Malta, land of sea and spiritual skies

There arent any words to express what it feels like to perform Prabhata Samgiit written by Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, the most beautiful, devotional, awe inspiring and spiritually powerful songs on the planet. Amitabha as pianist and I, worked hard at arranging a selection of Prabhata Samgiita in the best possible way to evoke the beauty and diversity of the melodies and to make them accessible to a western sensibility while keeping strictly to the original tunes and rhythms. We were accompanied by Maltese musicians Nick Morales on bass, Gary Muscat on drums and Dorothy Muscat on backing vocals.

The venue, St James Cavalier, was perfect, with its circular stone walls around an intimate space. The audience was very responsive to the music and even the critics found interest, wonder and beauty in these songs. For myself as a singer/ songwriter there are no songs that capture the depth of human experience and spiritual longing and fulfillment better than these gems, nor any place I would rather be than in a setting with people who love and appreciate the spiritual atmosphere that these songs create.

This performance was in commemoration of the 25th Anniversary of Prabhat Samgiita and am very grateful to the organisers of this event, especially the Ananda Marga Committee of Malta, who put all their heart and soul into it, and thanks to them, it was an amazing experience for all, a million thanks!
