Music has a wonderful effect on our minds, which is why different types of music are popular all over the world. However, there is something uniquely special about India's approach to the relationship between music and consciousness. It brings me great pleasure to see a talented youth like Chinmaya working to maintain the traditional purity of classical music while also introducing it to today's generation. I offer many best wishes and blessings on the completion of this book.

Padma Vibhushan - Pandit Hariprasad Chaursia

My Friend Chinmaya Gaur has written a book called "SangītChinmaya," which I found very interesting. He has written some new things that I had not heard of before. I was surprised that our children are not aware of these things. Therefore, it is essential that they read this book. I pray that God continues to inspire Chinmaya to write such new things for our children, so that we can gain knowledge from it, and our future generations can benefit from it as well.

Thank you.
