He composed a total of 5,018 songs, lyrics and melody, over a period of eight years from 1982 until his death in 1990. Most songs are in Bengali, while some others are in Hindi, English, Sanskrit, Urdu, Aithili and Angika.

Sarkar created the Ananda Marga organization in 1955 and founded, in 1973, Ananda Marga Publications, to translate and distribute his work and philosophy. Another Ananda Marga-affiliated group, the Renaissance Artists and Writers Association (RAWA), has sponsored several performances and recordings of selected songs.
