On Saturday, May 6th, MOSA (The Museum of Sacred Art), located at the Radhadesh Temple, inaugurated its latest exhibit for over 70 dignitaries and guests. The exhibition, entitled “Narasimha and the Avatars,” includes various artistic offerings on the ten avatars of Krishna, with a specific emphasis on Lord Nrisimhadeva.
Government officials present included Santosh Jha, the Ambassador of India to Belgium, Luxembourg, and the European Union, as well as ambassadors from Bangladesh, Mauritius, and Nepal, along with representatives from the Surinam Embassy. The Indian ambassador even explained that he grew up in a village where his local temple claims to be the site where Lord Nrsimhadeva burst forth from the pillar to save his devotee Prahlad. In addition, academics and religious communities like the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Baha’i faith were also present at the festivities, which included devotional music and a Bharata Natyam dance presentations.
“This exhibit is drawn from many of MOSA’s current collections as the theme of the avatars is very central in Vaisnava Arts. Additionally, we commissioned about 100 extra works, especially for the show. I believe the show will be a great success with devotees, Hindu guests, and the many visitors to Radhadesh,” said Mahaprabhu Dasa, the Director of MOSA and exhibit curator.
