A Detailed Study of Raag Gauri and its various form

Musicological classification overrides the compilation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in 31 major Raagas and distinctRaaga types as diverse poetic types of bani in their folk and academic variations. From this century-old custom of Sikh Shabad Ki[1]rtan, has emanated distinct Raaga-based Kirtan chaukis, string devices, and taksal prampra as distinctlearning schools of Gurmat Sangeet. The vintage and the present custom of Raagis and Rabaabis constitute a prizedheritage of large melodious tradition.

The melodies of these folk ballads are furthermore the rudimentary source of some Raags drawn from from folk tradition. Asa di conflict and tuned asraje di dhuni can be cited as the best demonstration amidst 22 vaars of Sri Guru Granth Sahib.

The Raag Prabandh of Sri Guru Granth Sahib loves a exclusive place in the development of treasure of Raags in the context of Hindustani, Dakhni/karnatki and Gurmat custom of music. Gurubani has been classified and indexed under 31 major Raagas, were engrossed in fRaag-Raagni scheme of classification of Raags, having their won acceptedschools like Raagranav mat, Shivmat, Hanumat, Kalimat etc. as their poetical illustrations, renowned as Raagmalas. Under these Raagmalas, Raagas were categorized as asserted by distinct well renowned relationships.[3]

The times were very critical. The Muslim rulers were persecuting the Hindus. They were advised second ratepeople in their own country. The Hindus were split up into numerous castes. Even the lowest repression at the hands of the fiendish Muslim rulers failed to join them contrary to their oppressors. They had to yield Jaziya (a levy which Hindus were compelled to pay). They were not permitted to assemble new temples. They were furthermore not permitted tohold any tool for fighting for their protection like sword or lancers.

Such were the times when Guru Nanak was born. He increased his voice contrary to the caste-system of the Hindus. He scolded the wicked Muslim rulers and exhorted them to heal Hindus and Muslims alike, as there was nodistinction between them, as they were all alike in the eyes of God, as they all were young children of identical God. Those who pursued his teachings and became his disciples, came to be renowned as Sikhs. In this way, the base of Sikh belief was laid.

Guru Nanak dedicated his life to preach Sikhism. He travelled to all the significant sacred locations of the Hindus and furthermore paid a visit to Mecca a location sacred to the Muslims. He contacted Yogis and Sidhas as well. He provided a note of universal brotherhood and exhorted all human beings to stop the life full of  rituals and superstitions. He suggested them to dedicate themselves in the recitation of His praise. He instructed them to lead a lifefounded on dependable occupations for livelihood, partaking hard-earned nourishment with other ones, dwelling a life of righteousness and assisting others. He denunciated the then common Hindu and Muslim rites and rituals and thereforeperformed a revolutionary part. He furthermore increased his voice contrary to the deplorable plight of women in the society.

His successor Guru Angad Dev conveyed on the torch lit by him. He started the educating of Gurmukhi andbegun a school for this reason at Khadoor Sahib. He furthermore got in writing Janam Sakhi (biography) of Guru Nanak. Amar Dass, the third Guru conveyed on community kitchen on more powerful footing. He furthermoreassembled a Bauali (a well) and therefore established a location of pilgrimage for the Sikhs. He notified his followers that the bathing in Bauali is more sacred than the bathing in the river Ganges. His successor, the Sodhi Patshah, Guru Ram Das based the town ofAmritsar. He furthermore got cut into a container in Amritsar. The fifth Nanak, Guru Arjan Dev,assembled the sacred compositions (Baani) of first five Gurus, ...
