Event description

Join us for an enchanting evening of stories, poetry, and live music as we journey along the Silk Road to the majestic courts of the Moghul Empire. This captivating era, which stretched from the vibrant saffron fields of Kashmir to the lush jungles of Bengal, is a testament to the richness of Indian history.

Experience the legacy of powerful and enigmatic monarchs, particularly the illustrious Akbar, known for his visionary leadership and commitment to cultural harmony. Akbar expanded the empire’s borders and is celebrated for his patronage of the arts, as well as his efforts to foster dialogue between different religions. His reign marked a golden age of creativity, where literature, music, and architecture flourished.

Enjoy readings from Sri Chinmoy’s book, “The Moghul Emperors,” brought to life by Budhsamudra Knox. Accompanied by musician Pragunya Myers-Daly, this event will transport you through the stunning architecture of milky white marble and pink sandstone palaces, while sharing tales of artistry, cultural refinement, and the enduring wisdom of this remarkable empire. Their stories, woven together like the intricate patterns on a Moghul carpet, continue to captivate and inspire today.

Don’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in a world of grandeur and inspiration, where stories are woven together like the intricate patterns of a Moghul carpet and continue to captivate and inspire today. We look forward to sharing this unforgettable evening with you!
