These songs represent Daiviya Sanskriti and take you towards bliss. The current music is mostly Aasuri type.

[MrAlex75062]

why is that old songs tend to bring out that bliss in the self.. is it something to do with the subconscious schemata or was some godly soul voicing out the best lyrics in the melodious sound ever......
