(Dhanaasaree) This is an Indian musical raga (composition) that appears in the Sikh tradition from northern India and is part of the Sikh holy scripture called Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji or SGGS for short. Every raga has a strict set of rules which govern the number of notes that can be used; which notes can be used; and their interplay that has to be adhered to for the composition of a tune.
In the SGGS, the Sikh holy Granth (book), there are a total of 60 raga compositions and this raga is the Fourth raga to appear in the series. The composition in this raga first appear on page no.13. Then it appears on a total of 36 pages from page numbers 660 to 695 .
It provided the setting for hymns by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Amar Das Ji, Guru Ram Das Ji, Guru Arjan Dev Ji, Guru Tegh Bahadar Ji, Bhagat Kabir Ji, Bhagat Ravi Daas Ji, Bhagat Trilochan Ji, Bhagat Sain Ji, Bhagat Peepa Ji, and Bhagat Dhana Ji. These texts stress that person reaps what he sows. Only in the Lord may be found the riches that dispel fear and ignorance and thus cause people to realize their true selves.
Raag Dhanasari (ਧਨਾਸਰੀ) – Dhanasari is a sense of being completely carefree. This sensation arises from a feeling of contentment and ‘richness’ from the things we have in our lives and gives the listener a positive and optimistic attitude towards the future.
The following represents the order of notes that can be used on the ascending and descending phase of the composition and the primary and secondary notes:
Section | Punjabi | English |
Aroh: | ਨ ਸ ਗ ਮ ਪ ਨ ਸ | Ni Sa Ga Ma Pa Ni Sa |
Avroh: | ਸ ਨ ਧ ਪ ਮ ਪ ਗ ਰ ਸ | Sa Ni Dha Pa Ma Pa Ga Re Sa |
Vadi: | ਸ | Sa |
Samvadi: | ਪ | Pa |
Pa is given a considerable emphasis and Ni and Pa receive sliding approaches, a characteristic of this raga. The pentatonic ascent provides some of the melodic features of this raga.
The only difference between Dhanasri and Bhimpalasi is that Bhimpalasi's Vadi and Samvadi are switched:
- Vadi: ਪ/Pa
- Samvadi: ਸ/Sa
