The raga is not the raga "we" sing eg how did kabir ji learn raag... he did not from any music teacher, so all these raags that are in the bani are "holaraa".
Have you ever wondered that there is no sagum for these raags.....
In the anand sahib these raags come to you when you reach these spiritual stages "raag rathan parvar paria sahbad gavan aheha" which raags is this that mala 3 is talking about???

The message "shabad" is more effective when sang with instruments ,then just read out alone, but the effect should be that the "mun" does naam abass, which is the ONLY thing that goes with us.
