Nrsimha_dasa_108 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 Very nice! Was this the actual music they sk8ed to, or did you so nicely add it? Hari Bol! Quote
Jahnava Nitai Das Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Posted February 24, 2006 This is the real music they used. Quote
Nrsimha_dasa_108 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 If some athlete would actually use vedic melodies & chanting in their routine? Quote
Nrsimha_dasa_108 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 I meant, if more of them would. Quote
gHari Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 The audience even clapped along nicely. They placed 20th, but I give them GOLD. The dot on her foreheaqd, his shirt and the dance stylings are all India divine. The look in her eyes as the music begins is so elegant. "Govindam adi-purusam". Hundreds of thousands in their country have now heard these enchanting words of Lord Brahma. It is a wonderful thing. Quote
Pankaja_Dasa Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Grebenkina and Azroyan? I don't want to say this but when I saw it I thought that women is a nice blond looking girl. Then when I heard that Govindam Prayers. I lost my attraction for her. It was surreal. Quote
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Armenian (as in, from Armenia). It was cool to hear the audience clapping along. I wonder how many folks really saw this, since they're neither American nor medal contenders. I doubt NBC aired this (alas!), but I'd guess it was seen around Europe, especially in Armenia. And I thought they were pretty good. Quote
Pankaja_Dasa Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 I read it wrong. It was nice anyway. When that music turned from Govindam Prayers to Material Music, it was like a shift in consciousness. Quote
gHari Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Let us hope they use the same program for the World Figure Skating Championships March 20-26 in Calgary, Canada. Quote
gHari Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 How did we find out about this amazing thing, and is the sankirtana movement unfolding around us without our knowledge? Quote
gHari Posted June 2, 2006 Report Posted June 2, 2006 .... and a Miss World contestant was interested in Vedic philosophy and danced to Jaya Radha-Madhava: http://veda.harekrsna.cz/site/katerina.htm Quote
