Music is the language of the soul, espoused Spirit of India, a glorious musical evening held on December 13 by Chinmaya Mission Mumbai.
The melodious evening set the tone for a week-long celebration, Chinmaya Ananda Utsav from December 13 to 20. The event was kick-started by none the less, Sonu Nigam’s soulful musicals reverberated at the Sri Shanmukhananda Chandrasekarendra Saraswati Auditorium in the presence of an audience that represented India’s true diversity. Sonu’s wide array of genres from pop, bhajans, patriotic numbers, and traditional chants to some modern tunes… echoed across the quintessential Shanmukhananda Hall and took everyone on an unparalleled spiritual voyage.
True to its name, ‘Spirit of India’ proved to be a platform that unified under one roof: India’s youth, professionals, entrepreneurs, devout acharyas, members and trustees of various Chinmaya Mission Trusts, and luminaries of India’s business world.
The event dedicated to Swami Chinmaya served to be a musical evening with a pure cause attached to it. The funds which were raised through the event will be utilized for conducting free workshops on ‘transforming Indians to transform India’ for students and colleges. These proceeds will also be used to offer Chinmaya Transformation Scholarships to deserving students for education and farmers’ relief in Maharashtra.
