SCENE 1 A NEW BEGINNING<\/span>
\nTime is creation. Time is dissolution. Time is unbounded by our needs and expectations. This journey begins at birth as the Jiva\u2019s mother calls out in prayer and dance inviting the spirit soul into her womb. A Cyr wheel artist embodies time stitching together moments of Jiva\u2019s life right until he is met with sobering news. We can lose track of time running after things, holding onto old grudges and before we know it someone that was so dear us is gone. Jiva reflects on his experiences.<\/p>\n

SENE 2 QUEEN OF ILLUSIONC<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Bhagavad Gita, Krsna speaks about the illusory energy of the material world called
\nMaya. Like the clouds that cover the sun, Maya clouds our consciousness from our true
\nnature. Maya, the Queen of Illusion, takes center stage in a breathtaking dance displaying her powers as she mesmerizes her dancers into a spell. A Kathak piece accompanied by
\ncontemporary dance.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1652978120901{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

SCENE 3 FINAL RITES<\/span>
\nJiva travels to India for the funeral ceremony and cremation of his father. Set upon the
\nbackdrop of Varnasi the Jiva journeys to the banks of the holy river Ganga where the funeral pyre is set. From Spring to Winter, from Life to Death the body is a garment swept away in the winds of existence. A sobering scene reflecting the temporariness of life is illuminated with knowledge when Jiva picks up the Bhagavad Gita given to him by his father. Krsna speaks to him.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1652978131950{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

SCENE 4 THE DEAL<\/span>
\nJiva has taken over his father\u2019s pharmaceutical business and is about to walk into a very
\nimportant meeting. A new pharmaceutical drug is on the table for discussion that targets the mind in reducing anxiety and depression that comes with many side effects. Kage, Jiva\u2019s close companion and advisor, is introduced here prepping Jiva to step into the meeting and make the deal. Hand to hand, two acrobatic artists represent the delicateness of time when the pressure builds within our minds to make a life altering decision.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1652978143398{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

SCENE 5 THE MODES OF MATERIAL NATURE<\/span>
\nAs we dive in the Maya\u2019s world, the conjurer Queen takes us on a riveting journey of the three modes of material nature. They are the paths of darkness and ignorance, passion and selfcenteredness, goodness and unity that we choose to operate within as we traverse this world. Darkness is expressed in a fusion ensemble of Kalaripayattu martial arts and contemporary dance. Passion weaves into the fabric of the modes through an energetic Kathak dance presentation. Goodness unwinds the knots of darkness and passion into peaceful and beautiful Bharatanatyam dance piece<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1652978157109{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

SCENE 6 THE BATTLE<\/span>
\nNews reports are surfacing about the negative side effects of the pharmaceutical drug
\nendorsed by Jiva\u2019s company. An aerial strap duet represents the fragility of Jiva\u2019s mind
\nholding on by a thread as he finds himself breaking down due to stress. Two dancers present Jiva\u2019s mind in a battle of positive and negative forces expressed in Kathak and Bharatnatyam.The battle persists as Jiva faces Kage in a lyrical war of words.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1652978167221{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

SCENE 7 REMEMBERING<\/span>
\nMaya falls into a sweet remembrance being in the spiritual world with Krsna. She remembers why she was entrusted with her service. An aerial silk performance unravels Maya\u2019s descent from the spiritual into the material world. The delicate threads of her devotion weave the connection from her heart to the divine. Maya presents a Kathak dance of devotion<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1652978178077{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

SCENE 8 SELF-REALIZATION<\/span>
\nThrough the practice of meditation over the months, Jiva has tamed his mind in preparation to unwind the deeper stresses of his life. From a vulnerable heart he yearns for guidance and calls out to Krsna. Krsna meets him in the streets of Mumbai and shares the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1652978189421{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

SCENE 9 THE AWAKENING<\/span>
\nThe veils of illusion have been lifted from Jiva\u2019s eyes revealing the divine within his heart and all beings. Empowered to walk the path of truth and service he stands tall as a spiritual warrior ready to fight on the battlefield of materialism. He realizes that he can operate from a place of service even in his pharmaceutical company. He can use this company as a platform to heal the world on a massive scale. Krsna gives him a staff that represents braving the turbulence of illusion, harnessing balance through mantra meditation and living a life of non violence and finally walking his path of purpose.<\/p>\n
