Performing, Acting and Singing the Beauty of Krsna and His Lilas

Krsna is so sweet and so great that we actually always have the very strong longing within us that we wish to have Him right next to us - and please, in persona. Of course, He is every single minute with and even right next to us but our bounded existence often is still dissatisfied. What to do? - The best opportunity to play and sing about Him and His  beauty - in an opera, in a theater play and in a performance.

On the German Easter Mela 2014 we had the great chance to see enthusiastic children and Matajis performing and singing about Krsnas Lilas.

Here you get some impressions:

The children played the Lila about Shiva and his covered visit of the Rasa Dance. We had a great and concentrated Shiva played by Yudistira. A sweet and devoted Pavarti played by Yudistiras sister Devi. A charming and changeable Govinda Prakash who performed a sweet Gopi to enter as the hidden Shiva the Rasa Dance. Many Gopis and, of course, Radha and Krsna who have been played by the brother and sister Savitri and Surya. The irreplaceable mothers helped to tell the frame story, to install the Ganga river and to support their children while dancing, acting and performing. It was a great and unforgettable performance! Gurudeva opened the play whith singing a Bhajan on his charango.

Moreover we had great performances by the Matajis of the Radha-Krsna Temple Berlin. In their first play they made a reference to Monsanto and the degeneration of genetic manipulated seeds. The sad and totally sick seed in comparison to the beauty and individuality of Mother Nature´s creation. It was a futuristic performance which was shocking and convincing - Watch out for Mother Nature´s creation and respect and treat it with love and devotion!

Then, we had an opera, sang by Gita Manjari and Satya Manjari. Rada Raman as Krsna and Dhanya as Radha. Everything was so sweet and adorable. - Just as Krsna himself.

Finally, Bhajan Amrita performed a nice Odissi-Dance. She also helped the children with their dancing performance in the theater play. Jay - what a great gift for all of us.

Gurudeva and his Devotees, ki jay!

Easter Mela 2014, ki jay!
