The Heartfulness Peace Anthem Launch on International Day Of Peace

The Heartfulness Peace Anthem Launch on International Day Of Peace

India, 30 September 2021: Heartfulness launched the Heartfulness Peace Anthem in continuation to its celebrations around the International Day of Peace. Ricky Kej, Shibani Kashyap, Dr. Nivedita Shreyans (Director-Heartfulness), Rishabh Kothari (Director-Heartfulness) addressed the media and the launch of the anthem.

 

The Heartfulness Peace Anthem composed by Grammy award winner Ricky Kej and renowned vocalist Lonnie Park, and sung by Lonnie Park, heralds the message of peace bringing peoples of the world together. The female voice version has been rendered by Shibani Kashyap.

 

The song reminds us that ‘we are not strangers but neighbours, kindered souls’ and that love only flourishes when you spread it around the world. The beauty of the video is in bringing people of various diversities getting over any discrimination – nationality, caste, creed or gender – and showcases the serenity of the locales in and around the Heartfulness Headquarters ‘Kanha Shanti Vanam’ near Hyderabad. The spectacular visuals, the beautiful children playing on the trampoline carefree, and a diverse group of people chorusing simply drive home one point – global peace.

 

The Peace Anthem has been released across all audio and video platforms with the objective of spreading the message of Heartfulness through music. The song has some Sanskrit woven in the lyrics to emphasise that peace has always been the need from ancient to modern times.

Together we have created a timeless anthem, and hope it inspires compassion, empathy and peace." Lonnie Park added, “I was super-excited with the prospect of doing something for a peace project. After all, what better a medium can there be than music to spread peace. Plus, we had a whale of a time with good folks in putting together the song and video with some stunning visuals.”
