-Prabhat Samgiita has two most commonly used definitions, namely: "Songs of [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar|Prabhat]]" and "Songs of a New Dawn"{{sfn|Sarkar, Subhas|12/09/2011}}.{{sfn|Sarkár, Subhas|31/12/2010}}{{sfn|The Hindu|21/03/2008}} In light of other similar collections (for example, [[wikipedia:Meera|Meera Bhajans]], [[wikipedia:Rabindra Sangeet|Rabindra Sangeet]], and [[wikipedia:Nazrul Geeti|Nazrul Geeti]]), the former definition seems the most appropriate.
