This post was for the other two aims of Hinduism success and liberation. I thought that it was easier to find songs for these two aims than the pleasure and community service aims. It took me no time at all really to find the five songs for each of the two aims, and I thought neither aim was more prevalent than the other because I found a lot of songs for both of them. I think thats because of course people like singing about their success but people also like to hear songs with a positive message and about change and people overcoming obstacles. Like I said in my other post I think that the four aims of Hinduism cover just about all of the topics in music. Wavin' Flag by K'naan was used as the song for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and the MGMT song that I chose Time To Pretend is a hypothetical story of what they would do if they became popular and successful.
