THE AMERICAN TOUR OF SMT.VISHAKHA HARI










1)      After performing in Washington Smt. Vishakha Hari gave a two day programme at Boston on 19th May and 20th May. It was at the Chinmaya mission hall. The auditorium is beautiful with very good acquistics. The first day topic was Sundara Kandam as the Chinmaya mission has an Anjenaya temple downstairs. The second day topic was Krishna leela. Both days there was a huge standing ovation and the crowd wanted more and more. . Both the programmes were in Tamil.
2)      On 25th May Smt Vishakha Hari gave an English harikatha on Krishna leela at San Diego. Here too the auditorium was very beautiful. Many Americans  listened to the harikatha and were spellbound by it. It was heartening to see tears in their eyes and the joy of listening to it. They continuosly clapped and seemed to be a record standing ovation.
.
3)      On 27th at Los Angeles she performed Prahlada charitram in English before a packed audience at the Hoover auditorium.
4)      On 28th- Monday- Memorial holiday the performance was a Tamil harikatha at San Jose.  The hall was full, stage was full. Everywhere there were keen rasikas who literally danced and felt bliss and conveyed it aptly. For a minute it was doubtful whether it was Mylapore- Mambalam or San Jose. Such was the response and reaction.

Also on the way to the U.S Smt. Vishakha Hari performed parvathy kalyanam in east London in Tamil and Krishna leela in Bharthiya Vidya Bhavan in English. Both performances were houseful and a grand success.
