About Sandesh
Mr Atal Behari Vajpayee, Prime Minister of India and charismatic leader of the world’s largest democracy, is renowned for powerful and eloquent speeches characterizing his distinguished public career.
With the unique combination of skills as a poet and politician, Atal Ji, through his poetry, inspires strong messages directly from his heart and soul. These are forever timeless clear calls "SANDESH" or “messages” that appeal to Indians in particular and Humanity in general. In the main, these calls are: to learn from the past, adopt good practices and build a better more peaceful future to achieve a “Universal Family” (Vasudhaiva Kutumbukam) status for this world.
Indians from Australia admire Atal Ji for his political and literary achievements. In particular, Atal Ji’s lyrics have impressed A. R. Alvi, the highly acclaimed Indian Music Composer, Singer, Poet and Artist now residing in Sydney, Australia.
A. R. Alvi has been inspired by "SANDESH" from Atal Ji’s book of poems “Meri Ikyaavan Kavitaayen”. The book has motivated A. R Alvi to set the poems to his music compositions with support from the best vocal artists in Australia.
The selected poems are self-reflections and messages that espouse peace and a better future for the world. This musical CD is a " SANDESH" message presented from Australian-Indians to Atal Ji, as a Gift and a Tribute to his efforts. "SANDESH" is also a first ever "Australian Initiative" of this kind that bonds India and Australia in working together to achieve world peace and togetherness.
