I am writing this after 3 days of our temple festival. We all have a wonderful time back in my village. There I can see the innocent smiles on the faces of my villagers. Everywhere I find the happiness. There is a special attraction of goddesses Kali in the festival times, seeming like she is more powerful.
It’s a festival of many, festival of lights, sounds, music, color, togetherness, love, compassion, flowers, devotion, etc. How can I describe “The Feeling of Difference”?
The pooja’s conducted in front of the Kali makes each a divine feeling. The devotees participated in worships with utmost concentration and I think they get the result in return at once.
Many cultural programs staged in these 3 important days.
1st day it’s the time for the drama named ‘Muthappan’, by Kozhikode Sankeerthana. A high pitched classical ancient historical drama which owns about 42 awards in different categories. I watched it with a keen interest. Though I am craze about the live theatre.
2nd day we have eared for the voice of living legend Shri. Kedamangalam Sadanandan, well known story teller (Kadhaprasangam) in Malayalam language. While going through ‘Karnan’, an important character in the famous Indian epic Mahabharata, we can feel we are with Karnan and the old Indian heritage. After the story telling I met him in person and talked with Sadanandan master. It was a great opportunity for me. Though he is around 83 years of age still powerful in his art form and talks and his excellent memories. No doubt he is a versatile genius.
Last was the day for classical music and dance. A 7th standard girl named Niya Joy’s first stage program was conducted. She has a thrilling voice. She secured many prizes and won many competitions. She started from low tempo and reached the high at the end of the concert. The magnificent dance performance by Amalu Shaji and Prathibha Kalamandalam brings the audience on to the horizons.
I took part in these sacred days actively. I wandered temple premises most of the times alone. Its my wish and it happened!
