I was wondering, some Asa Ki Vaar recitations have the second part sung in a different raag (not asa), is it raag bhairavi, or some other raag? The tunes sound interesting so I am wanting to get a grasp of which raag is commonly used in Asa Ki Vaar (apart from Asa).

I wanted to know which raag asa ki vaar is sung in (apart from asa), not a video. Also, the first part of Asa Ki Vaar "Har amrit bhinnay loina", is it in ek taal?

I don't have a musical bone in the body but yes I've noticed this as well. For example, in Bhai Balbir Singh jee's recording of Asa dee Vaar the tone turns to a more bairaag mood in the second part. They then turn back to usual tone near the end.

I've noticed this in Bhai Avtaar Singh's and Chardikala Jatha's version of Asa Dee Vaar as well.

Please could a Raagi Singh/Singhnee explain the thinking/reasoning behind this?

Professor Surinder Singh, hope this helps a bit.

It seems to sound like raag bhairavi in some cases and Bhairo in others. Just need confirmation from the community as to which raags are used in this recording of Asa Ki Vaar:

Bhai Satvinder Singh have a Facebook page, maybe try asking him directly?

What's taal used for the "har amrit bhinnay loina" tune? Can't seem to figure it out.

Guru Maharaj writes "Asa Mahalla Pehla Vaar Saloka Naal" in the sirlekh and so from the litlle budhi I have, I feel that it should be sung in Raag Asa then. There doesn't seem to be room for personal modification.

Just my 2 cents.
