'''Prabhat Samgiita''' | '''Prabhat Samgiita''' is the collection of 5,018 songs given by [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar]] during the last eight years of his life (September of 1982 until October of 1990).{{sfn|Subramanya, Mysore|2008}}<ref group=note>Between 1955 and 1990 the author wrote in English, Bengali and Hindi. He wrote in the name "Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar" when treating sociology, economics, philology]and various other subjects, and in the name ""Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti"" when focusing on spiritual topics. Many of his books he gave as dictations; others were compiled from his discourses, some of them in small pocket-books.</ref> For each song, Sarkar himself composed both the lyrics and the melody.{{sfn|The Telegraph (Calcutta)|20/09/2004}}<ref group=note>Despite the fact that song lyrics are undoubtedly literary, song melodies are primarily non-literary. Lest these songs be dismissed as mere chapters in a book, Prabhat Samgiita has been located within the ''nonliterary'' realm of [[Sarkarverse]].</ref> | ||
