• The songs shared are in Sanskrit, Hindi, Tamil, Telegu and English. We also have one item sung in a Quwali style.
• The Poet will share the stories of the past times through the items and linking them by reading different aspects of the Srimad Bhagavatam & The Bhagavatgita, that are appropriate to each item.
• Our Iskon Devotee representing Krishna will enlighten us about the reasons for each Leela and why is it our destiny to have certain experiences with the Lord or why because of a Karmic cycle do certain experiences occur. All this would be recited and taken from the Srimad Bhagvatam.

• ALL THE ITEMS WILL SHOWCASE THE DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE WITH OUR RADIANT DARK LORD, FROM MOTHER, LOVER, FRIEND, BHAKTHA, GOPI, AND AS DRAUPADI. THE MAIN ITEM OF THE BALLET WOULD BE A VARNAM, CHINNE' KRISHNA IN RAGAM ATANA, SHARING THE GREAT EPIC STORIES OF SRI KRSNA LINKED TO THE SRI BRAHMA SAMHITA.
