How it is traditionally used

Listen at late night / small hours, when the raga's hour and your own state line up. Give it your attention rather than treating it as background sound: the tradition holds that a raga works on the mind through sustained listening, not ambience. Ten to twenty minutes is enough to feel the shift. It is pointed to for longing, love, devotion.
