Organizational Principles

Musical Framework

The primary organizational principle is musical, with compositions arranged according to 31 Raags. This creates a natural flow for kirtan (devotional singing) and helps maintain the musical integrity of the compositions.

  • 31 Classical Raags represented
  • Sequential arrangement by complexity
  • Musical notation preserved
  • Facilitates congregational singing

Hierarchical Structure

Within each Raag, compositions follow a hierarchical order based on form and length. This systematic approach ensures logical progression and easy navigation through different types of spiritual literature.

  • Clear authorial attribution
  • Consistent formatting maintained

Linguistic Harmony

The seamless integration of multiple languages creates a universal appeal while maintaining the authentic voice of each contributor.
