Dear Savitriji,
We are spellbound watching the divine extravaganza from the girls last night’s arangetram. Thanks for inviting us to immerse in the blissful performance. All the praise goes to the ever tireless guru who is dedicated to bring the best out of the performers. It was surreal and we were absolutely flabbergasted. It was impeccable, flawless and all the more very engaging the audience with the facial expressions and all the bhavams and foot movements with the Jathis. The girls are sure to watch in the future with more performances. Thanks again and take care, God bless all. Om Namashivaya.

Congratulations to Savitribhen and Chakras Performing Arts on the launch of their website - a wonderful way to share the passion globally! It has been incredibly inspiring to see Savitribhen, a South African dance icon, continue to create work of a high standard and fine detail all the way in Australia for the past 14 years. Newcastle is immensely fortunate to have Chakras as a propagator of authentic Indian arts and culture and I wish the academy many more successes and treasured memories in years to come. In a fast changing world, Savitribhen, the students and parents deserve much praise as they remain firm in their mission - may the passion always burn bright and strong!
