Roland synthesizer is electronic equipment. Many westerners also voiced their opinion initially that it was not suitable to me. They opined that traditional instruments such as violin, veena, flute and sitar were best suited for my needs. But, I am not always bound by the rules of the traditional classical music. I alter the music. I keep giving new forms to the soulful waves that originate out of my music. Through these soulful waves, I transmit the music deeply into the hearts of the listeners.

Music is not a religion. All religions are embedded into it. It has no castes, divisions or differences. The realization that music gives mental peace is growing among the people. Due to my playing of the Roland, the interest among the westerners towards my music has further increased. They have invited me many times to play for them. Also I find the synthesizer very convenient. I prepare special sound cards and use it in my concerts. The audience can hear a combination of various sounds due to the usage of other instruments such as flute. This combination pulls them towards meditation. This is why I keep requesting the audience to listen with complete concentration.

Swamiji uses the electronic instruments as they produce more sound. They also generate the veena sounds. Sounds of other traditional Indian musical instruments can also be generated in this.
