Raag Maajh

This is the second Raag to appear in the Guru Granth Sahib.The first raga is Siri Raaga and the third Raaga is Gauri.

It appears on pages 94 to 151 and covers a total of 57 pages.

This raga is attributed to Guru Nanak Dev ji, who developed it from a Punjabi folk tune. It does not appear in the Ragmala nor does it seem to be a classical raga today. Possibly it has been reserved purely for Gurbani Kirtan. Maajh or Majh was the setting for compositions by Guru Nanak Dev ji , Guru Angad dev ji, Guru Amar Das ji , Guru Ram Das ji and Guru Arjun Dev ji. This is a regional raaga of Manjha- the central portion of the Punjab-and is sung in the afternoon. Here Guru Nanak has given an account of social, cultural and religion conflict between the Hindus and the Muslims in his age. Guru Arjun Dev ji has composed the calendar - Barah Maha - in this raaga. He has dwelt on the characteristics of different months, and the importance of water and milk in the agricultural economy of the punjab. Metaphorically these two things respectively signify that man without devotion and kindness is no good at all.
