You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.202.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:04, 17 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Guru Granth Sahib sidebar))

'''Ragmala''', alternatively spelt as '''Raagmala''' or '''Ragamala''' ([[Punjabi language|Punjabi]]: ਰਾਗਮਾਲਾ ((Small|([[Gurmukhi]]))); pronounced rāgmālā,) is a composition of twelve verses, running into sixty lines, that names various [[Raga]], which appear in most ''saroops'' of [[Guru Granth Sahib]], after the compositions of Guru Arjan entitled ''Mundavani'' (ਮੁੰਦਾਵਣੀ; meaning "The Royal Seal".)

The title literally means a 'Garland of [[Ragas|Raga]]’, or a ‘Mode of Musical Melodies’ - "Mala" means "garland", while "Raga" means “musical composition or mode”, which has also given rise to the series of [[Ragamala paintings]]. This list differs according to the author and the music school it is based upon. Thus, there exists a number of such lists in the music text books of India.

There are eight raags that are utilised in Guru Granth Sahib that have not been mentioned in the Raagmala. These are: Bihagara, Wadahans, Manjh, Jaitsri, Ramkali, Tukhari, Prabhati and Jaijawanti. Mali-Gaura is not included in Raagmala but Gaura is.<ref>Surindar Siṅgh Kohli. A Critical Study of Adi Granth. Delhi, 1961</ref><blockquote>“The last pages of the Kartarpur Beerh do not suggest, either because of the presence of blank spaces, or scoring out, or obliteration hortal, or otherwise, that there was or could have been the least intention to write these hymns in the Granth. The Mudaavni is on page 973/1. Pages 973/2 and 974/1 are blank, and on page 974/2 is Raagmala. As such, there could never have been the possibility, nor could it ever have been contemplated that these three writings requiring a space of over four pages could have been accommodated on the two blank pages 973/2 and 974/1.” <ref>Professor Sahib Singh. About the Compilation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib (Tr. Daljit Singh). Amritsar, 1996</ref> - Professor Sahib Singh</blockquote>According to Dr. S. S. Kapoor, the Sikh scholars differ in their opinion about its inclusion in the Granth. The traditional school thinks it to be a part of the Guru Granth Sahib and asserts that it is an index of the raags used in the Guru Granth Sahib. This argument can be challenged on the grounds that a number of raags mentioned Raagmala are not in the Guru Granth Sahib and a number of raags used in the Guru Granth Sahib are not in the Raagmala. Another argument of the traditional schools ([[Sampradaya|sampardai]]) that it is a part of the original copy and is written in the same ink and with the same pen as was used for the other parts of the Granth. 

Various [[Sects of Sikhism|Sikh Sampardas]] (traditional lineages of knowledge) allege that the Raagmala is not a rosary of the Raags of the Guru Granth Sahib, but rather has a deeper spiritual meaning.  

==Official Sikh standpoint on the Raagmala==
Article XI (a) of the Sikh Rehat Maryada (SRM):
"The reading of the whole Guru Granth Sahib (intermittent or non-stop) may be concluded with the reading of Mundawani alone or the Rag Mala according to the convention traditionally observed at  all the concerned places. ('''''Since there is a difference of opinion within the Panth on this issue''''', nobody should dare to write or print a copy of Guru Granth Sahib excluding the Raag Mala)."<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.sgpc.net/rehat_maryada/section_three_chap_five.html |title=Sikh Reht Maryada, the Definition of Sikh, Sikh Conduct & Conventions, Sikh Religion Living, India |accessdate=2013-02-01 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130209065301/http://sgpc.net/rehat_maryada/section_three_chap_five.html |archivedate=2013-02-09 ))</ref>
