​A digital initiative featuring 8 songs in audio and video format, will pay a befitting tribute to 8 rebel poets of India who sang for reform and dignity of the human soul.  Selected poetry of each saint from a different state of India, rendered in different Indian languages, will be set to new music, arranged, produced and performed by the most promising and upcoming talent of the country. 

 

Singing in ecstasy to connect with divinity has been a valuable tradition prevalent in India.  The 12th century ‘Bhakti’ movement unified India culturally and aesthetically more than any political movement.  Addressing people in their own native language, REFORM was at the heart of its conscience and human dignity was its appeal.  It transcended barriers of caste, religion, and social class.  India’s remarkable spirituality asserts that saints, not soldiers, were and are history’s most lauded heroes.
