Begin het nieuwe jaar met muziek en ontspanning voor de allerkleinsten. Hoe eerder jonge kinderen in aanraking komen met betekenisvolle muziek, hoe beter het is voor de algemene ontwikkeling van het kind. Zwangere vrouwen zijn ook van harte welkom om dit programma bij te wonen.
Voel je kind in de buik bewegen op eeuwenoude rustgevende muziek. Of laat je baby, dreumes & peuter op een speelse manier kennis maken met Vedische hymnen. Speciaal voor Yoga Nidra wordt de monumentale ruimte van de Nieuwe Kerk omgetoverd tot een muzikaal paradijs. Hier kunnen alle kleintjes samen met (groot)ouders/verzorgers genieten van een gezellige mantraconcert. Stilzitten mag, maar hoeft niet! Alle kindjes kunnen onbekommerd springen, dansen en meedoen. Speciaal voor dit programma vliegen zangers en componist Aks en Lakshmi over uit Los Angeles (USA). De mantra’s die Aks & Lakshmi zingen, zijn herkenbare korte verzen zoals ‘Jai Jai Shiv Shambho’, ‘Gayatri Mantra’, ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna’, ’Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya’.

A spiritual experience in a historic setting
The historic Pelgrimvaderskerk in Rotterdam was the setting of a spiritual experience when composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Manish Vyas enchanted the audience with the singing of mantras. Together with his bandmembers Hindol en Ojas, he brought the audience to a higher state during this ninety minute concert. Except for the clapping between the songs, you could hear a pin drop during his songs. This was a night that will keep resonating in the hearts of the audience.

The opening of the Holland India Muziek Festival was conducted with the excellent concert: Pancha Tattva. Artists from The Netherlands, Aura Rascón (bansuri), Prewien Pandohi-Mishre (vocals), Avi Kishna (sarod) and Yama Sarshar (tabla) brought us an ode to Mother Earth. Pancha Tattva (the 5 elements) stand for Earth, Water, Air, Ether and Fire. Every musical instrument represents one of these elements and the final part was a harmonious combining of all the instruments and singing where it ended with Fire as the grand finale.
