Song of wisdom
Normally on the very thought of sufi conjures up imagines of some saint reveling in the glory of his preceptor with a beatific vision and transcending the unity conscious (tauheed), but it gets negated when you meet a modern beautiful lady like Devika unless you interact to realise that she too is a sufi, dil se.
Flourishing with Sufiana musical strains of her latest album Saari Raat, the soulful singer finds utter solace and tranquility delving into the spiritual culture and literature.

Ma belle Ballerina Ellen Davis and belly dancer Sajeeva Hurtado use dance for
self-transformation
The thing about meditation, finding inner peace, falling in love with oneself etc etc is that the idea is as abstract as the application. Call it therapeutic, spiritual awakening or plain exercise to keep healthy, introduction to your own self seems like the most difficult job in the world for those who aren't familiar with the art. So, here are two facilitators, if that's a more appropriate term to use, who came to the city to teach an entertaining way of self-transformation.
