Samgiita: Song, Dance and Instrumental Music

by Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar

Shrii Prabhat Sarkar understood the urgent need of cultural renaissance for the all-round progress of humanity, and throughout much of his life took a two-track approach towards the realization of that renaissance. As a philosopher, following his own intuitive approach, he focused an unprecedented light on various aspects of the cultivation of art, literature and music, as well as the human journey from the aesthetic to the supra-aesthetic. And along the second track, that of his practical activities, he once again opted for a for a dual approach: on the one hand he founded institutions that whole heartedly and explicitly support and encouraged various aesthetic pursuits, and on the other hand he personally composed a body of songs called Prabhata Samgiita which finally came to total 5018 compositions.

This book is a compilation that consists of his discourses on the subject of music, and also of various of his own Prabhata Samgiita songs.
