:: full spectrum music for peace ::

Hazrat Inyat Khan (July 5, 1882 – February 5, 1927) was a Sufi Mystic from India who travelled to the West to share his message of Universal Love.  He was a great musician who played the Vina but eventually gave up playing music in order to become the Instrument of God.  His gentle spirit and truthful notions and philosophy has been a great influence on many Sangita Sounds musicians and producers.  His wise words and compassionate thoughts echo through eternity his spirit of peace and harmony echo through time.

In particular, for all music lovers and musicians, we reccomend his excellent Book :- The Mysticism of Sound and Music.

It has played an important part in the essential develpment of Sangita Sounds and our core spiritual philosophy.

The source of truth is within man; he himself is the object of his realization.

Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:

In point of fact truth is simple; it is man who makes it difficult for himself. For all other aspects of knowledge he has to get from outside, but truth is something which is within man himself. It is something which is nearest to us though we imagine it to be farthest; it is something which is within, though we imagine it to be outside; it is knowledge itself we want to acquire. Thus the seeker is engaged in a continual struggle: struggle with himself, struggle with others, and struggle with life. And at the end of the journey he always finds that he has traveled because it was his destiny to travel, and he discovers that his starting-point is the same as his final goal.

Ranajit Sengupta, arguably Kolkata’s finest Sarod player will be appearing with his fusion music project, Anouraag,  on 20th February for the Milapfest organised program in the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.  This fascinating project features Ranajit and Miguel Guldimann and his unique 8 Stringed guitar, adapted by him to feature resonant sympathetic strings similar to a Sitar or Sarod.

This event will take place in The Barbirolli Room at The Bridgewater Hall.

The Sarod is one of the most popular and prominent instruments in Hindustani (northern Indian) classical music, known for its deep, weighty and introspective sound. Ranajit Sengupta is a highly talented performer, composer and lecturer. At a young age, Ranajit has already captured a very respectable place in the hearts of Indian music lovers through his soulful solo performances.
