Eight renowned artists to perform live at the week-long event from Jan 25 in Hyderabad
Heartfulness is bringing to Hyderabad one-of-a-kind Kanha Music Festival that will see eight legendary Indian music maestros perform live to mark the 150th birth anniversary celebrations of Adi Guru of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, Lalaji Maharaj, at Kanha Shanti Vanam, the Heartfulness Headquarters. An exhibit of the Inner Peace Museum would also be unveiled on the occasion.
The week-long mega-festival of classical music, to be held from 25th January to 3rd February 2023, would be attended by over 100,000 participants from different parts of the world, with millions joining online.
Eight internationally renowned artists, including Rahul Sharma, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Ustad Rashid Khan, Sudha Raghunathan, Shashank Subramanyam, Kaushiki Chakraborty, and Sanjeev Abhyankar will perform live on stage as part of Kanha Music Festival.
The event is supported by Forests by Heartfulness, Govt. of Telangana, TV9, JioSaavn, RadioCity, and many more.
Said Kamlesh Patel ‘Daaji’: “This special occasion marks the 150th birth anniversary of Lalaji Maharaj, by whose blessings the Shri Ram Chandra Mission is promoting an evolution of human consciousness and serving mankind. Our idea of bringing music maestros to the celebrations is to invoke the divine within through music. I am very happy that the Govt. of Telangana and other partner organizations have come forward with their support in this regard and help make the event a grand success.”
He added, “We must create inner peace in order to bring about world peace.”
In the past too, many artists of repute have come forward to support the vision of Heartfulness: the violinist duo Ganesh-Kumaresh rendered a fund-raising concert for Forests by Heartfulness, just as Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia enthralled his audiences for the cause of green cover, while singer duo Ranjani-Gayatri rendered a music recital at Lalaji Memorial Omega International School, in Chennai.
The Inner Peace Museum brings together professional artists from India and Germany, art students from The Dresden Academy of Fine Arts in collaboration with the City of Dresden and the Heartfulness Institute. The various bodies of work (paintings, sculptures, installations and artworks) in the exhibit depict glimpses of Lalaji’s life and teachings which inspire inner peace. The museum is open to visitors on all days except Mondays between 10am-1pm and 2pm-5pm.
The exhibit of the Inner Peace Museum at Kanha Shanti Vanam will be unveiled by Kamlesh Patel ‘Daaji’ – the Guide of Heartfulness. The other dignitaries present will be Gopichand Pullela – Chief National Coach, India National Badminton Team; Tanya Maniktala – Indian Actress; Christian Macketanz – Professor, Dresden Academy of Fine Arts, Germany; Brigitte Smith – Artist, Germany; Meena Sai – Director & Curator, Inner Peace Museum; and Leo-Constantin Fischer – Artist and Art Therapist, Dresden, Germany; and Sudha Reddy – Director MEIL, Sudha Reddy Foundation Chairperson, and Chairperson to Sri Bhusametha Venkateswara Temple.
