Kabir in Navadarshanam

Had gone to three day workshop on kabir songs, was sure it was going to be good..as i knew hearing Prahalad ji sing in person gonna be a great experience. What i did not knew then was how simple and frank he was as a person too...he is extremely warm and very down to earth. When i first saw him in the kitchen, i was not sure whether i would feel comfortable talking to him or not...but as the days progressed felt completely at ease to share my views and thoughts. Its amazing to meet people who walk their talk, he is a true follower of kabir.

Another thing that added to this magic was Navadarshanam, in specific Ananthu Ji. A place that follows the vision of the place to the core, teaching us all how to co-exist with surroundings and what we really need.
Being in the place itself, was an experience in itself. Eco friendly architecture, food, simplicity and warmth of people around just touched me so much. Coming to the place was like recharging oneself to full :)

Hearing Ananthu Ji talk is an experience in itself, he explained things so clearly...making us appreciate the poetry even more. Will always remember his child like laughter and the warmth he gave each one of us.

As a bonus, we got to hear some renditions of poetry from southern India by poets like purandara dasa. It was amazing to realize that all learned people, told the same thing. 

Overall it was a great experience, it was also nice meeting people from different backgrounds. Would like to thank Nikita and Anju for organizing it and giving me this great opportunity to experience this.
