Ryuji Matsumoto comments : After all, This is MY HEAVEN. Indian classical music stands by my LIFE.Maybe forever. Thanks a lot!
Carlos Sampaio comments : Great Lesson about Raga Lalit and Lalit Goura. I would like to read any comments about Raga Lalit Bhairavi and Lalit/Lalat. I'm studying Indian Ragas,and I have fascination to Raag Lalit when I hear mainly Suddha and Teevra Madhyam together. It's supreme... Thank you, Mr. Rajan and all staff of this wonderful site! -more peace, Carlos(from Brazil)
Anil comments : writing from new york. i have just seen many of the articles by Rajan here. The collection of the musical clips in incredible. but why are most of them cut half-way thr'? i am sure if you pursue the related copy-right holders, they will allow the whole clips to be put on the web...
BUT MORE THAN THIS I WANT TO SAY THAT I WAS OUT AND OUT DISGUSTED BY THE LANGUAGE USED FOR MANY MUSICIANS. I BELIEVE INDIAN MUSIC IS GREAT AND IT SOMEHOW GIVES SOME HUMBLENESS TO THE PERSONALITY. USING REALLY DIRTY WORDS FOR MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO MAKE THIS SITE "ADULTS ONLY"..
IS THERE ANY REAL NEED FOR DIRTY LANGUAGE HERE? (for example, his horniness mr. jasraj)
If you think some composition is C-grade (like Jeevalagaa by Hridaynath) how about keeping it out of your site? why put things and then remark that they are bad? people all around the world know bad music by their own experience! (there is plenty of it everywhere).
besides..i know many NON-"-ghats or their lapdogs, the goans" who go all ga-ga over jeevalagaa....
i personally think it is one of the best poems in marathi..in case you understand anything in poetry!
but i am not here to lecture you on that....

RK. Afficionados comments : After elabotrating on the raga's characteristics, you say: "[...] It should be now obvious to even women and children that Lalit is a complex raga with a highly vakra build...".
In don't understand how you dare putting these sort of comment in your article.... - especially on women's forum ??? Baffling !
Nafees Ahmad comments : My name is Nafees Ahmad, and I myself is a musician, my profile can be seen by Typing “Nafees Ahmad Sitar” in the Google search bar.
I have no words to appreciate this sole contribution to the classical music, the only this I could just say is that I surrender all my good feeling and prays for the people who are devoting their time and energies for this noble cause.
May God bless you all.
