Some of them have been composed based on Hindustani music. We have quite often witnessed such music containing embellishments such as cadential trills which are visible in Khayal songs. Such songs are known as semi classical songs. Furthermore, many a song composed based on the raagas have been quite popular in Sri Lanka. In some of them, the raaga elements are very much visible and they are present all through the song. In certain songs, only its bases include raaga elements. Apart from that, there are certain other songs composed using a reflection of raagas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Accordingly, semi classical songs could be categorized as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Songs firmly based on raaga forms<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Songs slightly mixed with raaga forms<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Songs with a touch of raaga<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">(<em>Sinhala Geethaye Ragadhari Pasubima<\/em> \u2013 B.

This song, written by the well-known lyricist Doctor Sunil Sarath Perera and composed by Professor Dayarathna Ranathunga, is greatly relied on the Yaman Kalyan Raaga, and it speaks of the evening time of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cSendha Ahase Irata Muvaven kaalaya kavulu dhorin miya yanawa \u2026\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sendha Ahase \u2026\u2026.. \u201c<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">(\u201cThe time dies away through the window by hiding from the sun in the evening sky \u2026\u2026..<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In the evening sky \u2026\u2026\u2026..\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The best time to sing the Yaman Kalyan Raaga is the evening. In fact, every Hindustani Raaga has a specific time to be sung, since the particular raaga can then excite the relevant emotions of the singer. It has been proven that the sound waves released through musical notes are strongly effective on the surrounding atmosphere as well as the physical body of people. The most suitable time considered for the Yaman Kalyan Raaga to be sung is from 4 \u2013 7pm. The Yaman Kalyan Raaga \u00a0which should be chanted during the time of the sunset has well suited the lyrics of the song in discussion and the relevant musical notes have further beautified the song.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cEtha atheethen piyawara nagamin \u2026.. kana wela allan kawudho enawa \u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Balaporoththuwa layata thurulu wee \u2026\u2026. ea ena pera maga bala sitinawa \u2026\u2026..\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">(\u201cSomeone from the past is coming holding a walking stick \u2026\u2026\u2026 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Holding on to expectations, he waits for her staring at the road \u2026\u2026.\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116398 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Professor-Dayarathna-Ratathunga.png\" alt=\"Professor Dayarathna Ratathunga\" width=\"492\" height=\"650\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">When the lyrics of a certain song aim at making the listener feel the current of emotions of a lonely heart or a memory from the past, and when it is done so by combining that particular song with the amalgamation of the intensive and pure madhyams of the musical notations of the Yaman Kalyan Raaga, it becomes further close to the heart of the listener.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">According to raag therapy, among the raagas used in reducing emotional pressure, the Yaman Kalyan Raaga \u00a0holds a special place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">While being occupied in various daily chores, the human mind faces numerous issues and this leads to developing emotional pressure.

Accordingly, music is favourable for all activities that take place in the brain. When raaga music cannot be utilized directly, songs mixed with raagas could be used as music therapy. The song \u2018Sendha Ahase\u2019 excites one\u2019s mind with the likeness of a silent environment and also peaceful, relaxing and erotic feelings.
