About the raagam:
Kalyani–The Queen of Ragas – Showering Motherly Touch

Kalyani,the most graceful raga-the name of the supreme goddess, is the 65th Melakartha  raga which belongs to the eleventh Chakra,  named Rudra  Chakra – marks 11 Devas headed by Lord Siva . It is the queen of the raga family, and it’s called “Kalyani”. In the Hindustani system, this raga is known by the name “Yaman”.

In Mind, Body and Soul Chakra – Chakra 11 is the Face Chakra – a very special chakra that houses our ability to become what we wish to become. We have the ability to reshape our bodies, reshape the energies that each of us takes in.

As per Katapayadi Scheme the raga is named as “Mecha Kalyani . The raga has another name “Santha Kalyani“ which can be seen as raga mudra in Dikshithar Krithis. Raga Kalyani is an all -time raga but sounds very bright and pleasant in the eveningOn account of the presence of tivra swaras in this raga, it is very useful for being sung at the commencement of concerts. The requisite musical atmosphere is soon created.”

Kalyani meaning “auspicious ” is a major versatile and one of the “grand” ragas. The famous five grand ragas of our music are Sankarabharanam, Thodi, Kalyani, Kamboji and Bhairavi.  This raga which renders a very pleasing effect is suitable for singing at all times and  encapsulates emotions or rasas namely,Bhakthi,and Shringara,and Vatsalya. This raga is handled as amain raga in concert with elaborate Alapana, and Manodharma Swaras.

It is believed that Kalyani dispels the darkness of fear. It gives motherly comfort and increases confidence. Kalyani means Mangalam. Recited with faith and devotion, the raga is believed to clinch marriage alliances. There are many authentic reports about the raga’s power to destroy fear which takes many forms-fear of poverty, of power, of love, of ill health, of death and so on.
