Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of classical Indian music with Rakesh Chaurasia's "Call of the Divine - Magical Flute of Rakesh Chaurasia." Released on September 1, 2013, under the label Sona Rupa, this bhajan album is a testament to Chaurasia's mastery of the bansuri, or Indian bamboo flute. Spanning a duration of 1 hour and 3 minutes, the album is a spiritual journey through three captivating ragas: Raag Durga, Raag Saraswati, and Raag Bhairavi.
Each track is a unique exploration of these ragas, with Chaurasia's flute weaving intricate melodies that are as soothing as they are profound. The album begins with the Raag Durga, a morning raga that is said to invoke the divine energy of the goddess Durga. Chaurasia's rendition is a gentle yet powerful invocation, setting the tone for the rest of the album.
The Raag Saraswati, dedicated to the goddess of knowledge and arts, is presented in three parts, each showcasing Chaurasia's virtuosity and versatility. The final raga, Raag Bhairavi, is a late-night raga that is said to bring peace and tranquility. Chaurasia's Dhun, or melodic composition, in this raga is a fitting conclusion to this spiritual journey.

Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur of Indian classical music or a newcomer looking to explore its depths, this album is sure to resonate with you.
