About Asa
Raga Asa is a Sikh raga (composition) that emerged in the Sikh tradition from Punjab. It is part of the Gurmat Sangeet musical tradition, which includes ragas used by Sikh Gurus for Gurbani. It is used in the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy scripture. It is not used in other Indian traditions. "Majh Khamaj" raga appears in Hindustani Sangeet, but it does not resemble the Asa of Gurmat Sangeet. "Asa" is part of the daily prayers conducted in Sikh Gurdwaras. In composing a tune, every raga follows rules that govern the number of notes that can be used, which notes can be used, and their interplay.
