We learned a lot from the show and enjoyed every moment of it. Please keep on doing the show for a long time. May God bless you all. -Dr. Hasi Das. _________________ My family and I want to thank you for the beautiful and informative performance of "The Life of Gautama Buddha" which we attended at Purchase College. We appreciated the fusion of Eastern and Western - which was quite interesting and which I believe made the experience easier for those who were not familiar with Indian music, dancing and singing. My 14 year old son said that he thought the acting was very good, and we agree! As for myself, seeing the relationship of the prince to his family, especially his father, made all of their difficult decisions seem more real in the context of our choices in our modern world. I hope that you will return to our part of the world so that we may enjoy the broadening experience of your performances. -BookIesmom _______________ June 18, 2002 Thank you for adding us to your distribution list on the activities of Namaskar foundation. We had the opportunity to see the Life of Gautama Buddha last week in Purchase, NY. It was wonderful. Keep up the good work in attracting high quality talent to the US.One suggestion I would make is that the announcer state that cell phones be turned off during the show. It is distracting to the audience, and even worse for the performers. Thanks -Amer Amembal ________________ Good afternoon...Ms Prabhakar... We really enjoyed the show on Sat and the one before at Rich Forum in Stamford, CT. Vrinda Patel has been extremely helpful in successfully promoting the show with her great email-ship. I think we are already hooked on to the Namaskaar Foundation and are looking forward to the forth coming events. I also wanted to know....How can our company become one of the sponsors' for the events...The name of our company is Data Square and is based in downtown Stamford.

Naseeruddin Shah's play "ismat apa ke naam" interests me, please provide me with the details. It is for Dallas. We will do it for foundation for pluralims a non-profit orgn. and possibly AID or ASHA organizations. Thanks - Mike Ghouse 214-325-1916 FOUNDATION FOR PLURALISM PROMOTING RELIGIOUS PLURALISM AND SECULAR VALUES I believe knowledge leads to understanding, and understanding to acceptance and appreciation of people with a different point of view. If we can learn to accept and respect the God given uniqueness to each one of the 6 billion of us, then conflicts fade and solutions emerge. _______________________________ Dear Vrunda, "Buddha" has been the talk of the town here since it played to a nearly full house of a 1000 people on June 9. Everyone loved it. This was the first timewe had a nearly 70% non-Indian audience. Can't wait to present "Dance Like a Man" on August 31, as the opener to our 3 day Dance, Drama & Music Festival. Could you please let me know which artists you are bringing in for your World Music & Dance Festival next spring? Perhaps we can organize some of their performances here in Houston, under the auspices of Samskriti? In fact, is there a possibility for us to network with you and Ketki in helping bring India's best artists to this country? I have a lot of contacts with well-known Indian dancers all over the world. You are doing an excellent service to the arts by presenting such high caliber programs. To quite an extent, we have taken inspiration from Namskar's tireless Director, i.e. you, and from the diverse programming that you do for your organization. This year has been very good to us, and we hope to do even beter next year. Thanks for blazing the trail for us. Sincerely, 713 772 ARTS _______________ Dear Sir/Madam, We really enjoyed the Life drama. It was just little too long. Withoutintermission became very lengthy.
