The 14th of February 2009 was the day of the Love Circus organized by the Youth Center. It was a time for love but also for performances and shows. One of them was the first Belly Dance performance of Maria. Dalaj who was there to capture it on film (before going to sleep; he had to wake-up earling next morning for the marathon) shares this first excerpt of the lovely night. Watch carefully and maybe you will recognize one of the radio members dancing around...

On Sunday the 15th of February almost five hundred runners took part in the Auroville Marathon 2009. They came from Auroville, from all over India, and from abroad. Dalaj was there to shoot this event, here is his work. Enjoy!
Since coming to Auroville, Dalaj has been invited to many weddings. The material used for this kaleidoscopic video collage was filmed at the wedding of his Auroville friend. As an illustrator and painter, Dalaj is fascinated by all different kinds of mandalas. Rock Meditation is a part of a wider video art project that the author is working on. The song is taken from his own ed'a'red album, an eclectic mix of musical styles that combine electronic sounds mixed with various live performances using instruments and vocals.

From August 15 to 17 an extraordinary festival took place in the Sri Aurobindo Auditorium in Bharat Nivas: Koi Sunta Hai! - A travelling festival. This festival offered both the opportunity to listen to some of the finest folk-classical-sufi voices of Kabir as well as to journey through 4 documentary films into the spaces touched by Kabir's poetry.
Prahlad Tipanya is one of the most compelling folk voices of Kabir in India today. A village scholl teacher by profession, he lives in Lunyakhedi village in Ujjain district, Madhya Pradesh, and has grown into the most popular singer of Kabir in the Malwi folk tradition.
