Arjit Singh - 'Rihaa'
Cutest stop-frame animation to go with Arjit's song 'Rihaa' which is a prayer for the liberation from ignorance. A few people could use this right now!"It is a prayer which is sung on behalf of all human beings. May we be aware that we are the master of our body and mind. May we be conscious enough to use our own body and mind to do our jobs towards the well-being of the world and all life forces. May we be in search of the real self which is free from all misery. May we fall in love with everything or the absolute, the higher self. It is a song to pray to the absolute so we travel from the darkest ignorance to the light of truth and be complete. May we liberate." - Arjit Singh#arjitsingh #rihaa #prayer #hindi #bengali orylonmusic #jeeni #music #musicians #entertainer #independent #indiemusic #electronicmusic #keyboards #synthmusic #singersongwriter #musicvideo #animation #musicfest #community #talent #unsigned #creatives #fans #superfans
