Kaya to render devotional songs

Kaya will soon be travelling to Rajasthan for a one-of-its-kind programme on Swami Vivekananda. Organised by IQF and

Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama

— Khetri, the event, Vivek Chintan, will be celebrated on February 3. Khetri, it’s said, played an important role in Swami Vivekananda’s life. At one point in time, he came to Khetri and met Maharaja Ajit Singh. Ajit Singh became a close friend and disciple of Swami Vivekananda, who lent him monetary support and encouraged him to speak at the Parliament of the World’s Religions at

Chicago

in 1893. This year’s programme demanded a versatile artistic group and the organisers promptly got in touch with them. “It’s an honour,” said Arindom of Kaya. The band will be performing Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda’s devotional songs in Hindi on this occasion.
