Guest guest Posted November 22, 1996 Report Share Posted November 22, 1996 Dear Prapatti Group Members: Yesterday (Nov. 21, 1996), the devotees of Lord Krishna in the town of Buffalo were immersed in ecstatic joy watching the dance-drama on Krishna-Vaibhavam. The soul stirring verses of Alwars provided the back drop for this magnificent program. The exuberant imagery portrayed in the pasurams were wonderfully captured by Prof. Nagaswami and his troupe. The young children who played the role of Andal and Nappinai reminded me of the incident where Ramanujacharya was greatly moved by the sight of a young girl (Periya Nambigal's daughter?) opening the door for his Biksha while he was reciting the 'Undu Madhagallitran..' pasuram. The program started with "Pallandu..". It moved on to depict little Krishna as the darling of the Gopis (Kaiyum KAlum Nimmithhy...; Mannikkam Katti Pavazhavai Thalelo..). Next, the Kaalinga Nardhanam was excellently done. It moved on further to depict Krishna as a naughty boy stealing the clothes of Gopis. Andal's VAranamayiram and finally the dance-drama concluded portraying Lord Krishna as Parama Purusha and the entire universe standing in Sarira-Saririn relation with Him. The colorful costumes, the innocent faces of the charming young children, the melodious music have all created an indellible impression on the minds of people here. It was an evening that I would not like to exchange with anything less than 'Moksha'. Vijayaraghavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
