TO PRABHAT SAMGIITA Samgiit means a combination of vocal music, instrumental music and dance. Prabhat is the name of the composer of these songs. Prabhat also means dawn; hence Prabhat Samgiit suggests a new dawn in regards to how lyrics, music and dance can be conceptualized and presented - a new inspiration in collective spirituality through the blended beauty of these art forms. Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji (lovingly called Baba, and also known as Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar) composed the lyrics and music for 5018 songs from September 14, 1982 to October 21, 1990. Most of the songs are in Bengali, but over 40 were composed in other languages also. An eternal note of optimism rings in all the songs, inspiring both singers and listeners to shake off depression, melancholy and fatigue, and generates a new vitality in life. Prabhat Samgiit is a precious gift Baba has offered to humanity. In the short span of eight years, he composed these songs to kindle the flame of devotion and spirituality in every heart and to help lead humanity into the glory of excellence, life, light and fulfillment. Singing or listening to these songs can help transform this world from one of malice, hatred and spite into one of harmony, amity and fraternity. We hope you will enjoy this music. 6 PRONUNCIATION AND LANGUAGE SYNTAX The transliteration is presented strictly to assist in proper pronunciation. It closely resembles phonetics for that language. Although, most songs in Prabhat Samgiit are in Bengali, there are songs in other languages such as Sanskrit, Hindi, Angika, English and so on. The Bengali language has unique sounds such that there are a lot of “o‟s” at the end or in the middle of words, as in “mohono,” which would ordinarily be written as “Mohan”. The “aa” in these songs represents a longer sound as in “far”, as opposed to a shorter sound as in “fur”. Another sound unfamiliar to Western ears is “chh”. “ch” is pronounced “ch” as in child. “chh” is pronounced as “ch” but a greater amount of air blown through the teeth. 7 A WORD ON RAGA AND TALA India has two streams of classical music: that of the north, known as “Hindustani” and that of the south, known as “Carnatic”. Hindustani music has three major classical vocal traditions: Dhrupad (originally Dhruvapad – i.e. containing centrally repeating pattern), khayal (literally means “Concept”) and thumari. Dhrupad (original word Dhruvpad) is a style dedicated to an austere rendition. This tradition is the oldest of the three, generally dating pre-mugal, and during the time of emperar Akbar and it is a bit rigid style. This style is essentially going extinct today, and only a few singers such as Daagar brothers (Daagar-bani form) and Gundecha brothers sing

  • Impact of Diaspora on South Asian Cultures from 18Th to 20Th Centuries
    Impact of Diaspora on South Asian Cultures from 18th to 20th Centuries Karunamaya Goswami Abstract We may, in our context of discussion, take the word ‘Diaspora’ to mean what the dictionary says i.e. ‘the movement of people from any nation or group away from their own country.’ To serve our present purpose, it could be taken as the movement of people from one place to the other and the impact it has on cultures with regard to shaping and reshaping their forms. The Diasporic impact on South Asian cultures has always been immense since antiquity. During the eighteenth to twentieth centuries it was very much felt since the East India Company started consolidating their power in the Indian Subcontinent from the second half of the eighteenth century. During this period, South Asia came under tremendous Diasporic influence of the Western culture and it affected in length and breadth the major dimensions of living from education to hospitalisation. There was also the impact of movement of people from one region to the other within South Asia itself. For instance, music and dance forms travelled to Bengal from far outside the Bengal region and cultural ideas from Bengal travelled to some other regions in South Asia to create an impact there. Tagore travelled to Sri Lanka and with him travelled the culture of Bengal which left a far reaching impact on the Sri Lankan culture. Camel drivers from Punjab came to Lucknow and with their songs they contributed to the shaping up of a new form of Hindustani songs known as Tappa which very soon travelled to Bengal and created a very great impact on the musical developments there.

In all the six philosophies, four Vedas, one hundred and eight Upanishads, eighteen Puranas and two epics, nowhere is it written that a female cannot wear the sacred thread.” —Swami Satyananda Saraswati Bhakti Yoga Sagar, p. 25 “Women, by and large, have more viveka or discrimination than men, not only in India but also in the West and everywhere in the world. They can discriminate between right and wrong, true and false, between dharma and adharma . It is due to their influence that dharma is still in existence.” —Swami Satyananda Saraswati Yoga, May 1999, p.

  • Prabhat Samgiita
    Visit and like us on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/RAWAglobal https://www.facebook.com/AnandaMargaOnline Prabhát Saḿgiita Some Salient Features and Musical Expression of Neohumanism What is the significance of the name Prabhát Saḿgiita? From the name, apparently one would conclude that this school of music has been named after its composer, Prabhát Ranjan Sarkar. But that is not the whole truth. Rather, this school of music heralds the glorious dawn of a new era. Here, Prabhát means the new dawn, and the word Saḿgiita denotes the totality of song, instrumental music and dance. So, Prabhát Saḿgiita signifies a new awakening on the horizon of the musical and cultural world. That is why it has been named Prabhát Saḿgiita. Optimism, not pessimism Many songs in vogue in the world consist of verses and rhymes that convey the ordinary. In the name of modern songs there are many such pieces written in good language. Also, in the present day writings, whether in the music world or literary world, one can easily find a huge mass of literature reflecting dire pessimism, and melancholy, unfulfilled desires and broken promises. One of the prominent features of Prabhát Saḿgiita is its distinct note of optimism reflected in its songs. Having this quality, Prabhát Saḿgiita is a marked departure from some present trends of composition. While despair and suffering are recognised, there is not an iota of pessimism that creeps into the songs. No one need be pessimistic. Take song number 1761 commencing with the verse: Jiivant́á nay theme tháká bhái Brother, life does not cease; Arúper páne nece cali We go on, dancing toward the formless.
