Guru Marie Elangovan will first explain the deeper meaning of the face paint and makeup dancers usually wear during performances. “Which is a spiritual eye which we can’t see, but it is there. And when we apply this red dot here on the forehead, it keeps our spiritual energy inside. So it’s like it tells parts to focus and have greater spiritual power.” “that purity of thoughts, purity of mind, purity of inspiration, so that’s a very important thing for the performance sake. I do believe that being vegetarian contributes to bringing purity of thoughts, more empathy towards the entire creatures on Earth, a sense of peace, feeling of lightness.”

William Butler Yeats continued his discovery of mysticism with lengthy experiments with the help of his wife, who shared his interest in spirituality. She introduced him to automatic writing, in which one lets go of their own conscious intent and writes by channeling their subconsciousness or the spiritual realm. With her assistance, William wrote "A Vision," first published privately in 1925, about occultism and historical cycles. William Butler Yeats concluded that within each 2,000-year era, a civilization could achieve special excellence at the midpoints of the 1,000-year halves.

You must have noticed that, Master is interested in our Concert. You’ve seen just now, how She appreciated the performances by the Morin Khuur Ensemble and Bayartsetseg, who sang Her beautiful song. So, we hope that She will enjoy our next performance as well. Because as I heard, the throat singing, which is underappreciated by us but admired by the world, was highly regarded by Master. We really hope that the Supreme Master will enjoy the next performance, because the next performance originates from the western part of Mongolia and this very unique singing is called “overtone singing” or “dual tonal singing,” literally known as throat singing. In fact, one performer can produce two musical tunes simultaneously.

Lyrics and music by the Supreme Master Ching Hai, “On the Riverbank,” singer Bayartsetseg. I love to sit on the riverbank, looking at the flowing water and hear the songs within…. Composition by the Supreme Master Ching Hai, “Triple melody,” 2nd & 3rd parts, Monrin Khuur Ensemble of Mongolia, conductor Tuvshinsaikan. It’s Artist Day, it’s not Ching Hai Day. You play all my songs, up to now three songs. But thank you for your affection through the music. Thank you. Thank you, Master and we hope You will equally enjoy the next dance performed by tiny dancers from Baganuur, a remote district of Ulaanbaatar. Choreography by Baljinnyam, performance by a children’s dance group called “Dance, Dance.”

Today, we will present two inspiring movies about a family of loyal, hard-working insects: ants! Ants are small, fascinating creatures that can be found almost everywhere in the world.

Here again, we see the virtue of selflessness and teamwork exemplified by our little ant friends.

Styled as a ballad, accompanied by a powerful chorus, “Wake Up” inspires courage to seek truth and hope for a better future.

One could say Oliver Mtukudzi’s mission was to teach through music. A natural philosopher, he used his lyrics, husky voice and his “Tuku” music, to gently guide his fellow African brothers and sisters on many social issues such as poverty, alcohol abuse and HIV/AIDS. His “Tuku” music was a mixture of southern African music traditions, including mbira, mbaqanga, jit and the traditional drumming styles of the Korekore. He influenced four generations in Zimbabwe with his music, lacing his songs with messages about morality, self-respect, happiness and challenges in life, hope and peace.
