A Womens' Discussion Group

Speaker: Rukmini Devi Dasi
Topic: Devotional Theater
Bhakti is love in action and emotion. With theatre one may experience and share this. When the stage becomes an altar, our body, words, thoughts, and feelings are all simply an offering. One may zoom into the life of spiritual giants such that others can reach out and touch them. With devotional theatre I have felt the ancient texts come alive and the thirst to feel quenched.
‘Poetic’ is one of the qualities attributed to a devotee of Krishna, one that should come naturally as we practice Krishna Bhakti. What does ‘poetic’ mean and what does a more poetic life look like? Join us as we explore this topic and learn from each other.
