Follow my favorites on http://www.youtube.com/mrsandeepnaidu. You will definitely like it. My favorites range from Hans Zimmer, Old Telugu Devotional Songs and of course my Guruji, one and only, His Holiness Sri Sri Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji.
Among others Maksim is a great Piano Maestro. And I did come close to attending a Seattle Symphony Concert but could not do it without a company. Same about concert in Lincoln Center. Well I do feel a little sad about that but am Happy that I have attended a lot of concerts of Sri Swamiji in Nada Mantapa and other places in India. You know Nada Mantapa is a rarest of the rare uniquely built acoustically engineered by Sri Swamiji, to bestow his graces to the world in the form of the ancient Raaga Raagini. Raaga Raagini is an ancient practice of Music which takes the musician and listeners to the heights of Yoga and Enlightment. Ancient Scriptures suggest that Lord Hanuman was the greatest practitioner of Raaga Raagini Music. From the little I know, in this practice of Music, the musician uses music to modulate cosmic energy and pranic energy. This modulation can be used for purposes like healing, and many more. Legend says that Lord Hanuman used it to melt a mountain of crystals to reveal a hidden demon and then vanquished it. Put aside the external effects, the most interesting part is that the musician/practitioner devotes his complete energy to be one with Cosmos while practising. It is as if you are meditating though your body and mind are in constant rythm to practice music. There are a very great number of people who have in modern times benefited from Sri Swamiji's concerts. The medical benefits were enormous as Sri Swamiji uses this great science to rejuvinate the Naadi System in the body and modulate the life force in a patient. This is one more unique blend where Sri Swamiji combined Raaga Raagini Music, Ayurveda and Yoga together and also added a blend of Devotion into it to encourage pious thinking in the mankind. Trust me, they really made a lot of difference to thousands of people in many ways both physical and spiritual.
A good start will be Kaala Traya Bodhitam which is my favorite for the past 15 years. Personally that inspired me to think of the cosmos very deeply when I was 17 years old. Oops I almost gave away my age to the reader. :) I don't bother. Take these Music Ensembles and listen every night or when you are free. A lot of difference will be seen.
By the way, there are 6 Raagas and 36 Raaginis. That is all I know of Raaga Raagini Music as of now.
