So Ashutosh Rana came up to me with the idea of this. We have collaborated before as well and he has recited a lot of my poems which include poems 'Baabuji' & “Manushya” which received a lot of accolades on social media with millions of views. Hence, we came with this new collaboration on the eve of Maha Shivratri and recorded this audio video project in Kailash Kher's studio to make it on bigger level."

So when I came up with this idea, Aalok appreciated me and took it with excitement. I'm happy to say that with the blessings of Lord Shiva, he translated the shloks beautifully and executed the whole thing very effortlessly. We both are very spiritual towards lord Shiva and collaborating for something like this feels amazing. I have recited Aalok's poems but this is something bigger and I'm eagerly looking forward to it."
