“Children are closest to God, says Vishal Ramani of all of her students, “their innocent faces are actually inquisitively always asking a question, encouraging me to strive myself harder to understand them, mold them, create their wishes into a vision of reality”. Shri Krupa’s pride are the Ramayana series – the challenge to recreate the most powerful Hindu epic with over 50 children on stage, and repeating it with an entirely different cast is part of a continuation of learning the many morals, life’s lessons, magic and treachery by the young minds. Over the years, with funding from Silicon Valley Arts Council, San Jose’s Office of Cultural Affairs, Shri Krupa Parent Community, Arts Enthusiasts, Supporters of Shri Krupa, California Arts Council, Local businesses, Shiva Murugan Temple and others these rich renderings have been made possible.
Shri Krupa Students at all levels are always encouraged to perform at every opportunity.
