Ambling down the
path of grace
Chinmaya Mission presented a Bhakti-Pravaha Bharatanatyam dance performance by the well–known danseuse Geeta Chandran.  The event was organised to celebrate the essence of the Pusti Marga of Mahaprabhu Srimad Vallabhacharya who is also the composer of “The Celestial Song of Grace” and “Madhurashtakam”. The exceptional composition entitled “Madhurashtakam” embodies his full philosophy of adorning Lord Krishna. Each and every trait of the Lord is esteemed and celebrated for its beauty and aesthetic balance. The evening also gave way to the Lokparna of Dr Bhagwati Sharan Misra’s two books, “Pawak” and “Agni Purush”, based on the life and work of Mahaprabhu Srimad Vallabhacharya. The evening was prefaced and presided over by a renowned scholar-philosopher of Indian heritage, Dr L.M. Singhvi, who had conceptualised the occasion. The Minister for Human Resource Development, Dr Murli Manohar Joshi, was the chief guest and Mr Jagmohan, Minister for Culture and Tourism, and his wife were the guests of honour.
In this performance, the well-known danseuse, Geeta Chandran, is inspired and prompted by Dr L.M. Singhvi. She draws on the essence of Pusti Marga (Path of Grace), established by Mahaprabhu Srimad Vallabhacharya, one of the greatest sage-philosophers, in North India during the sixteenth century. The bhavas were presented to the poetry of the Pusti Marga kavis and from the Haveli music tradition, which originated in
Nathdwara.
