Indian culture
and history are among the oldest in the world, and have successfully
been passed through the generations and across oceans. To
celebrate this rich culture and its priceless values, a grand
cultural program, “Sanskruti”, was held at the Continental
Airlines Arena in New Jersey.
BAPS children
and youths put on an extraordinary performance through dances,
dramas, kirtans, and speeches, all acclaiming the greatness
and sophistication of India’s ideals and traditions. The audience
was amazed by special effects, such as the lasers, fireworks,
and multimedia presentations that supplemented the program.
Saints also impressed
the audience with their talents in traditional Indian sangeet
as well as their wisdom and eloquence in speech. Senior saints
and Pramukh Swami Maharaj in his blessings focused on the
promotion and preservation of Indian culture and values.
The Governor
of New Jersey, James McGreevey, along with several other politicians
joined the devotees to witness the magnificent program,
made divine by the presence of Swamishri.
