Santoor maestro Rahul Sharma releases yoga anthem on International Yoga Day
June 21, 2018It is often said that yoga is not an exercise, but a state of mind. The Bhagavad Gita describes it as a journey of the self, through the self, to the self. And santoor maestro Rahul Sharma’s latest single Yug O’ Vision proves that and much more.
Released by Times Music, Yug O’ Vision is not just a song — it’s an anthem dedicated to yoga — with foot-tapping soothing music composed by Rahul Sharma with the number sung with gusto by Siddharth Basrur.
What’s more! The song is composed in collaboration with the oldest yoga institute run by Dr Hansa Jaydev which is completing a landmark of 100 years. The video features Rahul Sharma performing on his santoor along with an electrifying dance performance by Barkha Sharma and students of the yoga institute.
The easy-listening number could not have got a more timely release than on the occasion of the International Yoga Day and World Music Day this week. Surely a track which would make our yog-practicing-and-propagating prime minister Narendra Modi and all Indians as well as international practitioners of yoga feel proud.
