Kyaa Baat Hai ! (How wonderful !)"

Mahant Shri Swami Vishveshwarananda Saraswati, President Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas, heartily welcomes the Film-Team of ABP Ganga Television in the Auditorium of the Omkarananda Saraswati Natya Kala Academy, Institute for Indian Classical Dance and Music, on 12th November 2021.

Kumari Somashekhari, Director Omkarananda Saraswati Natya Kala Academy, is trying to teach to her students the perfect way of an Indian Classical Dance Performance. From left to right: Kumari Avya, Kumari Arpita, Kumari Somashekhari, Kumari Gargi and Kumari Manasvi.

View from the upper part of the beautiful Auditorium. One can see the ABP Ganga Television Team filming the dances of Kumari Somashekhari along with her students.

All dance-students were interviewed by the TV Journalist Prof. Dr. Kumar Raajesh, Consultant-Editorial of ABP Network Television. Here one can see him interviewing the very talented 4-year-old Kumari Gargi, the youngest and cutest dance-student of Kumari Somashekhari. When Kumari Gargi was asked by the Journalist, what she would like to become, when she is grown-up, she spontaneously answered: "When I am grown-up I want to become Ma'am (=Teacher)." When the Journalist further asked her, for which subject she wants to become a teacher, Kumari Gargi, without any hesitation, swiftly and firmly said,  that  she  wants  to  become a "Dance-Wali Ma'am" (= a Dance Teacher). Her confident answer instantly caused a lot of happy smiles and chuckles among the audience.

Mahant Shri Swami Vishveshwarananda Saraswati gave a wonderful interview about Kumari Somashekhari, her life and her work.

Finally the ABP Ganga Television Crew were proceeding to the divine dance-room of Kumari Somashekhari, inside Omkarananda-Shanta-Durga Mandir, where she is practising her own dances. The interview took hours. Kumari Somashekhari's two Sannyasi Guru-Brothers, Mahant Shri Swami Vishveshwarananda Saraswati, President Omkarananda Ashram Himalayas and Shri Swami Satchidananda Saraswati, Treasurer, were patiently and with full attention listening to the questions of Dr. Kumar Raajesh and Kumari Somashekhari's answers.
