The 2018 Holi Pilgrimage with Paramahamsa Vishwananda was an adventure of devotion that took place in the heart of bhakti – Vrindavan Dham. During this pilgrimage, devotees from South Africa, Mauritius, Kenya, Japan, China, Malaysia, and many more, experienced the beautiful festival of colours known as ‘Holi’ and visited many of the sacred sites where Lord Krishna’s leelas took place. Spanning over a time of two weeks, the pilgrimage proved to be a transformational experience for all who attended!

This is a two week assignment. The goal is to create a beautiful “still life” image that stands alone outside of this assignment. Hopefully, at the end of this assignment, we will all print our images and hang them on the wall! I chose this topic because I have never tried a still life, and now it is time. It’s time for everyone to create a work of art! Be creative and good luck!
WIT: Camera flash set to 1/16 or 1/32. fast shutter speed and small aperture to blacken out everything else. Amazing to me because this is with all of the lights in the room on. I held a flash over my wifes hands while triggering the camera with an IR remote.
I cannot promise you a lifetime of sunshine
I cannot promise riches, wealth or gold
I cannot promise you an easy pathway
That leads away from change or growing old
But I can promise all my heart's devotion
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow
A love that's ever true and ever growing
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow...
The month of October saw the conclusion of our annual Forty Hours' devotion as well as the anniversary Gala to close out our 125th parish anniversary!
Forty Hours' Devotion presented our parish family with a beautiful opportunity to adore our Eucharist King enthroned upon the high altar. Upon concluding Forty Hours with benediction, the celebration continued at the While Eagle with a fine meal in the company of over 300 guests.
In addition, several parishioners were recognized for their indispensable support for the parish throughout the years. Last but not least, the Canons were overjoyed to welcome their newest novice, Br. Mateusz Szymański!
This Book of Hours was completed ca. 1440-50, and likely destined for Tournai. The decoration of this manuscript includes two full-page miniatures, eleven extant smaller miniatures, one historiated initial, and one drollery. The illumination is in the style of the Master of Guillebert de Mets, although the work would have been completed during the closing stage of Mets' career. The Master of Guillebert de Mets' principal disciple was the Master of the Ghent Privileges, with whom he may have been in collaboration, as indicated by numerous comparisons (see Dogaer 1987, 33-37). This book begins with a full-page miniature depicting the Mass of St. Gregory, a folio that appears to have been relocated from its original placement just before fol. 180 to its current location as fol. 2. It should be noted that fol. 2 has experienced extensive paint loss and has since been retouched, although it is unknown by whom or at what time. The unpretentious illumination program could have been the reason for this switch, perhaps to make the manuscript more appealing for a potential buyer.

Gatha Odissi - from the temple to the stage
History is not scripted; it gets created over the ages. It transforms itself according to the tides of life and times. Therefore, from the point of view of the present, how does one view the entire panorama of Odissi Dance, which has traveled through an arduous journey of nearly two thousand years?
After the sunrise, comes the dark hour of the sunset. But the rhythmic foot falls of Odissi dance, however, continue to reverberate from within the dark corridors of history.
Around the middle of Ninteenth century a new resolve paves the way for the resurrection of the flagging traditions of Odissi Dance. The danseuse damsels break out of their stony incarnation from temple-walls and metamorphose into life. In this hour of revival, the great Gurus of our times create a whole new grammar of Odissi. The genesis of Mangalacharan, Pallavi, Sthayi, Abhinaya and Moksha, which form the superstructures of Odissi, spring up from the sub-structures of the allied art forms and folk forms of Odisha such as Mahari, Gotipua, Sakhi Nata, Raasa and Leela.
Through brief narrations and symbolic images Odisha Dance Academy spins the story of transformation and resurgence of Odissi Dance spanning from the Jagannath Temple of Puri right up to the contemporary stage.
