Raag Durga, the Swarga of Courage
Durga raga may help to feel stable and to find the right mind space to deal in a emotionally regulated pathway. Sometimes we may be emotionally overwhelmed. At those times listening to the Durga ragam may help with Fatigue and Mental Exhaustion. The slow alaap style of Raag Durga may restore psychological calm. Ideally at least 30-40 minutes amidst of the crisis situation will do much better to the listener. If possible at a later time a quiet environment in a relaxed posture and with minimum distraction may actually do lot more therapeutically. Instruments Commonly Used are pleasant sounds of Bansuri (flute) and Veena or sitar. Like the word Durga, the raga may give a slow burn kind of courage and gentle nudge for making the small next move in the right direction.
