Divinity 2 is a follow up to the much acclaimed ‘Divinity – a musical odyssey’ which introduced new, instrumental compositions of well-known, much loved, age-old bhajans (Hindu devotional songs).

While it gave those bhajans a new musical focus, DIVINITY 2 covers a range of classical Indian raags that are frequently used in bhajan as well as ‘kirtan’ (Rhythmic utterances of sacred words and texts). Kirtans are usually a choral chant highlighting the significance of many voices chanting as one.

The result is a kind of Unity that emerges from the multiplicity of raags as well as deities suggested through the music. Man has visualised God in many ways and one of the most ancient and enduring ways has been to divide all of God’s attributes into individual deities, some of whom, in turn, become Gods in their own right. Whatever their individual symbolism, by and large they are all descended from that same Unity and man’s sense of oneness that is instrumental to man pursuing his devotional urges.
