Jalota has decided to record Bhagavad Gita in Urdu to reach out to Gulf countries. "This is the right time to visit Islamic countries and spread the depth of Bhagavad Gita in their countries," said the singer who added that he enjoyed the hospitality, love and care in Pakistan. I was avoiding going to Pakistan till last year. Since the last many years, they are coming to India and inviting me to sing for them. "Satram Ashram is one spiritual place in Sindh in Pakistan. I took this step to promote Bhagavad Gita in Urdu in Islamic countries. I believe Pakistan must have same policy and this will help creating peace and harmony. "India always welcomed musicians from Pakistan. He said exchange of talent must be facilitated from both ends. Jalota performed at the Satram Ashram in Sindh earlier this week. The least I can do as a musician is to stop the world from turning into a Kurukshetra," added the bhajan veteran. "I want attitudes and mindsets to change. I can perform in every city in Pakistan to highlight our values, the base of our tolerant attitude and inner strength, discipline and perseverance. But the bhajan and Bhagavad Gita performance to 50,000 people is the beginning of my humble contribution to world peace. "I have refused many commercial ghazal shows in Pakistan. And when rendered in Urdu musically to Urdu-speaking audiences, it moves you, changes you," Jalota told.

And Bhagavad Gita is an embodiment of all that. As a musician, the larger purpose is peace, harmony and love. I felt it necessary to propagate the values. He says it is his effort to stop the world from turning into a Kurukshetra. Bhajan maestro Anup Jalota, who had earlier stated he will never perform in Pakistan, sang verses from the holy Bhagavad Gita in Urdu in that country this week.
