"The idea for the festival is based on Sufism's message of peace and unity and the fact that, in today's world of increasing division and disparity, the message of Sufi music should heard throughout the world. Sufi Music has the ability to cross all geographical, national, religious, and language barriers, and should thus be used as an instrument of spiritual renewal that, in today's world of increasing division and disparity, the message of music should be heard throughout the world".
