The Sri Chinmoy Bhajan Singers is a female instrumental music group. With Ranjana Ghose as their leader, the singers and musicians hail from all corners of the globe. The group is dedicated to sing Sri Chinmoy’s bhajans, devotional songs. This recording was filmed in Malaysia in 2006. The songs on this album include: Mago Amar Saraswati Swapane Aso Na Nan Hiyar Mata Mata Karuna Rupini Ma Kali Ma Kali Hring Durga Krishna Name Kring Kring Kring Taba Sudha Nam Jago Paran Jago Eso Prashanta Eso Ananta Bighna Nashan Rama Raghava Mandire Mandire Sri Chinmoy on music and God-realisation: “In Mother India there have been many saints, sages and spiritual Masters who were blessed with divine music. Their musical talent did not interfere with their God-realisation, and even after achieving God-realisation, their musical talents did not leave them. A yogi’s qualities and a musician’s qualities can go side by side, provided the yogi has the capacity and inherent talent for music. Even if the yogi spends a very short time in the musical world, he can be a very good musician, but it will take infinitely more time for a musician to become a yogi. Yoga means union, inseparable oneness with God. A yogi is one who has established conscious union with God. He can easily become a musician because in his inseparable oneness with God, he can do anything he wants, But a yogi waits for God’s Will. If it is God’s Will, he will become a musician; or if it is God’s Will, he will become something else. Otherwise, he will remain with his own lofty realisation and oneness; he will reveal and manifest the highest Peace, Light and Truth the way the Supreme wants him to. A musician eventually has to become a yogi, because no musician, no matter what he is playing right now, will remain unrealised. God will not allow any person on earth to remain unrealised forever. If he is not a seeker, he has to become a seeker. Then naturally, in the course of time, he will become a Yogi.”
