Poet-diplomat Abhay K Composes Inspirational ‘Moon Anthem’ For Chandrayaan-3 Lunar Landing

As India eagerly awaits the culmination of its third lunar mission, ‘Chandrayaan-3,’ which seeks a soft landing on the moon’s southern hemisphere, Abhay K, a distinguished poet and diplomat, has unveiled a remarkable creation: a ‘Moon Anthem.’

Crafting Poetry Amidst Anticipation

Drawing inspiration from the impending lunar touch-down, Abhay K composed the anthem in Antananarivo, Madagascar. This poetic piece resonates with the anticipation of the lunar lander successfully making contact with the moon’s south pole.

Eloquent Verse Painting the Celestial Canvas

Beginning with the captivating lines, “Celestial diamond, primeval timepiece / Cosmic lamppost, night’s soft kiss / Seducing oceans, occulting Sun / Silver goddess lighting up Heaven…”, the anthem captures the celestial essence and grandeur of the moon.

Setting the Tone for Space Exploration

Beyond its artistic value, the ‘Moon Anthem’ stands as a tribute to India’s third lunar mission and paves the way for future deep-space explorations.

A Symphony of Collaboration

Eminent violinist and composer Dr L Subramaniam is poised to lend his musical expertise to the ‘Moon Anthem,’ while playback singer Kavita Krishnamurthy will infuse it with her captivating vocals.

A Poet’s Global Vision

Abhay K’s creative repertoire extends to anthems for every planet in the solar system. His ‘Earth Anthem’ transcends language barriers, with translations into over 150 languages. It resonates worldwide as a celebration of ‘Earth Day’ and ‘World Environment Day.’

Bridging Dreams with Reality

Expressing immense pride, Abhay K reflects on India’s endeavor: “It’s a matter of great pride and honor that India’s Chandrayaan-3 lander is soon going to make a soft landing on the Moon. It will be a dream coming true for a billion-and-a-half Indians.” The ‘Moon Anthem’ is poised to connect humanity with its closest celestial companion.

An Accomplished Diplomat’s Journey

Abhay K’s journey spans diverse diplomatic roles in Russia, Nepal, Brazil, Madagascar, and Comoros, underscoring his dedication to fostering international relations.
