Day of Bliss
Mayapura, West Bengal
Today was a perfect day of bliss. And why that is so is because the hard work of assembling a major theatre production came to fruition. It was staged and it was loved.
It is a fact that walking ventures have not been at a passionate speed. A nasty cough has been running me physically down. The show, however, our production of "Krishna the 8th Boy" which had one week's preparation, was pulled off leaving an audience satisfied. That compensated for the lack of doing what I love - walking.
We had to do some cutting and pasting to the piece. One segment of the play just doesn't work. A particular melancholy mood in one scene seemed to drag on so a decision had to be made. I had to abort that segment, as difficult as it was. The critical eye must always be alive in order to remove undesirables.
The program flyer that was distributed to the audience which arrived from the printers minutes before the show was a slick masterpiece with title in front, "Krishna the 8th Boy". An image of Krishna's eyes and brow is set there. Inside is a picture of our guru, Srila Prabhupada, sitting on a rocking chair. It was a photo of my choice because it was in this image that you see him having enjoyed a drama about Krishna. It was staged in New York. It is a classic photo.
Also in the program was a synopsis of the story, scene by scene, with bio-sketches.
This was a production that really pleased people. I'm happy about the outcome. Therefore I said that it was a perfect day of bliss.
I want to thank all the cast and crew, especially Bhumi for being the evening's host.
