Jaijaivanti or Jaijaiwanti is a Hindustani classical raga belonging to Khamaj Thaat. [1] According to the Guru Granth Sahib, this raga is a mixture of two others: Bilaval and Sorath. The raga appears in the latter section in Gurbani, as only four hymns were composed by Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh guru. These hymns were added by his son and successor Guru Gobind Singh in 1705 A.D. This raga is not mentioned in any Indian classical scriptures on music nor in the Ragmala . [2]

Contents

According to Guru Granth Sahib, Jaijaivanti (ਜੈਜਾਵੰਤੀ) expresses the feeling of happiness and satisfaction of achievement, while simultaneously conveying the sadness of losing. An apt simile for this Raag is that of a king winning a battle, however, he is then told that his son has perished on the battlefield. This Raag conveys a sense of having to put duty first. The duality of the emotions of joy and sorrow prevents overreacting to good or bad news. Raga Jaijaiwanti bears the closest resemblance to raga: Gara.

It is classified as a "Paramel Praveshak Raga", i.e. a raga that has the characteristics of a particular mela or thaat and that has additional notes that allow it to qualify under another mela or thaat. Jaijaivanti has both Shuddha Ga and Komal Ga. It also has Shuddha Ni and Komal Ni usage as well. If more stress or focus is put on the Shuddha Ga and Ni notes, the raga shows the characteristics of the Khamaj thaat. Whereas if more focus is applied to the Komal Ga and Komal Ni notes in the same raga, the characteristics of the Kafi Thaat are highlighted.

Possible notes

Ni Sa Dha Ni (komal) Re, Re Ga (komal) Re Sa.
Pa Re Ga (komal) Re Sa, Ma Pa Ni (shuddha) Re (tar saptak) Ni (komal) Dha Pa, Dha Ma Ga Re, Re Ga (komal) Re Sa.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hanumatodi</span>

Hanumatodi, more popularly known as Todi, is a rāgam in Carnatic music. It is the 8th melakarta rāgam in the 72 melakarta rāgam system. This is sung very often in concerts. It is a difficult rāgam to perform in owing to its complexity in prayoga. It is called Janatodi in Muthuswami Dikshitar school of Carnatic music. Its Western equivalent is the Phrygian mode. Todi in Carnatic music is different from Todi (thaat) of Hindustani music. The equivalent of the Hindustani raga Todi in Carnatic music is Shubhapantuvarali. The equivalent of Carnatic Todi in Hindustani is Bhairavi thaat in terms of notes, but the two sound very different due to differing uses of gamakas.

A thaat is a "parent scale" in North Indian or Hindustani music. It is the Hindustani equivalent of the term Melakartha raga of Carnatic music. The concept of the thaat is not exactly equivalent to the western musical scale because the primary function of a thaat is not as a tool for music composition, but rather as a basis for classification of ragas. There is not necessarily strict compliance between a raga and its parent thaat; a raga said to 'belong' to a certain thaat need not allow all the notes of the thaat, and might allow other notes. Thaats are generally accepted to be heptatonic by definition.
