Dance Evening with Mandakini Trivedi
 It was the evening of 25th October 2009, when Omkarananda
Patanjala Yoga Kendra welcomed a famous classical dancer Mandakini
Trivedi. Everyone was eagerly waiting to see Mandakiniji on stage.
Swami Vishveshwaranandaji and Swami Narasimhuluji
together lighted the lamp and the programme began. In honour of
Mandakiniji the tiny tots of Omkarananda Preparatory School presented a
beautiful prayer dance, in which Mother Earth and her children pray to
God Almighty to save them from excess of rain. All were lost in ecstasy
as it was a soul-elevating performance by the small budding artists.
Then Kumari Somashekhariji performed a beautiful dance
dedicated to the Divine Mother.
Finally, Mandakiniji presented a ballet - the marriage of
Shiva and Parvati - a journey of a woman to attain Supreme Perfection
against all adversities - in three different styles of Indian Classical
Dance - Bharatanatyam, Mohini Attam and Kathakali. In other words, the
whole programme was a combination of three different approaches - the
small budding artists, the artist in full bloom and the lavishly
coloured styles of a professional artist.
