Music
“If you want to know me, listen to my music.”
— Swami Kriyananda
Swami Kriyananda said that melodies would sometimes appear fully formed in his mind, and he would write them down. This is how he came to compose over 400 pieces of music. Once a person criticized the happiness of his songs as being unrealistic, that the only reason he can write such songs is because he hasn’t suffered. Kriyananda said, however, that it is because he has suffered that he has won the right to create such carefree songs, and that they are realistic in the highest sense, because Joy is the ultimate reality.
