A Genius / Rasika !
To enjoy the bliss of Art ,a true artist is supposed to involve to an extent where he/she dissolves the individual identity. Same applies to a sahrudaya rasika ( audience).
I have always wondered if it was possible for connoisseurs,critics & geniuses specially when they are so filled with knowledge (which actually gives them that identity)
But it seems that if they truly understand the POWER of Art & have a magnanimous heart , they can feel it too.
This was proved by the great genius BMK sir ( Dr.Bala Murali Krishna) who was in the audience last night in our performance at Vivekananda Yoga Kendra Jigani.
He said “I forgot the names of these ( pointing at us) I forgot my name or where I was but all I saw was Krishna & the Gopis...This is the POWER OF ART ! "
We surrendered to him for two reasons ,one is that because of him ,our dream of sharing our love in front of great masters was realized & the other ,that we saw a A REAL LIVING LEGEND - GENUIS WITH A MAGNANIMOUS HEART !
