It has songs to certainly rock the soul itself, as it is dedicated especially to Hema's beloved Guru Sri Ravi Shankarji's Art of Living Foundation, where in even her personal fee for the album will go towards charity. |

The whole album rocks with pure, intense and unexplored ENERGY in a manner as never before. |

Sunny Ali (based in Hong Kong) has composed and written three of the songs in the album. Hycinth D'Souza has designed the music arrangement. Rajesh Raj Bhat worked on the percussions. |

The mentionable highlight of the album is that while making it with the deepest dedication, these four Artistes happily realized that coincidently or by sheer good faith, according to worldly norms they belonged to four different religions, namely, Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and Buddhism. |
