Manipuri dance

Eastern Zonal Cultural Centre recently held a Manipuri workshop under the aegis of Darshana Jhaveri of Manipuri Nartanalaya at Bharatiyam. A dancer, teacher and research scholar rolled into one, Jhaveri has been meticulously trained by Guru Bipin Singh. She is adept in both the tandava and the lasya style of Manipuri. A recipient of the Padma Shri and the Sangeet Natak Akademi award, she spoke of the existence of the two simultaneous traditions of Animism and Hinduism in Manipuri dance. The Laiharoba festival invoking the village gods, is mainly the dance of the priestess describing the primitive concept of cosmology. Due to the spread of Gaudiya Vaishnavism in the last two centuries, Manipuri dance developed into a stylised, classified and dignified art form around the theme of Lord Krishna and Radha.

Spanish porcelain makers produce Radha Krishna piece

"Taking inspiration from this ancient culture and religion, artisans convey in this great shepherdess (Radha) the spirituality of the Hindu tradition and the handcrafted skill of Lladro," the statement said.

"On many occasions, Lladro artists have shown a fascination in their work for Eastern cultures, and very especially for India," the Valencia-based creator of porcelain art said, introducing its series, "The Spirit of India".

Krishna: cameo hero of the Yakshagana

Lord Krishna who celebrates his birthday each Shravana masa is perhaps, the most colourful of all Indian gods. ‘Krishna consciousness’, the product of the romanticism of the Puranas, the fantastic visualisation of the epics and harsh reality of history– fits into any time-frame. Making use of strange mannerisms and interesting playfulness, Krishna showed the meaningless existence of a stagnant culture and stirred it into activity. This unique personality has inspired all Indian art media.

The Art of Vishnudas

Krishna Art - The Paintings Prints Posters of Vishnu das

Vishnudas: In 1968 I studied art at Portland Community College, but I didn't really take it seriously until I met the Krishna devotees in 1970. My mother knew I was leaning toward a monk's life so one day she showed me a picture of a robed monk in the newspaper. The article mentioned that the devotees of Krishna just moved into town (Portland OR). She said I should go see them.

I did, and the next day I became a celebate Krishna monk (brahmachari). I first met devotees like Locan dasa, Krishna Valasini devi dasi, Narada Muni dasa, and Bhakta Steve (who first taught me that I'm an eternal jiva soul, servant of Krishna), then later Danavir dasa (now HH Danavir dasa Goswami), the departed and truly missed HH Vishnujana Goswami, and HH Mukunda dasa Goswami, who all inspired and encouraged me to continue painting for Krishna.
