Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 30: Recently, musical legend Anup Jalota and his protégé Sumeet Tappoo unveiled their highly anticipated music album ‘Legacy’, with a glittering ceremony at the JW Marriott in Juhu. The event marked the culmination of four decades of a profound guru-shishya relationship that has transcended borders, genres and time.

The evening was graced by an illustrious gathering of celebrities and luminaries from the world of music and cinema, including Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, Hinduja family, Anuradha Paudwal, Jaspinder Narula, Talat Aziz, Pt. Bhavdeep Jaipurwale, Penaz Masani and A. Balasubramanian (MD, Aditya Birla Group), along with Ashok Khosla, Chandan Dass, Ghanshyam Vaswani, Pratibha Singh Baghel, Anveshi Jain, Vipin Aneja, Akriti Kakar, Meenal Jain, Sudeep Banerji, Ram Shankar, Kshitij Wagh, Priyanka Vaidya, Mayuresh Pai, Sraboni Chaudhuri, Narayan Agarwal and many others.

Legacy is a symphonic celebration of seven tracks spanning classical, devotional, spiritual, ghazal, Sufi and geet genres. It is a tribute to the enduring power of music and the sacred guru-shishya bond.

Speaking at the event, Bhajan Samrat Anup Jalota reminisced about the origins of his relationship with Sumeet Tappoo. “I’ll never forget my first trip to Fiji, where I met Sumeet’s family. Young Sumeet, a toddler then, attended all my concerts, soaking in the music. I saw in him a spark, a connection that was unmistakable. Today, witnessing his growth as a world-class artist fills me with immense pride,” said Jalota.

Sumeet Tappoo, visibly moved, expressed his heartfelt gratitude. “Meeting Anupji was life-changing. The bond we share is not confined to this lifetime — it feels eternal. This album, ‘Legacy,’ is a reflection of the guidance, love, and inspiration he has given me. This album is unique in many ways and I am sure it will enthrall music lovers the world over.”

The album’s tracks exemplify the duo’s unparalleled artistry. Highlights include “Chaturang,” a classical gem rooted in the Shyam Chaurasi Gharana, and “Prabhuji Tum Chandan Hum Paani,” a devotional track enhanced by a live symphony orchestra. The emotional ghazal “Raabta” and the vibrant Sufi track “Meherbaniyan” showcase the duo’s range and harmony. Tracks like “Shaayad” and “Safar” bring contemporary energy, while “Hari,” a meditative offering for world peace, closes the music album on a spiritually uplifting note.

The unveiling ceremony was made even more poignant with the display of a nostalgic photograph from four decades ago, capturing a young Sumeet in the arms of his guru on a sunlit beach in Fiji — a moment that symbolized the start of their extraordinary journey.

‘Legacy’ is more than an album — it is a timeless celebration of music, devotion and an unbreakable bond. As Anup Jalota and Sumeet Tappoo bring their opus to the world, they invite listeners to experience a symphony of emotions, a testament to the beauty of tradition and evolution in music.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 27: Towering over 70 feet tall, Mumbai’s cherished Christmas tree in Worli stands as India’s tallest fully decorated natural Christmas tree, a beacon of festive cheer and community spirit. What began as just another decorated Christmas tree became an enduring tribute to family love and a symbol of hope, following a heartfelt promise made by Douglas Saldanha to his sister, Twila Saldanha, who passed away from cervical cancer in 2005. One of her last wishes was to see the tree “so beautifully decorated it could be seen from the heavens.” Each year since, Douglas has kept his promise, transforming the tree from tip to toe into a radiant holiday landmark.

For over 50 years, Douglas and his family have lovingly tended to this towering pine tree at MIG Adarsh Nagar CHS in Worli, which has become an annual sight eagerly anticipated by Mumbai residents and visitors alike. Each holiday season, Douglas adorns the tree with thousands of sparkling lights, ornaments, and vibrant decorations, starting with Diwali-themed lights, transitioning to Christmas and New Year, and culminating with a display in the colors of India’s national flag for Republic Day. This stunning display lasts for three months, drawing visitors from across the city and beyond to experience the magic of the holidays.

Beyond the grandeur of its lights and decorations, what truly sets this Christmas tree apart is Douglas’s dedication to community. Every Christmas Eve, he hosts a celebration for underprivileged children from nearby slums. He opens his heart and the grounds around the tree, offering children a day filled with games, gifts, and warm meals. Santa Claus joins in the festivities, giving the children a chance to take photos and experience the joy of Christmas—an experience they might not otherwise have. This annual event, funded largely by Douglas’s personal contributions, is occasionally supported by friends and neighbors who donate gifts or volunteer their time.

This year, in the spirit of giving, Douglas invites the city’s denizens from across communities and religions to join him in making the children’s Christmas celebration even more special. Contributions, no matter how small, can make a big difference for the children and further brighten the holiday season for all. Come spread the love.

“We see this as more than just a tree—it’s a place for people of all backgrounds to come together, where children can experience the magic of Christmas, and where the spirit of giving shines brightest,” Douglas shares. “Our goal every year is to spread a message of hope, unity, kindness, and peace with everyone who visits.”

The public is welcome to visit the Christmas tree from Diwali through Republic Day. This iconic tree is a popular gathering spot for families, friends, and tourists who come to celebrate, take photographs, and make memories that last a lifetime. Located at MIG Adarsh Nagar CHS in Worli, the tree stands tall as a symbol of Mumbai’s resilience, joy, and the power of community.

Let’s make this holiday season a time of warmth, joy, and unity across the city—Mumbai style. Reach out to Douglas for any Further Queries.

Thanjavur (Tamil Nadu) [India], December 27: Renowned spiritual leader and Ramcharitmanas exponent, Morari Bapu, delivered a profound message about the essence of bhajan.

Addressing the Manas Hari Bhajan Ramkatha in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, on Wednesday, Morari Bapu said, “All the resources and rituals of the world involve effort. If there is rest anywhere, it is only in bhajan. Bhajan is not a ritual. I keep saying this repeatedly – bhajan is not a means to an end. Bhajan is not a path, it is the destination.”

Drawing from his personal experiences, Morari Bapu said, “As Goswami ji says, Payo Param Vishram (I have found ultimate rest). This bhajan provides true rest.”

He acknowledged the importance of rituals like chanting, penance, fasting and charity, calling them auspicious practices but noted their limitations. He said that these practices, while valuable, can also lead to exhaustion. He said that even maintaining silence, for example, may eventually leave one wondering how long to continue amidst criticisms and challenges.

Morari Bapu highlighted that the mind can experience fatigue from worldly endeavours, but the ultimate rest lies in bhajan.

“In my vocabulary, certain words hold divine significance, and among them, bhajan is a profound and beloved divine word,” he said.

Talking about life’s challenges, Morari Bapu urged the audience to seek meaningful solutions rather than indulging in superficial discussions.

“When we talk about resolving problems, whether in our lives, thinking or habits, we must focus on real solutions. Seek the guidance of a Sadguru (wise or enlightened teacher), but do not engage in trivial talk,” he advised.

In his address, Morari Bapu also spoke about the spiritual significance of Christmas and paid his tributes to former PM Ayala Bihari Vajpayee and Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya on their birth anniversaries. He also spoke about global warming and the importance of tree plantation.

Morari Bapu has devoted his entire life to spreading the teachings of Lord Rama and the Ramayana. The ongoing Ramkatha in Thanjavur is his 948th katha in his six-decades-long spiritual journey. His timeless messages of truth, love and compassion resonate deeply with crores of people worldwide.

New Delhi [India], December 26: In a historic event at the sacred land of Kurukshetra, 500 NRI students from across the globe came together to recite the entire 700 verses of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita. Organized under the divine guidance of Sri Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji, the revered head of Avadhoota Datta Peetham, Mysuru, this Gita Parayana Yagna marked a monumental occasion of spiritual unification.

Over 50 countries were represented by the global devotee community of Swamiji, who gathered at the Punjabi Dharamshala in Kurukshetra to celebrate the universal teachings of the Gita. For the first time, expatriate Indians participated in a collective recitation of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita on the divine soil of Kurukshetra, commemorating the timeless wisdom of this sacred text.

The Honorable Governor of Haryana, Shri Bandaru Dattatreya, graced the event, emphasizing the Gita’s universal relevance. “The Bhagavad Gita is not just a holy scripture for Hindus but a guiding light for the entire world,” said the Governor in his address.

Earlier this year, Sri Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji orchestrated a similar event on the occasion of Guru Purnima in Chicago, where 10,000 participants joined in the recitation of the Bhagavad Gita. Swamiji’s consistent efforts to propagate the principles of Sanatana Dharma have included grand recitations of the Hanuman Chalisa and the Gita in several countries across the United States and Europe.

Swamiji’s spiritual initiatives have also set remarkable records. In 2015, over 100,000 devotees gathered in Tenali to chant the Hanuman Chalisa, earning a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. Additionally, Swamiji’s Music for Healing concert at the Sydney Opera House in the same year and a continuous 24-hour chanting event at the Karya Siddhi Hanuman Temple in Texas have also been recognized by Guinness World Records.

Born in 1942 in South India, Sri Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji embraced the Dattatreya tradition and underwent years of intense spiritual practice, attaining the state of an Avadhoota. He established the Avadhoota Datta Peetham in Mysuru, which now has branches and temples in over 50 countries. Swamiji is renowned for blending the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita with the Dattatreya philosophy, emphasizing spiritual unity through music, environmental conservation, and devotion.

This extraordinary event further underscores Swamiji’s mission to inspire millions across the globe, fostering cultural harmony and spiritual enlightenment.

New Delhi [India], December 24: Office & You (O&Y), the wave-making fashion brand from the house of Varija Lifestyles that has been changing the narrative around women’s workwear in India, is excited to announce its expansion into Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand & Indonesia). For the brand reinventing workwear for women, this is a step towards empowering them across the region by offering them stylish, functional, and impressive workwear that supports their ambitions and success.

Office & You Announces Expansion, Bringing A New Era For Women In Leadership In Southeast Asia

The corporate landscape across Southeast Asia is not the same as a decade back. Women today are no longer confined to traditional roles—they are breaking barriers, leading industries, and shattering glass ceilings. Unfortunately, the fashion industry has not kept up with the pace of this transformation. While workwear options for men are retailed in every nook and corner, women still are inhibited by the limited and monotonous available options. This is where O&Y steps in.

“We realised that while women in Southeast Asia are redefining what success looks like, their workwear options have often been limited to traditional, uncomfortable, and unreflective choices”, says Varija Bajaj, a renowned Indian fashion designer and founder of Office & You. “Our goal is to give every woman the confidence to walk into a room and command respect without compromising on style or comfort. Workwear for women until now has been either stylish or functional. With our goal of never having to compromise, we have brought the two together,” Varija Bajaj adds. “We juxtaposed our creations with the lives of today’s ambitious women—from presenting in a boardroom, running a meeting, to closing deals. With over two decades of experience, we have mastered the techniques of skin colour balance and figure corrections through garment construction and technical textiles. We want to bring this immense learning to South East Asian women now.”

Bringing Empowerment Through Fashion to the Table

Imagine as a corporate leader meeting the board of directors and confidence hitting the floor because your clothes decided to look shabby. Enter O&Y’s workwear, a powerful tool for women to feel confident and ready to take on the world. It blends sophisticated, timeless designs with the modern functionality that today’s ambitious women require. From the classic pencil skirt reimagined in luxurious fabric to the first-of-its-kind corporate/formal saree line that marries contemporary prints with traditional elegance, O&Y ensures that women feel uninhibited and stylish, no matter the occasion.

“As women continue to break boundaries in the workplace, they deserve clothing that reflects their strength and versatility”, says Akhil Kumar Srivastava, Chairman of SBM Bharti Services, a strategic partner at Office & You South East Asia.  “We are thrilled to bring O&Y to Southeast Asia, where the demand for fashion that fortifies women is growing rapidly. I believe our offerings will resonate deeply with women here who value both quality and style,” adds Srivastava

Office & You has been built on non-negotiable values of quality, innovation, and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. These ethics have been central to the brand’s growth and success in its home country, and O&Y is ready to bring this same level of excellence to the Southeast Asian market.
