Indian Cultural Fest – 2010
Dear Friends,
Hare Krishna!
Indian Culture is a beacon to give direction to the world especially in the current times. Yoga, which is a great gift of the east is now popular all over the world and is helping people improve their physical and mental health. Not only this but vast gamut of Indian culture which includes music, dance and food has a lot to offer to the world. It is easy for those who have had some access to it, to help distributing this gift to others.
As an effort to distribute this gift to the residents of Pittsburgh, we are glad to announce the 2nd Annual India Cultural Fest on September 25th. ICF-2009 was a good success considering the fact that it was the first festival of its kind.
With great enthusiasm and high spirits we are getting ready for the 2nd festival. Like last year, the cultural events will include Dance, Dramas, Devotional singing and kirtans.
A new feature of this years ICF will be “The First Gita Sloka Recitation Competition”. Children from ages 5-15 will have the opportunity to participate in this and overall we will be able to cover a few important chapters of the Gita. The Gita recitation will bring in great auspicious for the festival. Please visit http://folkpgh.com/sloka/ for details of sloka competition, registration, donation page.
