GFA Global's Bhakthi Vijayam - The Triumph of Devotion, an innovative endeavor conceptualised by Sri. Chitravina Ganesh spreads the powerful message that a complete devotion to whatever one does will lead them to victory. This event pays homage to the profound connection between the artist and the divine, where music becomes a medium to express the deepest emotions and connect with the spiritual.

Bhakthi Vijayam learning series will provide an opportunity for the young students/participants to experience the expression of devotion displayed by various composers from differing times through their divinely music exemplifying their unconditional surrender to the lord! Each out of 9 chosen compositions for this unique concept is wholly bhakthi-laden, conveying immense amounts of devotion in every word and immersing the artists and audience in divinity.

We greatly look forward to presenting Bhakthi Vijayam on a grand scale, for the first time in Cleveland Thyagaraja Festival and the tentative date is April 14th, 2024.
