The Legacy Notes
Raag Bageshri is a raag that is hundreds of years old. It depicts both types of shringaras, namely Virah and Karuna. It is said to have been first sung by Miyan Tansen in the court of Emperor Akbar.
Presenting my next dialogue with my grandfather, based on one of Sant Dadu Dayal's compositions, “Mere man bhaiya, ram kaho re.”
The Composition
A conversation on Raag Bageshri
मेरे मन भैया राम कहो रे,
राम नाम मोहि सहज सुनावै,
उनहीं चरण मन लीन रहो रे ॥
राम नाम ले सँत सुहावे,
कोई कहै सब शीश सहो रे ।
वाही सौं मन जोरे राखो,
नीके राशि लिये निबहो रे ॥१॥
कहत सुनत तेरो कछू न जावै,
पापन१ छेदन सोइ लहो रे ।
दादू रे जन हरि गुण भावो,
कालहि जालहि फेरि दहो रे ॥२॥
