The 8K TAMIL Express picked up the work that Minneapolis G.O.D Satsang and Layyasaaram Institute of Indian Arts do in Minneapolis, in conjunction with GOD MN chapter’s annual Spirit Of Margazhi festival!
Non-Thamizh readers, the article pivots around children and families immersed in culture and spirituality in Minnesota in the form of Ashtapadis and Thiruppavai renditions during Margazhi, the Deiva Thamizh Isai Vizha, which brings works of noted Thamizh composers including Arunagirinathar (Thiruppugazh), Oothukkadu Venkatasubbiyer, Papanasam Sivan, Ambujam Krishna alongside with the Madhuragitams of His Holiness Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji to the forefront.
An organization that aims for integration through culture and spirituality has to be a socially and environmentally conscientious one! The fact that styrofoam and plastics are avoided and prasadam is served in dhonnais or cups made from dried palm leaves is also noted by the author.
