"I saw your Bhagavad Gita program at the Cubberly Theater in Palo Alto on Sunday, Sept 29th and have no words to describe how wonderful it was. The program was perfect and we saw how much attention you pay to detail. Your choreography was the best, your dancers were outstanding, music was melodious (especially the flute which was superb) and we felt transported to a different world. Congratulations once again and thank you for putting on such a memorable performance. "

"What a wonderful event! I loved it all!!It was a great expression of Indian culture! I envy your beautiful culture and its long history, its religion, and its arts!! All of the dancers were superb, and the musicians - including the vocalists - were even better!
I never experienced an evening like last night. During the last scenes of the 'drama' I had to restrain myself from standing up and shouting,";Hare Krishna" and I don't know anything about the Hindu religion, but it felt so religious!
Please convey my sincerest compliments to everyone involved in the project. I purchased my ticket on-line, and it was so easy. My ticket was at the box office, and everything went smoothly.
Thanks again!!"

"Myself & Shanthi want to just let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed the "Bhagvad Gita" performance yesterday at Cubberly Theatre. It was simply outstanding and we were just transported to a different world for over 3 hours. This lasting effect lingered for a while even after the performance. Excellent choreography and all the important sequences of the "Gita" were included. Your students were just flawless. It was a wonderful treat to hear the musicians and the orchestra as well. The combination of Srivatsa and Palai Ramachandran was so good along with the soothing voice of Lakshmi Shankar. We look forward to many more productions from your troupe in our area in the future. Our entire family (parents and my daughter Sindhu) enjoyed it as well.
Again congratulations to you and your troupe!!!!!!!"

"That was an awesome performance today. I couldn't come and talk to you afterwards as it was pretty late.
Your students were powerful and energetic. Mythili was breathtaking as Draupadi & Karna. I enjoyed Duryodana's & Arjuna's performances as well. Ajit was fantastic. Please pass on my congratulations to him.
Your Krishna was playful yet powerful. The whole dance drama was well put together and the music carried it to great heights. Congratulations!"

"Frankly, we were shocked about the beauty and hearing of these dances. We had no idea this existed. I still hear the mesmerizing music and rythms and see the colors, movements and faces of the dancers expressing the millenium-old sagas of their forefathers. I felt like being 40,000 miles away and 2000 years ago.
Thank You! Danke!"

"Greetings from San Francisco. Just a note to tell you how much I enjoyed Shakti's production of BHAGVAD GITA in Palo Alto last month, and to thank you for bringing such a wonderful show to the SF Bay Area. Everything about the program-dance, music, costume design, and stage setting-was excellent, and some of the highlights of the show are still with me. It was a joy to see you and Ajit dancing together, and the footwork in the thillana was just unforgettable.
Thank You!"
Sincerely,
Sherman Lo, San Francisco, October 22. '02 |
