Guest guest Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 For the first time since 1987 I spent Janmastami alone. I hardly noticed the strains of fasting all day and standing up on my feet cooking a feast, because I was listening to the whole series of CDs that you did starting with Krsna Janma. By the time it was over I was very elated. The CDs are very professionally done. My only complaint is that you only have 11 of them. You should consider making more. Shyamasundar das (ACBSP) Vedic Astrologer Bravo, Parividha Prabhu! Your productions are beautiful samskaras for our youth and powerful medicine for us older folks, still recovering from Kali's ravishments. Play on, O cultural warrior, and "catch the conscience of the king," our spirit's sense of the Lord within. Suresvara das (ACBSP) Hawaii Your musicals are delightful and imaginative! Not only is your work entertaining, but you have taken the care to keep it rigorously correct in scriptural details. The scenarios in the stories that amplify the themes are all properly portrayed. The only spin here is the tale. These CD's make great gifts for parents and their kids, --I mean knock-your-socks-off great-- and are a real Trojan horse as far as getting the message of Krishna consciousness across to a broader, more general audience. Bravo! Sravaniya dasi (ACBSP) Overall I think your Dhruva Maharaja musical is a wonderful production. It woves nicely, Arjuna's narration is seamless, professional. The songs are short and the music is pleasing. I would be interested to see it performed. Sivarama Swami You've done a superb job. It's spiritually enlivening for the whole family. Ekanath das (ACBSP) Bhaktivedanta Archives Thanks Parividha Prabhu. My daughter is enjoying your creations immensely. They are very professionally done. Keep them coming! I would like to one day work with you on a film. Yadubara das (ACBSP) Canada Your Dhruva musical is a pleasure to listen to. As a musical it renders the story of Dhruva in a dramatic and entertaining way, highlighting the determination of the child hero to have the Lord's darshan. It shows great promise as a way to render so much more of our tradition's narratives, making the tradition so much more accessible to a much wider audience than would otherwise be attracted. And of course it will be especially attractive to children. You have done a good presentation all around, and I wish you all the best for many such future productions. Haribolo! Krsna-ksetra das (ACBSP) England Your dramatic productions are professionally done and fascinating for both adults and children. Children who grow up listening to such dramatic renditions of Krsna's pastimes come to see Krsna consciousness as fun and are far more likely to dedicate themselves to become devotees of Krsna than those who have not had such exposure. By absorption in Krsna's lila through these audio recordings, one comes to forget all material misery and remember the true goal of life. One is fortunate if one can have the complete set. Urmila d.d. (ACBSP) ISKCON school NC Our Krsna consciousness movement needs a cultural basis, because it is the human condition that it requires culture in order to grow and blossom. I am very thankful to the devotees who supply such cultural basis in their many endeavours. Especially I welcome your talent of presenting ancient Krishna consciousness through western musicals. I think that in times to come, your productions will serve as a bridge, over which many sincere souls will walk into the blissful land of Krishna consciousness. The wonderful story of Dhruva Maharaja is no exception of your musical and Krsna conscious genius. Sacinandana Swami We have your set of your CDs, but I wish we had more. My grandchildren listen to them all the time in the house. They love them! They sing the songs and act out the plays. It's wonderful engagement for them and keeps them focused on Krishna's eternal pastimes. In the Gurukula, the boys love to hear them and we also use them for Drama class. Please keep up the good work and produce more and more for the benefit of all our aspiring devotees, young and old! May Krishna bless you for such a wonderful and selfless service. Racitambara d.d. (ACBSP) Mayapura Education Prabhu you're productions are wonderful. Kirtana Rasa and I love them and when we go to bed early we listen to them. They are nothing like the old American story tapes but are 100% professional productions, like something the BBC might be capable of if their producers were Krishna Conscious. The lines of the actors are delivered with such expertise, which I imagine must be due to your direction and experience as a professional actor. Yaduvendu das (ACBSP) England I am a single mother who tries to give her five year old son some Krishna consciousness - and in such a way that he will not curse my attempts when he is fifteen. One powerful tool in my mission are your CD's. Everything about them is attractive: The music, the songs, the lyrics, the covers. They are full of interesting details in the dialogues, and every one of them contains many funny jokes. When my son and I listen to your CD's, his dreamy eyes tell me how a whole new world is opening up to him and becoming a reality, instead of merely a story in an old book. Thank you very much for your good work and I hope you will make many more. Rati Manjari devi dasi (TKG) Amsterdam Holland Your productions are so expertly done. Listening to them simply transports one to the transcendental world. I only wish there were many more like it! My children spend hours listening to them. Your rendition of the proud brahmin was so funny. Batu Gopal happen to hear the tape of Sakshi Gopala. He said: " What a nice job they did! Such nice service, and for the benefit of countless generations to come. Imagine the benefit they will get for doing this. These productions are great. Gurubhakta dasi (ACBSP) Hillsborough U.S.A. My 3 children (+ husband!) are in much bliss! We listen to them everyday. They love them. All my congratulations for producing such wonderful dramas and musicals. It is great credit to you + the participants. Keep producing more + I will keep purchasing! You are doing a fantastic service to all vaisnavas, great + small. Thank you. Madhumati d.d. Christchurch New Zealand I don't know, who enjoyed the tape more. My son or my husband Vrajasundari d.d. (SRS) Vrindavan I have a few of your musicals and am very impressed. My family enjoy them very much. Giridhari das (GRS) Mauritius Dandavats to you, your cast, and sound technicians for producing a rich spiritual celebration in the form of your latest musical of Dhruva Maharaja. We performed "Genie in the Lamp" at our Himalayan fest on June 7th. It was a big success. Four or five hundred watched it on the outdoor stage, laughed lustily at all the right times, and applauded enthusiastically. It was ideal for us as we have few members and this play only took five actors. We do want to try something more ambitious for our Janmastami festival and wonder if you would be so kind as to email the script for the Jamanstami play. Caru Das (ACBSP) Utah USA Thanks very much for producing such wonderful pastimes of the Lord and His devotees. With your permission, we used your tape for a children's play of "Sakshi Gopal" during last years Rathayatra Festival in Chapel Hill, N.C. The play was a smash hit with everyone and the children themselves had such a good time acting out the many parts of your drama of "Sakshi Gopal". Many thanks to all the actors for their expert presentation of these beautiful pastimes of the Lord. Sucharya d.d. (ACBSP) U.S.A. Your latest musical of Dhruva Maharaja was so very sweet. I love the lyrics and the choice of voices. It brings the Dhruva story to live so perfectly. Thanks for doing this great service for all of us! Gurubhakta d.d. Hillsbourough USA I especially like that you extract scripture which is so essential. Narada's first instructions to Dhruva could convince anyone, but it is wonderful how you portray that they didn't persuade Dhruva. Also Dhruva's mood towards his father and brother after he received Lord Vishnu's darshan. And before that Uttanapada's heart-rending repentance and concern for Dhruva. I also like the demigods' prayers to be relieved from being suffocated. Looks to me like you did it again prabhu -- another masterpiece... Jaya Bhadra d.d. Radhadesh Belgium I am the daughter of Gurubhakta and I am 17 years old. I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy listening to all of your tapes. I brought them to the Gurukula a while ago, and we listen to them while we eat lunch. All the kids like them a lot. They especially loved the funny comedies. The latest musical that you finished was very nice. I liked the singers that you chose for the different parts, and everything was so professionally done. I felt as though I was actually there within the story of Dhruva Maharaja. Thank you so much for the work that you do to produce such wonderful tapes and CDs. I hope that you continue making more of them so that we can always fill our ears with the sound of Krsna Conscious pastimes Cintamani d.d. Hillsborough USA On our way back to Wiesbaden I had the time listening to the musical. After the first two parts I imagined myself how wonderful preaching tool you have produced and how nice it will open the hearts for our philosophy in the western world. Mixed with this vision and the feelings of leaving Radhadesh my hairs stayed on end and I wept literally tears almost the whole way up to Liege. My dear wife had to calm me down by massaging my arm all the way. Hemanga das Wiesbaden Germany Your contribution to KC movement through music & drama is wonderful, enlivening, relaxing & inspiring. I love the song you sang as Narada, describing the beauty of the Lord. You must have sung it with full devotion from your heart. The effect is that you want to hear it again & again. Thank you. Vinode manjari d.d. (SDG) Radhadesh Belgium Dhruva Maharaja: Good Storyline - Wonderful music -Professional sound - Amazing voices - Very good acting. The professionalism throughout the whole musical is very pleasing. The whole, besides the wonderful voices of the singers, is just very nicely mastered and technically finalized. I appreciate the balance between the entertaining and instructive parts. What definitely struck me is the devotion which the lyrics, the music and the performance radiate. Janmastami das (LOK) Antwerpen Belgium The CDs sounded very professional. It seemed to me as if I was there. I hope someday I could stage them in one of the squares here in Rome. I appreciated very much the fact that the stories are very close to the way it is described in the Srimad Bhagavatam. In this way, those who listen to these CDs will never forget these wonderful lilas. Lilananda das (RNS) Rome Italy Your productions are very unique. I think nothing like this has been done in ISKCON before. They are very professionally produced, and of a high quality. Once you start to listen to one of them you can't stop, since your curiosity grows with every minute, and you want to know what will happen next. They are enjoyable for both young and older devotees, as well as for new comers to Krishna consciousness. Please make more of them. Surapala das Las Vegas USA I bought a CD of Dhruva Maharaja at Bhaktivedanta Manor on Sunday. That night I listened to it in the car while taking my friends home. I am just writing to say that me and my friends happened to really enjoyed it. It made our journey very transcendental. Since then I have also listended to it at work and the more I listen to it the more I love it. All the devotees involved have done a tremendous job of bringing the past times of Dhruva Maharaj & Lord Vishnu to life. The music is ecstatic and the voices are very befitting too. I particularly like yours, Gaurangi dasi's and Kripamoya's voice. Truly a work of Art, which I would like to see on live stage one day! I would be interested in purchasing the whole set of CD's. Bhawesh Shaz (England) Our Stockholm temple's drama group has been benefited by your works prabhu. Besides that they are first class entertainment, they are very useful for actors specifically and ideal to be used as a soundtrack for big festivals. Yogindra das (ACBSP) Stockholm Sweden Your work is great and has been a treat for our family. Pancaratna das (ACBSP) Thanks for sharing the Lord's lila's. Please continue. Dharani Dhara das (SRS) Brighton England Your musicals are so impressively sweet. I listened to them nonstop as a child and I still enjoy listening to them. Nila Your musical presentations are extraordinary. They are quite innovative and creative. What a great way to present Krishna conscious stories and philosophy.
