Vaishnava Harmonium, Ramanujacharya Das

This book is especially meant for the members of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Its purpose is to teach them how to sing and platy the harmonium according to what has come to be known as the North Indian or Hindustani system of music. In India there are two main systems of classical music, the Karnatic or South Indian system and the Hindustani or North Indian system. The three main places of pilgrimage for the Gaudiya Vaisnavas, Vrndavan, Mayapur and Jagannath Puri, are all located in areas where the North Indian system if followed. More importantly though, our acaryas used this system of music. We shall therefore learn Indian music according to this system.
