Hindu Heritage Day 2011

This was a great event. This event brought a crowd of about 2,000 people who love and adore Indian Heritage - and it included some of my clients, too.

Hindu Heritage Day is bring celebrated in Boston area for last few years - since 2005, if I remember correctly. It was held at Marlboro Middle School.

This year's theme was SHIV-SHAKTI.  From the website of this

This year Hindu Heritage Day had the theme of ShivShakti. Shivam as the male core, the powerhouse, the intense yet still being; and Shakti as the female energy emanating from this core – the illusion, the brilliant light. The interplay of stillness and vibrant action, of strength and beauty, of power and grace; of white purity turning into vivid colors. The contrast between the calm emotion-free state, and the highs and lows of joy and despair, laughter and tears.

Here is a little snippet of this program:

Praful - thank you for, yet again, another informational post.  I love learning about other cultures, backgrounds, etc - it's what makes this world so interesting - our diversity.

This was so cute. Some of those little kids couldn't even reach the microphone. Were any of them yours, per chance?

Thanks for stopping by Juli, Elizabeth.

@Juli, wanted to post something local for this month's challenge - and thought, this is my niche, might as well consider it to be local for us. I think I should blog more about Indian culture here.

@Elizabeth, my kids are grown up enough for the mike...lol. They did not participate in this - though both of them are talented - my daughter is good in Indian classical dance and son in bollywood style dances. I will post about some of the 'Argangetram' (graduation in classical dance - recital program) soon. There are a few coming up this summer.

Hope you liked the video - little amateurish but still a good attempt by all the children.

Praful, thank you for information about the Hindu Heritage Day. I have a great appreciation for Hindu culture and truly enjoyed your video. The children, although so young, seem to understand and enjoy their heritage.
