Description SOUNDS OF GLOBAL WORSHIP: INDIA: ASSAM - RABHA PROCESSIONAL This is a companion video to "India: Assam, Rabha" and highlights the processional given in our honor as we arrived in the tribal village of the wonderful Rabha People. This welcome is given to all special guests who visit, and we were the first foreigners to have the privilege of entering their village. The song and dance is offered, facing us, while they slowly process backwards into the village square. The entire processional took a little more than ten minutes. What you see in the video is a one minute excerpt. After being seated in the village square we were given a verbal blessing as they washed our feet in warm water. Several groups sang and danced before us, after which we were guests of honor at a community meal. The humility of the Rabha People and the love with which they honored us was overwhelming. It touched something very deep within us that these people would welcome us in such ways. COPYRIGHT HEART SOUNDS INTERNATIONAL. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. HSI WEBSITE: www.heart-sounds.org
