Hip hop makes scriptures cool for young Jains

Dhrumil on July 2007

Via Times of India:

Edison, New Jersey: Jain scriptures sung in hip hop. That’s the latest East-meets-West saga as over 5,000 Jains from the US and other countries congregate here on Friday for the Jain Associations In North America (Jaina) meet.

And, bringing about this unique fusion is cappella singer Krupesh Mehta, who will perform at the ‘peace JAM’ during the convention, to get youth attracted to the scriptures, using this popular genre of music.

And, how does he get them to mix ?

“Realising the power of the word ‘Om’ forms the premise of the track that I will be performing. The energy of ‘Om’, going into the depths of its meaning, inspires you to look within yourself, realise your capabilities. And Jain ideology too emphasises the same, with purity of soul and raising your consciousness being the ultimate aim,” says Krupesh, an NRG Jain.

Having been raised in Queens, New York, his inclination for hip-hop came naturally. “I grew up listening to it. I realised that the youth would find it more appealing if hip-hop was the mode of presentation,” he says.

Krupesh, ‘Kru’ to his friends, started writing in 2000 while in high school and has used his mastery over words for the performance. “The style is hip hop but it’s all about words. They truly reflect the essence of the Jain scriptures,” he says.

The four-day convention will see performers using a combination of poetry, music, and lyrics to communicate their vision and message about various topics ranging from politics to spirituality and from racial bias to social injustice. While generational icon, Lauryn Hill, has been specifically invited for her spiritual and lyrical alignment with the convention’s theme ‘Peace Through Dialogue.’

And, beyond music, about 60 Jain scholars will discuss the ‘Building of a Diaspora – Jains without Borders.’

Peace Jam, What’s That?

Nirav on June 2007

Over the past few days, we’ve been getting alot of emails asking what this so called Peace Jam is. People hear that 8-time Grammy winner Lauryn Hill’s coming, that we have poets from HBO’s Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry Jam showing up, winners of Apollo Theatre Night making an appearance, Jain beatboxers dropping a beat, etc. But what does that have to do with our conference and how does hip hop relate to Jain dharma?

Hip Hop was founded upon the principles of non-violence. Back in the late 1970’s, the hip hop culture grew out of the social injustice that was placed on minorities in the rising New York urban community. Instead of in-sighting violence, leaders such as DJ Kool Herc setup block parties to bring the suppressed communities together. These block parties served as a gathering of like minded individuals to express themselves through the arts.

The Peace Jam as a result is utilizing the core principles of hip hop combined with a conscious and purposeful overtone to bring light to our theme: Peace Through Dialogue. Hip hop now has a prominent role in the music industry, the fashion industry, the arts, in education, and in many other aspects of life. What better way to show how non-violence can bring upon some real change in life?

Our very own Jain beatboxer and DJ, Deepen Shah utilized his skills to drop beats and full songs. He’s been a heart-throb to many of the young ladies at YJA, and he’s become even sexier now that he carries around a guitar. Expect to see Deepen perform on his own and in collaboration with other artists.
