i think it depends a lot on one's conditioning and mental constitution.
it is said the 90% of our musical enjoyment is based on nostalgia, hence conditioning plays a rather dominant role in our perception of raagas.
some raagas have a universal appeal though - like sahana and shankarabharanam(peace), ataana, kaambhoji and begada (valor), etc.

as an aside, whether deepakam actually lights a lamp or not one does not know, but GNB's lightning brigas in the anupallavi of 'Kalala nerchina' would definitely something close!!

Hi
I found a page called www.saffronsoul.com .Go there and click on Music therepy.You will find Information on curative powers of certain Hindustani Ragas.

(Dont be misled by the name of the site.It does not seem like the Bajrang Dal home page to me.)
