Urvashi Dance Music Art and Cultural Society is going to present a unique creation and presentation “Kaal Shakti” on 8th March 2020 at Kamani Auditorium, from 6 pm onwards. The unique dance, drama ballet presentation will put forth the programs which symbolize the powers of Shiva in form of its incarnations of Stree Shakti as Sita, Draupadi or Ahillya, Urmila in form of mother, sister, daughter in different ages. This presentation not only shows the empowered forms of females but also the various facets of females in the society and aims to pay tribute to these strong women who embody the female strength of Shiv, within them.
The grand event, conceptualized under the leadership of Kathak exponent and social activist Dr Rekha Mehra, President of Urvashi Dance, Music, Art and Cultural Society is scheduled on the eve of World Women’s Day. The event will also honor a few eminent women who have empowered the society at large and symbolizes the creative powers of the universe. The event will start with a small workshop by Dr Anju Sharma, a Psychiatrist, Sound & Energy Master. This will be followed by a 15 minutes long performance by Sound Of Infinity, Asia’s first healing band founded by Dr Anju Sharma.
Dr. Rekha Mehra sharing a brief about the event,says “Kaal Shakti is our way for dedicating and empowering those women who have braved all the odds to make a niche for themselves. We will show an aspect of Shiva – Kaal Shakti where Shiva and Shakti complete each other. Our nature and energy derive the strength from Shakti.”
Going forward, the show will depict a scene of a Yajna where Daksha invites all the gods and kings of the world, except Lord Shiva. When Daksha’s youngest daughter Sati goes for the yajna, he repeatedly snubbed her and also insulted her husband Shiva in front of all the dignitaries. He continued shouting repugnant words against Shiva. Sati felt deep remorse for not listening to her beloved husband. Sati was unaware of her power all these while, but after the bearless humiliation of husband, she realizes her power and cursed Daksha for acting so awfully towards her husband and then Sati committed suicide by jumping into the sacrificial fire.
Dr Rekha Mehra further adds, “Today, some women feel vulnerable and live in fear. So, we will finish the program with a Tarana that will spread the message to those women that they are strong enough to live an equal life and can raise their voice against all the injustice happening around.”
For past five years, Urvashi Dance, Music, Art and Cultural society is taking initiatives for the betterment of the underprivileged citizens of our society and is organizing various programs and activities that provide a platform for the weaker sections of the society to showcase their talent, increase their opportunities and empower them to work towards a better tomorrow.
