About Meherkaren Sings (www.meherkaren.com)
Spiritual music is the universal language of love that can unite people's hearts. When cultures meet and barriers breakdown, innocents suffer while opponents fight for a misunderstanding of God. To bring down the unity of God's love for all His children in creation, devotional music serves to bring a new understanding of cultures for world peace faster than words because music reaches heart and soul. Divine music by-passes the intellect-ego differences of gender, caste, language, religion, nationality, or creed. People dance in joy when they hear saints and masters passionate lyrics in devotion to God with lovely melodies and rhythms. The exchange of love between hearts gives such bliss and joy that fosters peace faster than any other form of communication.
