The Silent Storyteller

As a kid every past year, the reoccurring Diwali means just same fascinating crackers, mesmerizing lights and yummy sweets and new cloths for me, but today as an young-adult who just stepped into the real world, when ever I think back about the festival of lights with a deep perspective,what i see is an occasion to evacuate the darkness and coldness from our life that we have been enslaved to in terms of surrender to our ignorance and imprisoned to the chains of social and personal en slavery with low self esteem and discrimination, Mother-by vedavyas No one else in this world can understand you more than your mother, she is source of light and life, she breaks the coldness of cowardice with her warmth love as encouragement and she enlightens our brains by wiping of our tears and sweeping out our ignorance .remember how a noble dramatic Indian mother blesses her child by adoring him/her with a veer-thilka on one auspicious day called Dussersa(vijaya dasami) and then she awaits

As told by Odissi guru shri Sri Vishnu Tattva das, In ancient India the temple was the center of learning, culture, religion and art. In Orissa, in north eastern India, in the temple of Lord Jagannath, "Lord of the Universe", religious rituals, music, and dance were combined together to create the highly sculpturesque and devotional dance style, Odissi. According to archeological evidence, Odissi is one of the oldest surviving dance forms of India, dating back to the 1st and 2nd century BC; Mahari legend and oral tradition hold that its origins date back even further. In the Natya Shastra, an ancient text on music, dance, and drama, considered to be the 5th Veda, the sage Bharata Muni describes Odissi as the dance from Odra-Magadhi and Utkal, the traditional names for the region now known as Orissa. The graceful and flowing movements of this art form have been captured in stone in many temple sculptures throughout Orissa.   Painting of Odissi dan
