Introduction to the Harmonium Songbook
by His Holiness Sivarama Swami

 

When I was young my mother insisted I learn to play piano. Although our family was not well off, she purchased an old upright and paid for my private tutoring over six years. I followed her instruction, but could not quite understand what benefit I would harvest from such a pursuit. I liked music, and I liked to play. But I knew I was neither a musician, nor destined for fame at the keyboard.

Thirty years later (in 1995) my mother was in Budapest when our festival tour was reaching its climax. I invited her to the program in which I sang bhajans while playing the harmonium. The next day, true to form she phoned me at the temple and said, “You see how good it was that you learned the keyboards. Now you can put it to good use for Krsna.” I had to admit to her foresight and wisdom. The skills I had learned on the piano had certainly served me well in Krsna Consciousness.

 

When I received a rough draft of Gaurangasundara Prabhu’s “Vaisnava Songs on the Harmonium”, I was very pleased. Here was a book that would allow devotees to play the songs most popular in our Movement. Without formal keyboard training or music theory, children or adults can easily teach themselves how to glorify the Lord with song and harmonium accompaniment, following the footsteps of our previous acaryas.

For those eager to play the harmonium, with no more musical skill than I, they will find this a valuable contribution. In a short time and with little effort, devotees may master songs by which Sri Krsna, and ever their mothers will be impressed.

Sivarama Swami
