Krishna Leela Live
14th June 2010, Monday 7.00 PM

Dear Friends,

On Friday, Jun 11th I went to Austin to watch a live performance by a professional group from India. The show is about the Life of Krishna and Radha. I was expecting the usual songs and dance. However, little did I know that I was in for a huge surprise. The group did an excellent job of making the audience feel as if they were actually witnessing the Krishna Leela. For three hours we sat at the edge of our seat absorbing the love of Krishna all around us.

There were very few non-Gujarati's in the audience. I guess they must have felt that language barrier would not allow them to enjoy the show. They could not be more wrong. Regardless of what language you speak the love of Radha Krishna can transcend thru ages and language barrier. So if you are not Gujarati do not worry the magic of Radha and Krishna will captivate you.

The show appeals to young as well as old. The youth who do not understand any Indian language is likely to enjoy as much as a grand mother who is 80!

I was so impressed with the performance that I requested the group to perform in Temple TX and feeling my enthusiasm they agreed. The only slot open was Monday Jun 14th. Organizing such a premier show in such a short notice is not an easy task and I can use all the help I can get.

To day, being a Saturday it was not possible to confirm a venue but we were able to contact Cultural Activities Center and they informed that since there is no other event on Monday we should be able to stage the performance. (Tentative confirmation of the venue.)

Next challenge was to figure out the financial aspect of the show (no successful event can be launched without the blessing of Laxmi!) It is a simple fact that the moment the tickets price seem too high to the audience the size of audience goes down. To address this issue few of us decided that with the quality of performance it was more important to bring the this spiritual event to our community than to worry about the bottom line. So in a radical move, that Gujarati Samaj is so well known in the past, we are CHARGING NO TICKET!!! We want you to experience this amazing performance depicting the Krishna with your family and friends. If this opens up your heart and pocket we welcome any donations.

Food and Drinks: While it is customary for the organizers to charge for the snacks and drinks to generate alternate source of revenue we are offering refreshment and drinks for free from 6 to 7 PM.

If you are coming please email me at vijayvip@aol.com and let me know how many people are coming so that provision can me made for enough food as well as we can inform you of any changes.

As you can see our approach is quite radical. However so was the life and teaching of Lord Krishna. I am sure once you watch their performance you will also agree with me that this is truly inspirational event.

I like to hear from you even if you are not able to make it.

This show has been playing to a sold out audience in India for more than 100 Weeks!

A dynamic show with Live orchestra of 8 talented musicians. 35 highly talented dancers bring the Krishna Leela live in the auditorium. 3 Hours of non stop inspiration. Kusuum fame Bakul Thakkar (he was Kusuum's Uncle) with a masterful job of narrating the story.
