I have made a compilation of song excerpts from about 270 Popular and Rare Ragas, mostly focusing on the Trinity, but also including other composers.
The intention here is twofold:
1. To attempt a consolidation of the Raagas in vogue today, presenting the compilation as a single, albeit long 'piece' that can actually be rendered as a Raga Tala Malika, or any of the 270 excerpts can be taken out and rendered individually as a Ragam-Tanam-Pallavi.
2. To form a basis set, the learning of which can enable a musician to improvise on any of the Ragas, again, possibly as a Pallavi, with the primary focus of music therapy.
The compilation consists of 270 Ragas, and every batch of 10 Raagas is dedicated to one of the 27 Nakshatras, with each of the 10 Raagas in this batch dedicated to the 10 Directions (Disis) - North, East, West, South, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest, Above and Below. Hence the name Disi Nakshatra Kriti Malika.
