Recently, the Duluth High School auditorium in Duluth, Georgia, USA, was transformed into a lively spiritual haven as GitaWise hosted its annual day celebration, an extraordinary event dedicated to the reverence of Lord Krishna. The event, attended by nearly 400 community members, featured over 90 talented students who took to the stage, enchanting the audience with mesmerizing dances and thought-provoking dramas.
The September 7th event was distinctively themed “Back to the Future,” a reference to the changing modes of devotion through time. The different yugas: Satya, Treta, Dwapara, and Kali, are known for exemplifying varying characteristics of deity worship. Despite their differences, all of these paths to devotion are significant in their own ways as the overarching concept of carrying love towards Lord Krishna. The creative presentation highlighted the spiritual evolution of humanity, traversing the various yugas.
The performance commenced with four young girls embodying the influences of our Kaliyuga age – laziness, confusion, and disorientation. As they struggled to find their way, Lord Krishna appeared, guiding them on a transformative journey through the yugas. This poignant depiction illustrated the eternal relevance of Lord Krishna’s teachings, illuminating the path to spiritual realization.
In addition to this performance, the event showcased an array of captivating performances, each one reflecting a facet of Lord Krishna’s divine glory. From elegant Kuchipudi to vibrant folk dances, every presentation was infused with devotion and passion. In addition to these traditional performances, three dramas titled Sakshigopal, Krishna Lifts Govardhan Hill, and Dhruva were performed, each with ornate props and costumes. These performances featured voice recording overlays by the students alongside passionate theatrical performances. Thus, the GitaWise Annual Day demonstrated the power of art and culture in conveying timeless spiritual truths. As the students’ performances brought Lord Krishna’s stories to life, the audience was captivated by the enduring significance of His teachings.
