When you look at the galaxy of the musicians of the last 100+ years, you may find
- There WERE hundreds of stars
- There ARE
s of stars bcuz of the seeds planted by previous generation (not everyone is present/active on Twitter/FB)
- Galaxy WILL BE always full of stars

Pls free to add a similar reference for #Carnatic style.

This means if you start listening a new raga everyday, it will take around 5 years just to listen all the 1800+ ragas at least once. 
365 days/year x 5 years = 1825 ragas
BTW, this calculation is just for the Hindustani style of the #IndianClassicalMusic

On the other hand, one life is NOT sufficient to completely understand even one Raga.
गानसरस्वती Vid. #KishoriAmonkar ji used to say that she still discovers the new paths in her trademark raga, Raag #Bhoop even after an association of few decades with the raga.

Just forget about the raga, as per the legendary Violin maestro Dr. #NRajam ji, it's very difficult even to play one single note absolutely correct which she realized in her 70s.
Only those who continued their sadhana of the true music have reached to this stage.

खुसरो दरिया प्रेम का सो उल्टी वाकी धार!

Applicable to the ocean of the #IndianClassicalMusic as well.
