With great enthusiasm I approach musical album, film music and other popular music releasing today. Unfortunately very few keep up to the standard. So still I prefer listening to the old hits of Rafi, Mukesh, Asha Bhosle, Yesudas etc. Therefore it is necessary to think on what is happening to our music and why we cannot create good music for the present generation. Swamy Thyagaraja finds the term ‘Music’ as a synonym for the term 'Bhakti' because good music is believed to have a greater role in bringing happiness and peace of mind to us. It is in this serene mind, God is reflected. Therefore good music has a great role in helping the people to have 'the realization of God'. Because music is a special gift of God which has to be used as a divine means to elevate ourselves to God. Composing music is such a holy act of sharing in the creative work of God.
