Greetings dearest gentle readers and music fans, let’s welcome Ananda Xenia Shakti and Love Power the Band to our digital space. Ananda Xenia Shakti and Love Power the Band are thrilled to debut their brilliant new song and its music video, “Hare Hare Dance,” a joyful celebration of Bhakti Yoga and the cosmic festival of life. The video was released on the 6th of April, let’s get into the details of the song and video

The song opens with this beautiful and ethereal Indian sound and with the video, viewers can see Ananda, decked out in her Indian attire, singing her heart out. The song is a stirring rendition of the Maha Mantra—a mantra renowned for its powerful vibration that awakens the soul’s innate love for Creation. When combined with the recurring chant of “Radhe Radhe” throughout the song, which adds the divine feminine grace of Radha, the video captures the essence of divine love and the transformative power of Bhakti Yoga. The video starts with Ananda in a singing booth, recording the song.

The video then shows various shots of Ananda gleefully dancing. The video then shows her, laying flowers into a river, and then, the beat drops. We then see various shots of Ananda dancing, in a boat, in front of the temple and her dancing at some sort of function with people watching. After various shots of her dancing, we see her showing off her attire to an Indian man and then we see more shots of her dancing in front of the temple, in the recording booth, at the function, playing a tiny piano, and dancing in a boat. The rest of the video are shots of her dancing, images of her at a function, standing at the river bank, meditating, and more and more dancing. The video ends with pictures of Ananda when she visited India, more dancing and the video ends

The video was created after a long journey that included surviving terrible weather conditions and the strains of a hot Indian summer. It is a gift to humanity, a powerful reminder that living in and with joy is the ultimate driver for our collective growth into the New Earth.” Hare Hare Dance,” was filmed on the sacred banks of the Yamuna river in Vrindavan. It is more than just a music video; it’s a sensual trip through cultures and time. The tranquil, historic ambiance of Vrindavan, the home of Radha and Krishna’s holy romance, sets the stage for a visual feast that combines traditional Bhakti Yoga traditions with Ecstatic Dance Toronto’s modern exuberance. The interwoven film from Toronto’s Celebration of Life emphasizes the universal nature of joy and oneness, blurring the lines between East and West, past and present.

This video which combines ancient, holy, and modern forms of dance and celebration, is a genuine invitation to feel the waking force of love, music, and oneness. This was a beautiful example of the celebration of culture rather than the appropriation of it. This is proof that music transcends borders and culture. I loved the radiation of love I felt when I watched this video. This was a fantastic video and I can’t wait to hear more music from the Ananda and the band.
