Answer: Children Beyond

Tina Turner, Regula Curti and Dechen Shak-Dagsay are joined by a choir of thirty children for "Children Beyond". The album contains a range of chants, prayers and songs from different religions including Christian, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism.

Answer: Goddess Shakti

Tina Turner was earmarked to play the part of "Goddess Shakti" and undertook a tour during 2004 to India for meetings with Indian singers and dancers and to learn about the culture. Unfortunately the film's producer, Ismail Merchant passed away and the movie was shelved.

During 2010 there was talk about it being revived but whether Tina gets to play the "Goddess Shakti" remains to be seen as there was controversy from Hindu religious groups who opposed the casting of her, citing and I quote, "the casting of a woman who appears half-naked often", calling it "offensive, and an insult to Hindus all over the world".
