In a groundbreaking fusion of ancient spirituality and contemporary rhythm, the India Fine Arts Council (IFAC) has announced the release of a unique devotional rap song by Haresh Mehta, dedicated to the revered Siddha Guru, Bhagwan Nityanand of Ganeshpuri.
The launch event held in Mumbai was graced by world-renowned dancer and choreographer Sandip Soparrkar, who served as the Chief Guest, celebrating this innovative bridge between traditional faith and modern musical expression.
A Spiritual Legacy Reimagined
Bhagwan Nityanand (1897–1961), widely regarded as a “born enlightened” master, continues to inspire millions. His teachings, rooted in inner awareness and purity, found their home in Ganeshpuri, Maharashtra. Today, that legacy is being reimagined for a new generation.
A Heartfelt Creative Offering by Haresh Mehta
Conceptualized, written, and performed by Haresh Mehta, President of IFAC, the project is a deeply personal labor of love.
This project is a fusion of devotion and creativity,” Mehta shares. “Having visited the Ganeshpuri Dham regularly for over 30 years, I wanted to translate the ‘Shiv-Shakti’ atmosphere of the Samadhi shrine into a medium that speaks to the world today.”
Cinematic Brilliance that defines ‘Dhurandhar – The Revenge’
Produced by Kirtan Creative, the track features modern mixing and high-energy video production designed to captivate listeners who might otherwise lean toward Western genres.
Bridging the Generation Gap
Haresh Mehta explains the inspiration behind choosing Rap as a medium for the divine:
A Lifelong Connection: “For three decades, Ganeshpuri has been my spiritual anchor. Anyone who steps into that sacred space instantly feels an undeniable divine energy.”
Engaging the Youth: “Today’s youth are often mesmerized by Western beats. By using Rap, we are bringing the abundance of Indian spiritual richness to them in a language they enjoy.”
The Message: “Our youth don’t need to look to the West for meditation or devotion. Everything they seek is right here, hidden within our own culture. This song is an invitation to rediscover that.”
