Bhairav is known to be a very powerful and complete raaga. Why is it called powerful? what do we mean by power here and what is completeness. Well, power here is not symbolic to one we come across in rock and metal music( literally powerful) but the power to express emotions more accurately. It is complete not only because of 7 notes in ascending and descending order, but because of the liberty to include lot of variations while singing or playing. Devotion is the mood associated with raag Bhirav and compositions like "jago mohan pyare" complement this really well. My guruji has been teaching me this raaga since we started, but still he comes up with completely different ways to sing this every next class. It displays the enormous power of human brain to produce creative and unique data.
Technically it is just komal notes in ascending and descending except ga and ni(gandharva and nishad) which are shudh, but these combinations of notes have a mystical power of producing amazingly accurate emotions. Even for displaying anger or strength in hindustani music you do not need to scream hard or show vocal intensity , permutating and combining notes could very well express this. Well I can not express this in words and neither Iam so religious but I really feel conected to the divine whenever I experience this raaga. Immortal indeed!. Listen to this--> http://bit.ly/a3u3Sj
