As Guru Pt. Hanuman Sahay Said about Maad While the folk songs do not have ascension (आरोह-अवरोह), but Raga Maad has been chanted by musicians, so it has ascension as well. This is not the tune, the entire raga is. Calling it narrow, this large singing style has also been ridiculed. Which is probably a point of reference for the original art seekers of Rajasthan.The special thing is that behind this neglect, there was insignificant greed of the artists here, who went on to subdue Ragdharma, considering Rajdharma as paramount. That is, the artists sang the practice and hold of the raga maad by showing their sadhana in other ragas. This implies that at any time in the princely states, a musician was called to sing, for which a proverb also prevails is “Raj Bulai Thadi aai”.The artists were very happy to sing before their king. The king’s request would have been maad, but it would have been early in the morning, the artistes would have made Rajawadi words effective by keeping the practice of raga maad and making kings happy by practicing their art in ragas like Bhairav, Bhatiara etc.From a musical point of view, artists used to do this only for money supply. But at present, it is justified to bring the real nature of the raga maad to everyone. Which Dr. Hanuman Sahai Ji has tried to tell in his book “Rajasthan ki shelly Maad udgam evm vikas”.
