Sri Chinmoy's songs are a direct expression from the heart and have a very meditative quality to them. They embody the qualities that can be found in meditation - peace, beauty, purity, power, joy,... He has written over 18,000 songs to date!
People often find that listening to this music helps them tremendously in learning how to meditate.
Most of the songs are written in Sri Chinmoy's native Bengali, a rich language well suited to poetry and lyrical expression. Others are written in English. Many have simple melody lines that are sung repeatedly in the style of a mantric chant.
In Great Britain we have a few singing groups that perform Sri Chinmoy's music.
