Their repertoire is dedicated to the meditative music of Sri Chinmoy. The group combines pure vocals, gentle harmonies, and acoustic instruments such as harmonium, guitar, wooden flutes, violin, santur, metalophone, bells, and soft percussion. Because of their simple and soulful arrangements, their concerts create a peaceful atmosphere for every listener.

Importantly, all of their performances are offered free of charge, given as gifts of the heart. This reflects Sri Chinmoy’s philosophy of sharing peace through music.


A Legacy of Peace Through Music

Furthermore, their mission is always the same: to share moments of peace and to offer audiences a space for reflection and upliftment. In every country they visit, they continue to inspire listeners through their devotion and sincerity.


Sri Chinmoy’s Vision for Music

Sri Chinmoy (1931–2007)Sri Chinmoy (1931 – 2007), whose songs the group performs, saw music as a powerful path to inner peace and self-transcendence. He wrote thousands of devotional and meditative songs in Bengali and English. These songs express the soul’s longing for light.

Additionally, Sri Chinmoy taught that music is a universal language of the heart — a direct way to awaken peace within. Because of this, his melodies speak to people from many cultures.

Music is the inner or universal language of God.

– Sri Chinmoy, God the Supreme Musician (1976)

Agnikana’s Group continues to embody this vision. Each performance becomes not just a concert, but a quiet inner journey.
