Ramam Bhaje is a devotional offering that invites the heart to rest in the virtues of Lord Rama — the quiet strength of dharma, the radiance of compassion, and the timeless grace of sanatana dharma . Through music that stirs the soul and visuals that illuminate the Ramayana’s sacred journey, the concert becomes a gentle doorway into its eternal teachings. Through music that stirs the soul and visuals that illuminate the Ramayana’s sacred journey, the concert becomes a gentle doorway into its eternal teachings.
Kumari Sooryagayathri’s voice — serene, tender, and steeped in bhava — leads the evening, supported by a gifted ensemble performing traditional bhajans and compositions, including those of Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati and other revered poets. As the narrative of Ramayana in dynamic visual form, music and imagery weave together like mantra and meaning, carrying the audience across language and culture into a shared space of reverence.
Sooryagayathri’s soulful singing has been compared to Smt. M.S. Subbulakshmi herself. Learn more about the artists
