The idea is to contemplate in a spiritual way about how you spent the day.
Raga Bhupali for Meditation Bansuriflute 2013-10-21 | http://www.bansuriflute.com http://www.facebook.com/bansurifluteRaga Bhupali is an evening melody that embodies somberness and tranquility ("Gambhir" and "Shaant" rasa) of evening. This makes Bhupali one of the most wonderful Ragas for meditation.I "learnt" this raga when I was seven years old. In fact, this was the first Indian raga I learnt when I started learning to play Harmonium as kid. It is a simple pentatonic scale. However, I keep finding that every few years I seem to rediscover this Raga and understand it in ways I never before did.This piece represents free improvisation in the Raga. Close your eyes, focus on your breath and let the music submerge you.
