Then the two had a long talk (musician and sculptor). By the end of their talk, Mr. Parasara was overjoyed. He said: “At last my faith is restored. This (Sunil-da) is a great man, he is unique. He has saved... Kanak played on the electric guitar and played an important role in Sunil-da’s orchestra. This guitar was to us, at that time (in the early 50s) a new unheard of instrument of music. It seems (to me) that Kanak and his guitar fitted in well into Sunil-da’s later music, whereas other instruments disappeared from the scene?! Sunil-da would even want Kanak around when he composed. Then there were the... one that Sunil-da had a high regard for was Ravibala’s. Her participation unfortunately was very rare. But rare too was the pure timbre of her voice. Sunil-da played on the harmonium or piano, both of which he played with just one finger. We watched with admiration and un-understanding. To me it seemed miraculous how he just watched the dancer and produced the right, suitable music. (Sunil-da was a ...
... genius and what is my opinion worth — for the Mother herself said of Sunil-da: “He is a genius.” Sunil-da was born in Krishnanagar, Bengal, on the 3 of November 1920. Father a doctor (Homoeopath), mother, Anil the elder brother, Minnie the elder sister and Sunil formed a close and well-knit family. The father loved young Sunil and Sunil was very attached to the father. As a boy, he did what boys did... Sunil Among the Not So Great Sunil-Da (A Snowy High Kanchenjunga) “Saints and poets are hills touched with the dawn whilst the valley is in darkness.” Austin O’Malley I may add to the above saints and poets a third category, that of musicians and composers — for Sunil-da was both, with a good bit of “saint” thrown in. Here... Bañtul took no such liberties — he was more like an ordinary cat. Now back to Sunil-da. Sunil-da took honours in chemistry. This information is quite irrelevant, for he could have shone in any subject he chose to and also in the sports he took up, and of course in the music he composed (that poured out through him). Sunil-da was of a solid and proportionate build, with enough weight and strength ...
... other times than this once. But it was one that Sunil-da happened to attend and I too was there. Many aired many ideas and opinions, some longish rallies of points and counter points enlivened the proceedings. Suddenly after some discussions, Pavitrada looked at Sunil-da and asked, “Et, Sunil, que dites-vous?” (And Sunil what have you to say?) Sunil-da smiled and: “Oh! moi?...moi?” (Oh! Me? Me?)..... and inconspicuous as he. Dr. Venkataraman and Sunil-da were great friends, of a kind, they developed a great kinship). Now Sunil-da wanted us (the class) to attend these lectures. He said it would do our brains some good. He sent me to seek Pavitrada’s permission for our class to attend. Pavitrada said “No, no, it will be too difficult for you.” But Sunil-da was insistent, he said, “No, no, go ask him... Sunil Among the Not So Great The Sundial (This is again an aside story.) Before constructing the sundial, there was the question of design. It was not meant to be a ‘carry-around’ clock. It stood about 2.50m or more high.

... started walking with me away from the stage, towards where Sunil-da was standing all by himself. Still holding my hand, She took me to him and asked, "From where did you find this music?" Sunil-da kept quiet. The Mother kept looking at Sunil-da in a deeply loving way. Then, She went into Her room in the Playground. The Mother called both Sunil-da and me separately to Her room. She gave me some flowers... (devotion) and aspiration. She had requested Sunil to compose the music. For the first part of the dance on bhakti, the music was more in the traditional Indian style. But even while being traditional, Sunil-da's originality shone through the melody unmistakably. Those who had participated in its realisation were: Debu and Manoj on the sitar, Anil-da (Sunil-da's elder brother) and Bacchu on the sarod... flute and Sunil-da himself on the harmonium. The musical composition on bhakti was extremely sweet and melodious. However, since I was accustomed to this kind of Indian orchestral music, it was not very difficult for me to choreograph my dance on it. In fact, I was able to do it quite effortlessly. Then came the second part, aspiration. On the first day, I was quite stunned to listen to Sunil-da's music ...

Across the path of the divine Event The huge foreboding mind of Night, alone In her unlit temple of eternity, Lay stretched immobile upon Silence' merge. There was no dance with these lines, just Sunil-da's... ready for the offering. The gong sounded at the appointed hour, 8 o'clock. Sunil-da's music filled the auditorium and the Mother's voice resounded: It was the hour before the Gods awake... Tej-da's marvellous play of lights followed by the Mother's voice once again and then again Sunil-da's music echoed in the air. Then, the play of lights brought the stage alive... as the concluding lines from Savitm' were heard in the Mother's voice. This combined with Sunil-da's music and Tej-da's lights brought an otherworldly feeling to the Earth as the six Seasons circled around her. And against a light-blue golden backdrop the curtains gently closed to the sweeping uplift of Sunil-da's brilliant composition. The curtains were now drawn and silence reigned for ...

Sunil Bhattacharya, Jhumur’s uncle and the well-known composer and musician in the Ashram, was also a gifted astrologer.

I could still feel the presence of Millie-di. It was the same with Sunil as people still visit his music studio, buy his tapes and his beautiful music was heard wafting sweetly past my ears as I sat waiting for you on the verandah. It was a happy feeling. Will you speak about your uncle, Sunil Bhattacharya and his music? He taught himself to play sitar.

So I have decided to say "No" for January 1st. But I will see if Sunil couldn't prepare something on the theme of next year's message, something that would be recorded and played for everyone, in an anonymous way—no need to say, "It's... sure, you say to yourself, "After all..." But this also ( Mother smiles ) is the Supreme's way of doing things—I can see that very clearly. ( A little later, regarding the music composed by Sunil on the theme of "The Hour of God": ) It begins with something he calls "aspiration"—oh, it's beautiful!...

Anyhow, I asked Sunil, "What is this, Sunil - what have you done ?" He stared, he didn't understand. "Sunil, you haven't obeyed the shastra vachan, 63 what is this ?

An excursion was proposed to the Gingy Hills, and my "botanician" 61 , mathematician and musician friend, Sunil, put my name on the list without telling me. The list went to the Mother. She pored over the list and stopped at my name, and She said (I didn't know it then, I was told later): "Can he climb the hills... we began to mount the hill, some poor-looking butterflies and dark, black bees began to hum, began to buzz, began to flutter around the pretty flower. I thought, what should be done ? I said, "See Sunil, what will you do now?" Then at last we made a plot - secretly. We put the pretty maiden under the charge of Batti. You see, I am not exaggerating: there was a lot of trouble, there indeed was a lot ...
... and direction were by Anu-ben and the music was by Sunil-da. In those days, Sunil-da's music still had echoes of traditional Indian motifs. Although the new strains had not yet come into his ken, his music invariably had a distinct originality which was most enchanting. Anu-ben's dance choreography was ready and we had begun rehearsing with Sunil-da's music. As the slaying of the Asuras was the central... but one prayer repeating itself: "Mahakali! Compassionate Mahakali! Come down, O Mother!" The clock struck eight. The gong sounded for the curtains to be drawn. The dance started with the strains of Sunil-da's music. I was to enter the stage a little later. I sat totally concentrated in the wings awaiting my cue. Now it was my turn to go on stage. With two striding leaps I landed on the stage with great... one of the slain demons. Then, slowly the four aspects of the Mother came on to the stage and stood around Mother Durga - Maheshwari, Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, Mahasaraswati. The concluding strains of Sunil-da's music had uplifted the atmosphere with such sweeping beauty and emotion that I find it difficult to describe and impossible to forget.

What this morning's music expressed was a sort of ascent of aspiration... will play the pedals, and I'll play the keys! If something comes, you can use it and do me some music for the 1st. And then, instead of recording here, we'll record your affair for everybody! (Sunil:) What you are going to play now I'll keep. No! I'm not playing—I'll just pretend to! With that you will do something. You understand? Maybe nothing at all will come! I can't say. This morning ...

Teach them classical music. Classical music has never done any harm to anyone. Try it out." At once, on getting this advice from Sunil-da, I got down to implementing it.
