Deb Bodhon

Man witnesses continual assaults on all we hold sacred, in the world around us today. Uncaring passivity, unkind

actions and selfish thoughts - we see massive injustices being perpetuated against our own every day. How do we

make sense of the evil? When all seems futile, how do we approach formidable life experiences from a place of

compassion and love for both self and other? To whom do we turn for guidance? In “Debi Bodhon”, the pain and

sufferings awakens the fiercely compassionate, divine feminine Devi Mahatmya, Maa Durga - the Goddess of

Impenetrable Compassion symbolizing the unassailable essence of our own inherent nature, ultimately frees us

from evil and returns us to the wisdom of love, laughter, peace, harmony and unity. Prabasi presents “Debi

Bodhon” - a dance production by Pubali Banerjee celebrating semi-classical, folk and indigenous Bengal creative

dance forms featuring gifted local dancers from the Prabasi Bengali community.
