TINY
I love this tiny green island
surrounded by the sea
touched by the sea,
decorated by the sea.
I love this tiny green island,
surrounded by the sea.
Am I a secluded figure,
in the vast, a little, a meagre?
No, no, no, no, I am not alone,
Great is with me,
the Great is with me.
I love this tiny green island,
surrounded by the sea.
Introduction
Prabháta Sam'giita is a new trend in the world of
music. The compositions are known as
'Songs of the New Dawn'. In Sanskrit
Prabháta means 'dawn' and Sam'giita is 'the totality of song, instrumental play
and dance'. They came into being when Prabhát
Ranjan Sarkar composed his first song at
In Prabháta Sam'giita one will find a variety of temperaments
such as devotional songs, songs of mystical love, songs of social consciousness
and ecology, marching songs, songs depicting various stages and feelings or
experiences in spiritual meditation, songs on seasons, songs on Krs'na and
Shiva and many more.
The composer used a variety of forms and styles with
elements spanning from classical to folk music. Most of the songs of Prabháta
Sam'giita were composed in Bengali, but over forty songs were composed in other
languages that include: English, Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu, Magahi, Maethili and
Angika.
Prabháta Sam'giita is now a full-fledged school of
music with its own distinct style. It has heralded a new dawn in the realm of
music and culture. It inspires the singers and listeners to shake off
depression, melancholy and fatigue, and generate vitality in life. Novelty,
excellence and uniqueness in its inner spirit, rhythm and tempo and melody are
the hallmarks of these songs, blended with the view to give a wonderful
supra-aesthetic effect to the human mind.
With its strong sublime ideation and feeling of
optimism in reaching one's spiritual goal, Prabháta Sam'giita songs are an
embodiment of the inner truth of human life.
