 Leeye
Parabrahmani
Absorption in the Absolute
Leeye Parabrahmani is a unique Bharatanatyam
program which presents the theme of Nava Vidha Bhakti, the nine
types of devotion to God. Through dance and music, it seeks to highlight
the eternal truth that, with faith, devotion and intense yearning, the
individual human soul will surely reach the feet of the Lord, and merge
in the Supreme Brahman.
From hearing the name of the Lord, "Sravanam",
to complete surrender, "Atma Nivedanam", the nine varieties
of devotional experience are brought to life using the songs of India's
great saints and composers, including Purandaradasa, Tulsidas, Thyagaraja,
Subramanya Bharati, Ramprasad and Bhartruhari. These songs are in seven
different languages, to stress the universality of the message of this work,
which knows no bounds of community, race or religion.Entertaining, educative,
and, above all, inspiring, Leeye Parabrahmani has been enthusiatically
received by audiences as a profoundly moving theatrical and spiritual experience.
