Maharaj, PAMHO AGTSP!

Hanumatpreshaka Production: Inspiring the god of Inspiration.


HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna!!! Thank you for this letter and this work! Who is the god (Not God) of Inspiration? 🐵


The film’s story line is:

A little girl approaches you (with father or adult brother?) to ask the meaning of your name during a Diwali festival where an Odissi/Manipuri dance drama is happening.


The scenes will interchange between English description of Hanuman's feats by you to her, shots of dancers (dances?) on Sanskrit verses, actual scenes with costumes and characters and locations on instrumental music.)


Requesting recomendations for the selection of Sanskrit verses for the following sections:

1) 2 verses inspiring Hanuman before the leap (istadev Vandana part of hanuman mangalacharan dance piece). And 1 verse glorifying him in general (opening verse, setting the scene)


2) I need maybe 4-8 verses describing sita’s plight. This will be choreographed as a solo expressional Odissi Abhinaya piece. One verse’s translation will be selected for poetic English narration in between


3) Verses summarizing Ramayan in 20 min (https://youtu.be/tsscKC7wYYM) Rama’s birth, Sita’s swayamvara, exile, golden dear/kidnapping, Jatayu passes, search party, Hanuman leaps.


4) celebratory verses for grand finale dance on Sita found and Hanuman’s victorious character!

SMDD


HpS - Awk! Gronk! Prkk! SmaCH! 😕

Wow!


We don't even know where to begin to look for such verses?


Is there a Sanskrit Ramayana that we could use?


We don't read Sanskrit... Ooof.. and even if we had the books our eyes are getting weak, the DTC(UT) Spain and India need editing. NIOS Nashville, and consolidating NIOS for future life or dissolution, personal letters to devotees. . .


Hmmm? Who is the audience? Most people Western people haven't the the slightest hint what classical Indian dance is doing, no?


For a cultured Indian audience?


Let us look at the other post.


Prabhupada made Rathayatra appreciable to some people!!!
