Introduction
Prabháta Saḿgiita 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 Saḿgiitaa means 'the totality of song, instrumental play, and dance.'
It came into being when Shrii Prabhát Ranjan Sarkar composed his first song at Deoghar, India on September 14, 1982. Over the span of eight years, the treasure of Prabháta Sa?giita grew rich in content, style, and variety. On October 20th, 1990, the day before Shrii P. R. Sarkar's worldly departure, the number of Prabháta Saḿgiita stood at a staggering 5018.
In Prabháta Saḿgiita 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 the various stages, feelings and experiences in spiritual meditation, songs about seasons, songs about Kr??a 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 Saḿgiita were composed in Bengali; however, over forty songs were composed in other languages that include: English, Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu, Magaht, Maethili and Angika.
Prabháta Saḿgiita 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 its singers and listeners to shake off depression, melancholy, and fatigue; and, generate vitality for life. Novelty, excellence, and uniqueness in its inner spirit, rhythm and tempo, and melody, are the hallmarks of these songs, combined with the goal of providing a wonderful supra-aesthetic effect on the human mind. With its strong sublime ideation, and feeling of optimism in reaching one's spiritual goal, Prabháta Saḿgiita is an embodiment of the inner truth of human life.

SONG OF NEO-HUMANISM
Calling all, I will sing the glories of this crimson dawn
in the kingdom of divine light,
beyond the threshold of darkness.
The sky above is studded with stars,
The air is intoxicated with fragrance.
With all entities I exist,
anointing my mind with the pollen of flowers.
Calling all, I will sing the glories of this crimson dawn
in the kingdom of divine light,
beyond the threshold of darkness.
This earth on which I walk
is purer than the purest gold.
In its green shade,
all creatures are cherished.
It dances, blessed with new life.
Calling all, I will sing the glories of this crimson dawn
in the kingdom of divine light,
beyond the threshold of darkness.
-----
Calling all, I will sing the glories of the crimson dawn
in the kingdom of divine light,
beyond the threshold of darkness.
The sky is studded with stars.
The air is sweetly scented.
In all entities I exist,
anointing my mind with the pollen of flowers.
This earth on which I walk
is purer than the purest gold,
in its green shade,
all creatures are cherished.
It dances, blessed with new life.
Purport:
Darkness has come to an end, crossing the threshold at the edge of light. Now is the
proper time to call all and announce that the crimson dawn has come. The beautiful sky is
studded with so many stars, the air is sweetly-scented. The atmosphere, lithosphere,
hydrosphere - everything is closely related to me. All the flora and fauna I must
preserve; I must save them from premature extinction because I love everything of this
earth. I am a Neo-Humanist. I call one and all to come and create a new rhythm.
