us. Dive within yourself which each breath to your inner core and you will realise what’s really important for you.

This has been in my favourites list since the Decca album was released in 1962(?) which I still have.
Heard him play in the basement folk club at the Angel in Islington 1966, magic!

I was blessed one fine morning after making afghan coffee all night for passing strangers along a foot path as a gift as to enable them to make it home quickly and safely to their loved ones. Finally back sore and tongue and eyes laced with dust as the morning broke, fog still heavy in long grass, catching the rays of the mornings first light. The swaying dress illuminated as the breeze blew through it giving it a most heavenly appearance at the rivers edge. Like a bolt lightning but in sound, a sitar breaks the silence. Feelings welled up inside…like who would dare break this moment of Gods divinity. As it kept playing the tablas followed and it was this masterpiece being played. Having an existential crisis I began searching almost frantically and upon laying my crusted eyes on the source sat the master himself and someone who I came to know as Mickey Hart. I can only say my life was changed from that moment on as a deep loving stillness took residence of my soul as I sat for hours transfixed on Gods blessing and some 30 years later still remains. In all walks I always remain utterly devoted. May All Beings Be Happy and Free. Thank You Ravi, Mickey and most importantly God and fellow travelers upon this earth Namaste’.
