Namaskara everyone,
Happy New Year to you all.
I am sure this new year will bring in great progress to our Sirigandha Kannada Sangha .
Speaking of progress, one of the events that we have added to our list is organizing Purandara Dasara Aradhana (well known as the father of Carnatic music) at the Hindu Temple beginning this year in February.
This will be a temple event co-ordinated by the Kannada group.
I am really honored to be a part of Sirigandha Kannada Sangha as we not only conduct events that we all enjoy and have a good time ( Sports day, Ugadi & Deepavali) we also contribute to our community by organizing events such as Shivarathri and now Purandara Dasara Aradhana. The event will include singing of Purandara Daasa kritis by adults and kids.
This Year it will be held on February 9th , from 9:30 am to 12 noon followed by Boxed Lunches. We are expecting about 100-125 people (kids & adults ) on that day.
We would be needing help with the preparation of food where the Sirigandha Kannada Sangha members would make a small portion . Deep Kashyap will send out an email on the same regarding what needs to be prepared and the portion.
Further, beginning this week we are planning to have practice of Purandara Dasa Kritis at Deepa Kashyap's place. These songs will be sung on the Aradhana day. Deepa will send the details regarding the timing and the song . We kindly request wholehearted particpation and don't worry if you feel you are not well versed with carnatic music ( I am in the same loop too, however I am participating, being bold here) . The objective is to sing with our heart in praise of the lord. Please send an email to Deepa if you are interested to be part of this wonderful occasion. Hope to see you all there.
Please call for more information at 402-915-0757
Again, we Look forward to your continued support and encouragement.
Thank You,
Asha
