The legend goes that <em>Deepak Raga<\/em> was one of the most difficult ragas to sing. Besides, so much heat would be caused by a perfect rendering of this raga that not only would lamps alight, but the singer\u2019s body too would burn to ashes. When Akbar asked Tansen to sing Deepak Raga, Tansen knew it can set the singer himself on fire. He also knew that if <em>Megh Malhar Raga<\/em>, which brings the rain, could be sung at the same time, he would be saved from the fury of fire. Rupa, a devoted disciple of Haridas, was trained to sing with him, with the permission of the Guru. <em>(source: Pitara.com)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the film <em>Sangeet Samrat Tansen<\/em>, as Tansen begins to sing <em>Deepak jalao jyoti jagao man me andhera hai<\/em> (Mohd Rafi), the surrounding air gets warmer and warmer and his body becomes hot and feverish. Panic stricken, his childhood mate Hansa, also a student of Guru Haridas starts the opening sargam of Megha Malhar nervously. Guru Haridas&#8217; blessings helps her gain strength and she picks up the vigour of the raga, singing with her heart and soul. Well, the rain gods have no option but to rush to the rescue of Tansen.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Mehaa aao re<\/strong> (Sangeet Samrat Tansen, 1958) &#8211; SN Tripathi \/ Shailendra \/ Lata Mangeshkar<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cjwj0R7o5ZE\" width=\"100%\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><em>Garjat barsat sawan aayo re<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><em>laayo na sang mein hamre bichhde balamwa<br \/>\nsakhi ka karoon haaye<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c2150a;\"><strong>Rain song suggested by Jyoti Sharma<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Suman Kalyanpur and Kamal Barot sing this semi-classical delight composed by Roshan for a film that has the rains in its title itself &#8211; <em>Barsat ki Raat<\/em> and is choc-a-bloc with everlasting melodies.
