A Very Appreciative Review of My Song, "The World Peace Formula".


Loren Sperry has very favorably reviewed my song "The World Peace Formula" as follows on the Music Existence web site:
 
Sankarshan Das has a lot to say in his new single “The World Peace Formula,” and when it comes to getting it off of his chest, he’ll use whatever melodic weaponry is handy to make sure we get the point. Armed with a guitar and a voice that is both familiar and warm amidst these quarantine times, Das doesn’t attempt to adorn his music with a lot of flamboyancy here, but instead gets down to the nitty gritty of folk-pop’s melodic framework with the purpose of making his lyrics the primary focus from start to finish here.

Though I have nothing against big budget videos when they strike the right tone beside that of the music’s deeper narrative, the simplistic look Das went for in “The World Peace Formula” seems more genuine and heartwarming when I compare its style to that of a mainstream pop singer on either side of the Atlantic this winter. Social justice has been a very popular subject in the past two years, particularly among singer/songwriters, but I don’t know that there have been enough players to encapsulate the theme with as few visual or sonic aids as this artist does in his latest single.

The World Peace Formula

I didn’t know what I was going to find when pressing the play button on “The World Peace Formula” this week, but I can tell you I was very relieved to hear a composition made from passion and not from a desire to profit, as is indicated in perfect clarity within the first thirty seconds of the music video. Sankarshan Das is a very interesting character who I hadn’t had the chance to explore prior to hearing this track and seeing its video, but with his talents now confirmed to me, I’ll be looking out for more of his material in the year ahead.

Question: Spiritual Important?

Is spirituality important?
 
Siddharth Sengupta

Answer: Absolutely Essential

"Important” would be understatement of the century. Spirituality is absolutely essential it one is to be situated on the human platform. Otherwise without spirituality one is no better than a two-legged animal. As stated in the Vedic wisdom, the Vedānta-sūtra, “athāto brahma jijñāsā,” human life when beings when one inquires about what is the nature of spirit.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

Image
In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t...

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But ...
