Culture Connect- Get the world to taste India
UK's Tanya Wells sings the yoga invocation at the UN International Yoga Day 2016
Befitting yoga's global appeal, I was delighted to hear the opening invocation song for the United Nations event being sung by a singer called Tanya Wells, from the UK, accompanied by her band called the Seven Eyes. It was such a reverential and soothing rendition that we wanted to know more about Tanya Wells and her work. Singing effortlessly and so totally immersed in the moment her song made me think- "wow, isn't this truly a culture connect of the best kind". For a singer from a totally different culture, to be able to master the intonations of the language, understand the nuances of meaning and be lost in the mood really pointed to someone who had really tasted India.

Collectively yoga practitioners spread over 100 countries will dedicate themselves to the spirit of what yoga stands for- to join or to unite, symbolizing the union of body and consciousness.
To us at Artikrti, there can be no other unifying symbol of the mingling of our different cultures, as this global event that celebrates yoga.
