“Music knows no frontiers.
It is free all-where.
Its contribution to emotional integration,
Human and divine,
Can never be fathomed ” : Sri Chinmoy

I got a few Spotify saves recently on Got it Bad and I Don’t Give A.F. Not many, only 5 in the last two weeks. Not a big deal ? till I looked at the countries and cities they came from. One was from Bulgaria another from Japan and twenty more, different towns and places. To get a save is the conversion from a new casual listener to a Fan. It’s very gratifying knowing total strangers from totally different cultures and traditions have the same music in common.

They don’t know each other are not aware of this fact and that’s the beauty of it.

It’s a win for humanity and makes me smile 🙂

..and for all you budding musicians/composers out there, even one save is a big deal. With 60k tracks released per day, the odds of getting a save is like a rocking horse winning the Grand National.

So smile you’re doing it right!

Sri Chinmoy sees music as the universal language of the heart, dissolving barriers of race, language and culture. “It is through music,” he says, “that the universal feeling of oneness can be achieved in the twinkling of an eye.”

Sri Chinmoy is a prolific composer with thousands of songs to his credit in his native Bengali and in English. He plays many instruments from all over the world including a variety of flutes, the Indian esraj, cello, harmonium, piano and pipe organ. (Video: Sri Chinmoy plays flute and sings during an April 1995 performance in New York)

Sri Chinmoy feels that soulful music can draw us beyond the limitations of the mind into the calm beauty of our own inner being. He composes while in a meditative consciousness, and his music is imbued with a profound meditative spirit. Even at its most powerful, it contains an underlying stillness that reflects its source.
