Krishna Janmastami Celebration


UMFA - Utah Museum of Fine Arts exhibiting Hindu god Krishna


Utah's flagship art museum, Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA), will have an exhibition on Hindu Lord Krishna starting August eight.

Running till November 20 in the Museum's Emma Eccles Jones Education Gallery, this Krishna exhibition “explores the Hindu god Krishna through sacred and secular artworks, dating from the 11th century to the 20th, from the Museum's Asian art collection. Krishna promised followers that through bhakti (devotion) to him, one could gain moksha (salvation).”

Applauding UMFA for organizing Hinduism focused exhibition, Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, said that art had a long and rich tradition in Hinduism and ancient Sanskrit literature talked about religious paintings of deities on wood or cloth.

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, also commended UMFA for Hindu artifacts in its permanent collections; which included images of Hindu deities Shiva, Vishnu, Durga, Ganesha, Lakshmi, Hanuman, Saraswati, etc.

Rajan Zed urged major art museums of the world, including Musee du Louvre and Musee d'Orsay of Paris, Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Los Angeles Getty Center, Uffizi Gallery of Florence (Italy), Art Institute of Chicago, Tate Modern of London, Prado Museum of Madrid, National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, etc., to frequently organize Hindu art focused exhibitions, thus sharing the rich Hindu art heritage with the rest of the world.

The Utah Museum of Fine Arts, a university and state art museum whose history goes back to early 1900s, claims to be “Utah's primary cultural resource for global visual arts” and having “a comprehensive collection of over 5,000 years of art from around the world”. Per its mission statement, it “inspires critical dialogue”. Located on the University of Utah campus in Salt Lake City, it claims to preserve over 19,000 original art objects. Gretchen Dietrich and George Lindsey are Executive Director and Deputy Director respectively.

Threading is an ancient Asian method of removing hair using pure cotton thread. It is the best alternative for individuals with sensitive skin. No use of chemicals helps avoid the redness, bumps, and swelling. This process removes hair from the root level so the re-growth of hair takes longer time than other methods like waxing. This process gives a detailed result as one hair can be plucked out at a time. Give it a try and see how beautiful you can look with slim, well-shaped, and detailed eyebrows.

India fest 2013

Utah's Krishna Temples will host the Annual India Fest 
September 28 in Spanish Fork & 29 in Salt Lake City.

After 26 increasingly successful years of India Fest, few people in Utah County are unaware that, once a year, you can go to India without spending a lot of money. You can have India right in -- of all places -- Spanish Fork! Now, this year an additional India fest will be held in Salt Lake City. The Sunday event in SLC will involve the same entertainers & Ramayana drama as in Spanish Fork, but will be held indoors for a maximum of 400 people, and, obviously, no fireworks.

Over 4,000 people attended last year’s celebration in Spanish Fork, and the second, more modest SLC event will give a chance to visitors who want the same basic event without straying out of the city that weekend.

Admission is $3.00 person/$1.00  children.

Set around the Rajastani-style, multi-domed temple, the eight acre festival site will feature world class entertainment, cuisine, a gift shop, henna hand decorating, art, photography, cultural exhibits on India, a gala pageant of the epic Ramayana, the burning of a 20’ high ten-headed demon named Ravana, and spectacular fireworks.

Schedule of Performances
5:00 pm, Kirtan By Jai Krishna Das & Friends

SriLatha Bio  Pictures

I am a Bharatanatyam dancer, who trained first under the Guru Dhananjayans in Chennai, and then Guru Kalyani Shekhar in Delhi. I then lost touch with dance for about 15 years, until I revived my passion and interest for this ancient art form, under the instruction of Divya Narayanan. Dance is the language of my soul, communicating with the divine. This classical dance form takes me back through the centuries of tradition that flow through my veins. I have a PhD in Mathematics and my day job involves quantitative equity modelling?
Here are the items we will perform.
1. Mallari (dance evoking a traditional temple circumnambulation  of the deity preceeded by musical instruments and dance)
2. Devi Stuti ( an offering to the mother goddess) 
3. Muralidhara Kauthuvam ( in praise of Krishna)
4. Bala Kanaka Maya Chela ( a Thyagaraja hymn where he asks Lord Rama for compassion)
5. Rusli Radha ( a tiff between Radha and Krishna reflected in all of Brindavan/Gokul)
6. Mangalam ( a note of blessing for the whole world)

Srilatha Kids

Students who will perform with Sri Latha Are: Malavika Singh and Arundhati Oommen (9 years old), Sahana Balaji (10 years old), Maya Jammulapati (12 years old)

Ravana SunsetThe main event 7:30 pm, will be a pageant of the world's most loved epic, the Ramayana. It culminates at 8:30 pm with the spectacular burning of the effigy of evil Ravana with flaming arrows and fireworks. *Please note this last part of the burning of the effigy and fireworks will occur only in Spanish Fork. In SLC the pageant of the Ramayana will stop short of that point. Otherwise, both day's programs will be the same.

There are 400 parking spaces on the temple property. Parking is free. There is no need to park on the road, and walk a long way to the event. It is also advised to bring a blanket for sitting in the grass amphitheater and a jacket for the slight cooling after 8 pm.
