Tara dances in Orissa

Having entered into Mother India through the door of the Sakyadhita Women in Buddhism Conference in the Vaishali district of Bihar, we have left the colder North and headed south along the East Coast to Orissa. With two days in the area of beach side Puri and a powerful day of dancing on the ancient dance mandapam at the Sun Temple of Konark, and a moving evening of dancing with the children at a school for orphans founded and run by Prema's long time friends, we have moved our center of activity to Bhubaneshwar to enjoy the wonderful dance festival here for a couple of days. With our senses all alert and awash in the many sites, smells, encounters, sounds, and feeling of India we enter our third week of journeying and continue to spin the wheels of Mother Tara’s light and love into the world. Om Tare! Jai Mata di! Jai Hind! Om Shanti... For pictures from our earlier posts please scroll down.
