Artists and writers have given voice and form to the inaccessible enigma of the Vedic heritage. The timeless lineage has flourished in Americas due to the tireless dedication of the teachers of music, dance, theatre, and literature; it is the backbone of what we call our culture. Our food, our literature, our philosophy, and our day-to-day living are grounded in one essential secret that links it all. In this interactive session, the artist, the performer, the writer, and the cook collaborate in telling the story of their journey as the carriers of that supreme delight.
The constant need to produce something “new,” and it’s connect with the “old.”
