The Association for India's Development(AID), Columbus chapter,
is organizing 	
		"Lakshmi Prabhavam",
an opera ballet based on various aspects of Goddess Lakshmi,
on June 8th at the Columbus (OH) Battelle auditorium. This three
hour cultural marvel is based on five interesting episodes about
the Goddess of wealth and prosperity from the Indian mythology.

	Chitravina N. Ravikiran, who has composed the entire ballet is
a musical genius in his own right. He has skillfully employed
a variety of musical forms and tunes to  bring out the intricacies
and a wealth of emotions. His compositions are truly innovative and
awe-inspiring.

	Smt. Radha, the choreographer of Lakshmi Prabhavam, has to her 
credit ballets like "Jaya Jaya Devi", which ran more than 20 packed
shows all over North America .These were appreciated by both
Indian and Western audiences. In this ballet,she has beautifully depicted
not only people, birds and animals but also inanimate things like
mountain, water and fire, and abstractions like chaos and anger.
Colorfully costumed young male and female dancers have  transformed
the choreographer's vision into reality, transporting the audience to the
scene of action itself. They have exhibited realistic emotions, agility
and grace.

The whole ballet has been narrated by P.C. Ramakrishna (in
English) in his familiar booming baritone . One can just
not afford to miss this wonderful experience!

	ALL PROCEEDS OF THIS PROGRAMME GO TO CHARITY
