on 7th Sept 1996 from 9AM - 8PM at Matawan High School in NewJersey
**********************************************************************
** You are all invited to attend this historic event!!!
** Satavadhanam is a wonderful literary art that exists in no other language
in the world except Samskrutm, Telugu and Kannada! In this art,
the avadhaani replies simultaneously to questions related to various fields
of literature from several pRchchakas.
This art requires tremendous memory, eloquence, creativity, wit and
knowledge of the avadhaani in various fields of literature. We are all very
fortunate to witness this endangered art form coming back to life in recent
times. There are very few persons left in India who can still perform this
literary extempore with tremendous creativity and presence of mind in this
modern era and Sri Nagaphani Sarma is among the best.
** For the 1st time in the USA, SATAVADHANAM in Samskrutam and Telugu
will be performed by an artist who brought this art form close to the
common people and made it an extremely enjoyable program for the whole
family including youngsters, musicians and even people who are not well
versed with the Samskrutam and Telugu.
* Free For All - Lunch and Coffee will be served.
* Active Participation by audiences including the youngsters
in English and Hindi languages.
* Sri Sarma's unique contribution to this art - "My Song to Your
Question" is extremely popular with everybody ncluding youngsters.
* Program begins at sharp 9 AM even with the limited audience since
this is the first time ever a Sataavadhanam is being performed in
just 1 day.
* Since this art requires high degree of concentration for the
Avadhani, maximum silence and discipline is requested from the audience.
