Meera, The Soul Divine

What a mesmerizing performance by Chitra Visweshwaran and Chidambaram Dance School, with the voice of Bombay Jayashri and her disciples! For a couple of hours, they took us to the days of Meera and let us rejoice in Meera's mindset, with no care in the world : just her along with her divine Krishna! It was a beautiful journey with multiple short stories built in, very well portrayed, stage by stage, by multiple dancers, all the way till Meera transcends bakthi to see Krishna within herself!

Each stage of the life of Meera, from an immature child to a mature, transcended adult, was portrayed very nicely by different dancers. This enabled each person in the audience to be able to relate to different stages in Meera's life. A lot of detail in the story was covered, to give a sense of completion and thoroughness. A charming snake dance, Krishna's Kalinga Nardhana, added to the spectacular nature of this dance drama. Meera's futile attempts to actually see Krishna, her frustration in her inability to be in his physical presence, finally culminating in self realization of Meera, was a simply stunning climax.

Pujiya Swami's words came to my mind multiple times during the show - Self realization, beauty of advaita, the reality of how charity helps the giver and receiver. While the children get Free Student Homes, education, health care and a life style, I got the purpose of my life fulfilled!

Don't miss this rare opportunity to be with Meera in the city nearest to you!

AIM for Seva is an organization providing free student homes (FSH) for children in rural villages, giving children shelter, guardianship, school supplies, uniforms, homework assistance, extra-curricular activities and medical facilities, thereby making them self-reliant and self-confident individuals.

AIM for Seva organization was founded by Pujiya Swami Dayananda Saraswathi in year 2000, to address the main problem in rural education India, which is access to schools and hence high dropout rates. Free Student Homes are built in proximity to existing government schools, reducing the distances children have to walk, improving the attendance and their performance in schools. AIM for Seva supports children for a period of 7-10 years till they become productive citizens of our society.

 FSH also follow environmentally friendly practices and innovative digital learning techniques. The goal is to have 200 operational FSH in the year 2020. All donations for this cause are exempt from tax under Section 501 © (3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code. Many companies like Cisco Systems, Oracle Corporation, Google Inc... in the Bay Area match this donation to encourage charitable donations. Dance and music school groups get priority and discounts for this unique program.

Make a difference in their lives and yours. Danam, is twice blessed, according to Pujiya Swami Dayananda Saraswathi, as it clearly benefits the giver and the receivers. Take this opportunity to donate to the AIM for Seva cause and enjoy the transcendence of Meera, the soul divine, in the city nearest to you!
