The Esraj
The Esraj, an Indian stringed instrument, was Sri Chinmoy's favourite instrument; on the Esraj Sri Chinmoy offered many soulful performances of meditative music.
O esraj, I am all gratitude to you
For bringing to the fore
The divine musician in me.
Sri Chinmoy, [1. Sri Chinmoy, Seventy-Seven Thousand Service-Trees, Part 16, New York: Agni Press, 1999.]
Sri Chinmoy would often play the Esraj before lifting people in his special programme 'Lifting Up the World With a Oneness Heart'. Sri Chinmoy felt by playing the Esraj he could offer a meditative consciousness to people.
At Radio Sri Chinmoy, we have a new Esraj Recording - Maestro Sri Chinmoy plays the Esraj.
