A raag is capable of touching the heart with feelings like joy, sorrow, detachment (as selina ji said before). Music (Raag) is based on sound (swar - notes) and a combination of notes produce distinct musical effects. Therefore, when Gurbani is complemented with raag (music) and bound by ghar (beat), the resulting effect on mind and body can become the catalyst for change. Upon studying the structure of Guru Granth Sahib it can be seen that Shabads relating to common themes are generally placed under each raag. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'"><span style="color: #000000">Common Themes of Shabads</span></span></strong><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'"> placed under Raags of Guru Granth Sahib</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'">1.
