There are only 2 ways - one , you should memorize (or) two, you should be a prodigy. There are no shortcuts. I remember one occassion when Ravikiran (now gottuvadyam exponent) was a child surrounded by vidwans and wizards in Music Academy. Each vidwan asked in different permutations like - what ragam is 67th Melakartha ; what is the name of 3rd ragam in 6th chakra etc. etc.. Without a wink, he casually told the answers and was playing. So, if you are very particular in reciting or spelling out the melakartha ragas , then you have to memorize just like any other poems we did during our schooldays. Finally, what is the purpose you need to remember the melakartha ragas and their technical details. Are you preparing for any competitions or any other ? Fundamentally by looking at the arohanam and avarohanam, you can nearly find out the chakra and the melakartha number. Then you can refer the chart.for the name of the ragam. read less

Katapayadi system forms the basis of deriving different ragas. You can make your own pneumonic codes to remember. Eg: Kanakangi, Ratnangi, Ganamuti (KRG) for the first cycle and so on.

Well initially when you see 72 melas together you might think that it is difficult to memorize them all, but believe me it is not difficult at all. Look at the 72 melakartaragapattika , you can see it is divided into different sections like First 36 ragas called poorvamelaragas( shuddha madhyama ragas)...

Well initially when you see 72 melas together you might think that it is difficult to memorize them all, but believe me it is not difficult at all. Look at the 72 melakartaragapattika , you can see it is divided into different sections like First 36 ragas called poorvamelaragas( shuddha madhyama ragas) and rest 36 ragas called Uttaramelaragas (prati madhyama ragas.Then again these are divided into 12 chakras So i would suggest you to memorize one chakra everyday according to the series/serialwise , in this case u can learn 6 ragas per chakra with their raga name and numbers also chakra name and swarasthanas of each ragas. read less
