Vidyanjali graduate Shefali Bakre stars in music video

Vidyanjali & HTR graduate Shefali Bakre was recently featured in a new music video titled "Mann Ke Andar" which released in October 2024.

The Noetic Nook production "Mann Ke Andar," is a song of self-inquiry written by Parveen Minocha and composed by Sudha Subbaraman. This soothing piece invites listeners on a journey of inner peace, drawing on the contemplative essence of Raag Kalavati. Encouraging the listener to transcend external conflicts and connect with the divinity within, "Mann Ke Andar" is inspired by the spiritual teachings of Shri Om Prakash Bindra. The song combines traditional Raga-based Hindustani music with live orchestration, featuring flute, tabla, sitar, acoustic and bass guitars.

The verse "Tujhe mein na samjhun, tujhe mein na jaanoon, jo apne andar mein na jhaankoon" — I will not understand or know you until I look within myself — highlights the realization that inner peace comes from self-awareness.

Sudha Subbaraman’s vocals are calm and deeply expressive, drawing listeners into the song's introspective mood. The choreography by Prerana Patil and Nikita Minocha beautifully conveys its message, guiding the character on a journey of self-discovery. Performing artist Shefali Bakre is stunning in her portrayal of the pursuit of self-inquiry and eternal bliss. Directors Deepa Jacob and Jaison K Jose have worked magic behind the lens, capturing the essence of the piece.

Parveen recalls how her father, Shri Om Prakash Bindra, sparked the inspiration for "Mann Ke Andar" with his hand-drawn sketch illustrating the relationship between the mind, the soul, the body, and the five senses. She hopes the melodies and lyrics of this song will guide viewers/listeners on a path of introspection and spiritual awakening, reminding them of the boundless potential within. #selfdiscovery #spirituality #inspirational
