Study Hall Educational Foundation in association with SPIC MACAY organized a Sufi recital by the famous Padma Shri Dr. Bharti Bandhu to promote harmony and peace in today’s discordant society through soulful Sufi music.
He mesmerized the audience by striking a chord with the students and teachers alike with the tuneful hymns of Sant Kabir and Rahim. The mellifluous renditions captivated the audience who were in a state of trance. The program began with the rendition of ‘Mann laaga mero yaar fakeeri mein’ and culminated with ‘Chhap tilak sab chheeni tohse naina milake’. The program was a huge success and the audience was mesmerized by the group and demanded an encore.
Sufism is a mystical and ascetic Islam practiced by tens of millions of Muslims. Known as ‘Tasawwuf’ in the Muslim world, in the West it is often erroneously thought of as a separate sect. It was a truly divine experience for all of us when Sufism lifted our spirits up and helped us connect in a larger than life way.
