SHULMA – A Song for Peace
By Desert Rose, Pioneers of Sacred World Music

SHULMA, meaning “peace,” is a transcendent musical offering composed and produced by Desert Rose, internationally acclaimed for their work in Sacred World Music. This evocative piece is sung in three sacred languages—Hindi, Aramaic, and Arabic—to celebrate the universal yearning for peace, love, and purity that lies at the heart of all spiritual traditions.

The lyrics gently affirm:
“I am a peaceful soul, I am a loving soul, I am a pure soul.”
These affirmations are followed by the powerful declaration:
“My religion is Peace, My religion is Love.”

SHULMA is more than a song—it is a prayer, a bridge between cultures, and a call for unity.

Founded in 2000, Desert Rose has become a global voice for peace, with 19 albums produced. From 2012 to 2019, the duo performed in over 20 countries, serving as ambassadors of peace and social harmony across continents and cultures.

Through SHULMA, Desert Rose continues their mission to inspire harmony, uplift consciousness, and offer healing through the universal language of music.

Based on the five elements, this instrumental track is inspired by the element of fire. We meditate on the elements to purify our past and clear the path in front of us. One often has more clarity of vision as well as mental clarity after meditating with this intention.

Memories of Tibilisi, Georgia last year inaugurating the Peace Cathedral - the first ever Church, Mosque and Synagogue residing under one roof, inspired by Bishop Malkhaz, a fearless pioneer in a country caught between geopolitical tensions of the East and West. We spent profound moments in the Caucus mountains at monasteries built in the 4th century AD.
