‘Hey Ram’ is our humble offering to Lord Ram’s divine legacy: Kailash Kher


In an era marked by rapid transformation, the timeless essence of spiritual music often serves as a nexus forging unity and reverence among individuals. It was within this context that the recently released devotional song ‘Hey Ram’ has been presented as a respectful nod to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, a solemn and significant ritual inaugurating the much-anticipated Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

Anchoring this homage is singer-composer Kailash Kher, whose emotive vocal rendition extends beyond mere artistry, embracing the profound cultural sentiment of millions. His collaboration with Amruta Fadnavis proffers not only their voices to the spiritual sphere but adds a layer of collective consciousness echoing through the melody.

Curated with meticulous artistry by composer Prini Siddhant Madhav, ‘Hey Ram’ seamlessly weds the spiritual domain with musical mastery, offering a listening experience that encapsulates the fervor of the historic event. The sanctity of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony finds its melodic counterpart in this track, which debuted to coincide with the auspicious event on a recent Monday.

The modest yet poignant approach with which Kher approached this project resonates through his statement: “To contribute to ‘Hey Ram’, a song that pays tribute to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony at Ayodhya’s Ram Temple, was a privilege. Music has the power to unite souls, and this spiritual ode is our humble offering to the divine legacy of Lord Ram.” It is with these words that Kher evokes the unifying spirit of music, suggesting that this song goes beyond entertainment, striving to connect individuals on a profound, spiritual level.

Lyricist Sameer Anjaan’s craft is apparent in the soul-stirring lyrics of ‘Hey Ram’, which articulates the poetry and depth foundational to the piece. The lyrics resonate with the ceremonial gravity and the historical importance, intertwining the listener’s experience with a rich tapestry of cultural heritage and devotion emblematic of Ayodhya’s legacy.

This song is more than an artistic creation; it mirrors the enduring devotion deeply ingrained in the ethos of the city. The spiritual essence of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, marking the consecration of the divine deity within the temple precincts, is not only celebrated but immortalized in the notes and words of ‘Hey Ram’.

Amruta Fadnavis, renowned singer and prominent social activist, shared her personal reflections on being part of this endeavor: “Participating in the ‘Hey Ram’ project was a heartfelt experience. This song transcends musical boundaries, offering a melodic tribute to the significance of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony in Ayodhya.”

Describing the creative journey behind the composition, Prini Siddhant Madhav said: “Creating the composition for ‘Hey Ram’ was a spiritually enriching journey. The aim was to encapsulate the reverence of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony through a harmonious blend of melody and devotion.”

Similarly, Sameer Anjaan, tasked with infusing the song with linguistic beauty and meaning, described his process: “Writing the lyrics for ‘Hey Ram’ was a poetic exploration, aiming to capture the essence of this sacred moment. It’s an ode to the divine legacy of Lord Ram and the cultural tapestry of Ayodhya.”
