Guest guest Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Our Krnsa 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 endeavors. Especially I welcome your talent of presenting ancient Krsna 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 Krnsa consciousness. The wonderful story of Dhruva Maharaja is no exception of your musical and Krsna conscious genius. Sacinandana Swami 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) 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 weaped 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 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 Dandavats to you, your cast, and sound technicians for producing a rich spiritual celebration in the form of your Dhruva musical. Caru das (ACBSP) Utah USA 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 I listened to Dhruva together with my son Nitai of 7 years old. He listened attentively as I translated the words. When I told him that Dhruva Maharaja was about 5 years old when he went to the forest, I could see that this idea fascinated him. As boys amongst each other always like to compete, innocently he asked me whether I thought that he could also do such a thing? I said I did not know, that it was very extraordinary, but perhaps he could if he really wanted to. Immediately the story took on a different dimension for him. I believe in the power and importance of exposing our children to stories like those of Dhruva and Prahlad, because these offer them a whole different type of heroes than the phoney cartoon characters on everyday tv. Even if we cannot or choose not to send our children to gurukula, we can still nourish them by presenting to them the adventures of these timeless role models. Presented in an artistic manner, the musical Dhruva Maharaja easily enters the heart of both adults and children alike and will add auspiciousness to our lives. " Rati Manjari d.d.(TKG) Amsterdam 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 definetely struck me is the devotion which the lyrics, the music and the performance radiate. Bhakta Jorg Antwerp 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 Thank you for your 'timeconsuming' bur 'rewarding' devotional service. Srila Prabhupada, as you know, loved drama very much. Who am I to say, but still I want to say it, that he must be verry pleased with your artistic service to his lotus feet.
