On the auspicious occasion of Srila Krishna dasa kaviraja goswami’s disappearance day today we wish to present the devotees all over the world the dance ballet performed last month in the glory of Sri Chaitanya Charitamritam. This dance ballet was performed on the occasion of Radhastami Adhivas at ISKCON, Mira Road (Mumbai, India) on 20th September 2015, which coincided with inauguration of weeklong festivals to mark the grand opening of Sri Sri RadhaGiridhari temple at Mira Road that is poised to become the crest jewel for the western suburbs of Mumbai. Please relish viewing the video below:
HG Kamal Lochan Das, the temple president, specifically chosen to present the glorification of Sri Chaitanya Charitamritam through dance ballet by Kalakruti Dance Academy to honour Sri Chaitanya Charitamritam, which completed 400 years of compilation by Srila Krishna dasa kaviraja goswami at Radha Kunda. On the occasion of 400th year celebration HG Kamal Lochan prabhu decided to distribute 400 sets of Sri Chaitanya Charitamritam. So far he is successful in distributing 200 sets. He announced a rebate of 50% on the occasion of new temple inauguration.
Originally Sri Chaitanya Charitamritam glorification song was compiled for the occasion of 400th year of appearance. This glorification song, which was beautifully rendered in Hindustani music with ‘MisraDhag’ raga (tune) by Prof. Venukapalli Thirupathiah from Telangana state, India, was given devotion and dedication filled dance ballet by Smt. Guru Rekha Desai of Kalakruti Dance Academy. This dance academy is associated with ISKCON for several years through various devotional dance performances on festival days. Under the dance direction of Smt. Guru Rekha Desai, Ms. Siddhi Desai and troupe performed the dance with great enthusiasm and devotion that received applause from the audience. Now we made an attractive video formatting for the dance performance with English subtitles for the pleasure view of the devotees all over the world.
Glorification song of Sri Chaitanya Charitamritam was composed truly in-line with Sri Chaitanya Charitamritam. It gives the introduction to all the important characters of the scripture, the true identity of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, a brief mention of events in adilila, Madhya lila and antylila. It gives the historical points of its compilation place and Srila Prabhupada’s wonderful commentary. It concludes with a note that the release of Sri Chaitanya Charitamritam in Telugu language (south Indian language) would be soon done by the mercy of Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga. Bhaktivedanta Book Trust (BBT) is working to release Sri Chaitanya Charitamritam in Telugu language in January 2016 as an offering to Srila Prabhupada on the occasion of golden jubilee celebration of ISKCON. We request all the Maharajas and all the devotees all over the world to bless us for the successful release of Sri Chaitanya Charitamritam for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada.
