RAMAM BHAJE – A Musical Celebration of Lord Rama
A Multi-genre, Multi-language, Musical Fundraiser Concert
The Concert
Ramam Bhaje is an immersive devotional concert that invites audiences to connect with the timeless virtues embodied by Lord Rama. Through soul-stirring music, evocative visual storytelling, and profound reflections, the programme will bring to life Rama’s essence as the embodiment of dharma, and inspire all who seek a deeper understanding of the Ramayana’s eternal teachings.
At its core, Ramam Bhaje celebrates Lord Rama as the eternal embodiment of dharma and the guiding light of sanatana dharma – an ideal that represents righteousness, compassion and virtue. This concert brings to life the profound lessons of Lord Rama’s journey, as narrated in the Ramayana, a sacred itihasa and maha kavya.
During this 90-minute concert, renowned vocalist Kum. Sooryagayathri, accompanied by a talented ensemble of musicians, will perform traditional bhajans and compositions, including works by our beloved Founder, Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati, and other revered poets. Accompanying the music will be a dynamic visual portrayal of the Ramayana, designed by Sri. Gyandev Singh, which will weave a captivating narrative of Lord Rama’s journey. The immersive experience transcends linguistic and cultural boundaries, as it engages the audience’s senses and emotions, and unites diverse communities in shared reverence.
This musical production is curated and presented by AIM for Seva as part of its 25th Silver Jubilee Anniversary Celebrations across India. All proceeds from the event will support SWAMI DAYANANDA KRUPA HOME, a residential facility for adult men with developmental delays.
