Meera - The Soul Divine
This production is an attempt to look at the life of Meera from the perspective of a spiritual journey, rather than a historical one. Born a princess, into the lap of luxury, Meera renounced it all, to follow a spiritual quest and thereby, came to be hailed by all posterity, as one of the greatest saint poetesses of Bharatvarsha (India). She was a woman of deep conviction, was defiant of the blind strictures of societal norms and had unshakeable faith in Krishna. The bonding with her beloved Giridhari was perhaps one that covered several janmas (births).

Arrangement for dinner after the show
For your convenience, we have arranged for an elegant Asian Fusion Buffet dinner after the show ends at 7 PM. This will be held at the Mosaic restaurant located at the Four Points Hotel by Sheraton, only a 5 minute walk from the California Theater. The cost of the dinner is only $25 per person, but tickets must be bought in advance here. This will be a fun way to end a lovely evening, mixing with friends, and meeting the artists after they have changed and packed.
