Sarkar's songs cover a multitude of themes. There are devotional songs, mystical songs, and revolutionary songs. There are folk songs, children's songs, women's songs, and ballads. There are wedding songs, birthday songs, and festival songs. Regardless of the theme, in every song there is a strong spiritual undercurrent, expressive of Sarkar's personal philosophy of [[Neohumanism]].<ref name=PSV1/><ref name=PSV2/><ref name=PSV3/><ref name=PSV4/><ref name=PSV5/><ref name=PSV6/><ref name=PSV7/><ref name=PSV8/><ref name=PSV9/><ref name=PSV10/><ref name=PSV11/><ref name=PSV12/><ref name=PSV13/>

The melodies of Prabhat Samgiita represent most of the major classical and folk styles of India. However, these Indian musical styles are often blended, occasionally for the first time, with musical styles from different parts of the world and different historical eras.<ref name="PS1">{{cite book|last=Sarkar|first=Prabhat Ranjan|title=Prabhat Samgiita Volume 1|publisher=Ananda Marga Publications|editor=Acarya Vijayananda Avadhuta|location=Kolkata|year=1993|ISBN=81-7252-041-7}}</ref><ref name="PRS Vol1-10">{{cite book|last=Sarkar|first=Prabhat Ranjan|title=Prabhat Samgiita Volumes 1-10|location=Kolkata|year=1984-1990|publisher=Ananda Marga Publications|editor=Acarya Vijayananda Avadhuta and Acarya Sarvatmananda Avadhuta|language=Bengali}}</ref>

As Sarkar rarely gave titles to his songs, the songs are referenced by their first line. In other words, the first line of each song is treated as the song's title. Whenever identification of a song on the basis of the first line alone might be ambiguous, that song is distinguished by adding the second line of the song, generally separated from the first line by a comma.<ref name=PSV1/><ref name=PSV2/><ref name=PSV3/><ref name=PSV4/><ref name=PSV5/><ref name=PSV6/><ref name=PSV7/><ref name=PSV8/><ref name=PSV9/><ref name=PSV10/><ref name=PSV11/><ref name=PSV12/><ref name=PSV13/><ref name=PS1/><ref name="PRS Vol1-10"/>

=== Method 2: Locate by date ===
=== Method 2: Locate by date ===
Knowing the date when a song was given is almost as good as knowing the number of that song. Just locate the table or tables that include the songs given on that date, and the song you want should be listed there.

# There is broad agreement among all the sources about the order of the songs; however, occasionally a discrepancy is found regarding the specific day on which a particular song was given. If you happen to have the date on which a song was given but do not find the song in the list, then look for the song just above or below that date.

# For various reasons, the spelling of the song titles may vary from what is listed below. Here on Sarkarverse, we use [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar|Sarkar's]] system of [[Roman Bengali transliteration]]. However, even then there may be some legitimate spelling discrepancies, and also your memory of the first line's words might be mistaken. So, for best results, try to limit your search to only a few words that you are sure of. Instead of searching for ''Bandhu he niye calo'', try searching for just ''Bandhu he''.

# The '''Expand/Collapse All''' switch toggles the current state of each table between Expanded and Collapsed. By default all of the tables on this page are collapsed. However, if you have expanded one or more but not all tables, clicking that switch will still result in some of the tables being expanded and others collapsed. To quickly restore the page to a state in which all tables are collapsed, it should be sufficient to reload/refresh the page.
