Gauracandra 1 Report post Posted December 26, 2002 Some pics I found. I really like the Manipuri look. I've only seen a few of the deities but they were really beautiful. These are dancers in the role of Radha and Krsna. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gauracandra 1 Report post Posted December 26, 2002 I like the veil which seems to be particular to the Manipuri Radha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gauracandra 1 Report post Posted February 28, 2003 I've seen the Manipuri dance troupe doing martial arts, drums, and kirtan. Unfortunately, I've never seen the actual Manipuri dance. I've always found the Manipuri look to be so colorful and beautiful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Narayanidd 1 Report post Posted February 28, 2003 Hari Bol, When I was staying at the New Orleans temple I got the wonderful opportunity to see the dance troop perform. They did martial arts, kirtana, great mrdanga playing, some folk dances, and most importantly the Rasa lila dance. It was beautiful!! They have such a unique style! The New Orleans temple room isn't very big either so we were up close and personal. They manipuri devotees stayed for a day or so and were wonderful association! They emulated simple living and high thinking! I remember speaking with one of the matajis thinking she was my age. I found out later she was in her mid forties!! She didn't look a day past 24! They were physical proof that a life of Bhakti yoga truely keeps you healthy, wealthy, and wise! I hope to see them dance again someday it is a wonderful experiance! Your servant, Narayani d.d.
