If You liberate me after I am dead, no one will know that I am liberated.

You are called kind and compassionate; the power of Your Arm is absolutely unrivalled.

The Lord turned the temple around to face Naam Dayv; He turned His back on the Brahmins. ||3||2||

Although Bhairavi is a major league Raga, it stands apart from other Ragas of like stature in one important way: its use of all 12 swaras, a signal feature of the Bhairavi praxis.

Explanations of Raag Tilang:
This exceedingly sweet ("karNapriya") raga is attained to by dropping R and D from Raga Khamaj. The surviving auDav contour assumes the following form: S G M P N S"::S" n P M G SBut a mere scale does not a raga make.
Tilang's highlights are summarized below: G M P n P M G, S G M P N S" n P G M GNotice how avarohi movement drops M and embraces P-G in the second instance.
A momentary hint of Bihag through G M P N is eradicated by subsequent construction.
G M P n P N S", P N S" G" S" N S"R"NS" n P G M G
The rishab is verboten in textbook Tilang but it is common practice to deploy it in the tAra saptak.

Let self-control be the furnace, and patience the goldsmith.
Let understanding be the anvil, and religion wisdom the tools.
Fear of God the bellows; fan the flames of your body's inner heat.
In the crucible of love, melt the Amrit Nectar of the Naam,
Forge the Shabad in the True mint.
Whoever is showered with His Grace, karma of their actions excel.
O Nanak, the Merciful Lord’s Glance uplifts and rescues them. ||38|

Raag Darbari Kanhara

Explanation :
http://www.sawf.org/audio/kanada/jha_darbarispeak.ram

Legend assigns to Tansen credit for giving the ancient Kanada the new interpretation which we today associate with Darbari.
It is a monumental rAga, unmatched in Hindustani music for its gravitas, difficult for its swara-lagAv, and profound for its emotional impact on both the innocent and the illuminati alike.
