As a continuation of the Southern Tour:

(the beginning of the Tour)

At an open venue on July 23 there was held a concert of the city of Gelenjik (Krasnodar Region) in the rest-house “Caucasus” on the coast of the Black Sea. The viewers started occupying their seats I 40 minutes before the performance. There were about 70 people at the concert – all of them got their self-realization.

It had been raining during two days before the concert – there was thunder, hail and lightning but the next morning a strong wind drove all the clouds away. For the first time, at a concert, during the bhajan “Vishva Vandita” the audience was applauding as if qawwali was being performed!

After the concert people were taking pictures with us and asked us to show them some of the elements of the Indian dance Kuchipudi. Sahaja Yogis of Gelenjik and Novorossiysk helped us greatly with the organization of the concert.

“On a Char-à-banc with the Wind” in Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia

July 24, 2010 in Festivals, Sahaja Yoga Events by admin | No comments

Char-à-banc is an open carriage people of the 19th century used to travel on in many countries. “Char-à-banc. The Wheel of the Time” – that was the name of the Festival of modern ethnographic music that took place in Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia, on 19 June, in an outdoor museum. That museum is an outstanding place in its own way. In the middle of the last century beautiful samples of wooden Russian architecture were brought there from all over Nizhny Novogorod Region to be collected baulk by baulk.

Sahaja Yogis were representing Indian folklore at the Festival as well as traditional painting with henna – mehendi. We also gave a workshop on Indian classic dance.

Opinion about the performance of our bhajan-group “Turia” published in the Internet by some viewer: “It is beyond praise. Firstly, Indian music is beautiful. Secondly, they were very-very loud-voiced. Thirdly, the instruments were almost absolutely ethical. Except there was Read the rest of this entry »
