Dear friends, it is a great honor and joy to present the "He Vidyutonnati" CD. It is a beautiful musical exploration, a wonderful expression of musical sensibility.

Throughout his life on Earth, Sri Chinmoy was active in many fields of endeavor, and in each one he manifested his philosophy of self-transcendence: trying always to go beyond our conceived limitations, challenging impossibility at every moment. In the field of music, Sri Chinmoy composed more than 18,000 devotional songs, and offered more than 800 concerts, always free of charge, between 1984 and 2007.

Through music, sports, art, literature and many other activities, Sri Chinmoy endeavored to foster harmony in this world, and to inspire countless individuals to lead a better life, a life of inner progress towards perfection.

Vidyutonnati Spitzer offers us here a jewel, a musical jewel. This music could easily be used to score a documentary about our planet; one feels like one is travelling around the globe. Here are Vidyutonnati's own comments about himself and his music:

"My father is a professional musician too, so I started at age 3 with the flute, at age 5 with piano, at age 13 with guitar, at 19 with the doublebass and for a short time the bassoon. Before coming to Sri Chinmoy, I played mainly Jazz and Funk music, studied classical music ... which I still play professionaly today. Coming to Sri Chinmoy’s path I got inspired by his music and tried to arrange it with my classical as well as jazzy background. Sri Chinmoy’s music for me is the ultimate, the peak of any musical sense."

We are grateful to Vidyutonnati for his soulful and illumining offering.
