Gujari Raag

From SikhiPedia

The name "Gujari" probably refers to the state of Gujarat. This ragawas in existence at the time of Raja Man Singh of Gwahor (1486-1517) who lived at a time of high musical achievement and referred to this raga in his writings about music. Gujari is rarely used as a concert raag today and little is known about its form. In modern times it has been supplanted by Gujari-Todi. In the Raagmala, Gujari is listed as a ragini of Raag Dipak. Today Gujari-Todi belongs to the Todi thala. Gujari-Todi may be performed during any season of the year and is assigned to the early morning hours. It produces a mood of thoughtfulness that reaches deep into the heart. Texts set to this raag strip away all subterfuge and make man see himself as he is and search within for the truth. While not one of the most frequently used ragas, Gujari was the setting for compositions by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Amardaas Ji, Guru Ramdaas Ji, and Guru Arjan Dev Ji.
