“We do not say there are many gods. We do not say there is one God. We say there is ONLY God.” These profound words of Swami Dayananda Saraswati have been the inspiration for this uniquely presented concert. Bhāvaye Paramātmānam is our 2020 donor appreciation event and is dedicated to Swami Dayananda Saraswati, AIM for Seva’s founder, on his 90th jayanti this year. He firmly believed in the validity of all cultures, and exhorted everyone to preserve and celebrate the diverse forms.
Bhāvaye Paramātmānam is a confluence of music, dance and languages. Seven top-performing artists from the field of classical music and dance have come together to celebrate the great master and his vision.
