Presenting an introductory discourse on happiness and peace of mind on the inaugural day of the 6 day spiritual festival, she said that in order to lead a peaceful life, one should control his own mind and have an economy of thoughts.

“One's mind should be able to obey one's instructions. We have to order our minds to forget the unnecessary memories, which can cause pain to us.” She added.

Stressing on the importance of cleaning the mind before meditation in order to beat stress, she said that if we do not clean our mind often, several diseases will take their toll on us.

“Collection of bad memories only leads to anger, jealousy, and hatred toward others. Finally it also spoils your happiness”, she said.

Calling upon the people to cultivate the habit of forgiveness, which can ease our prolonged mental stress within a moment, she said that anger and the desire to take revenge results in tension and unhappiness.

“Values such as trust, happiness, peace, forgiveness, which are in fact natural, have now became very rare and unnatural things such as distrust, unhappiness, violence and angry have become common. To change this phenomenon we have to change our minds first”, she suggested.

The spiritual discourse was preceded by the musical concert 'Jnana Gaana Sudha' by Puttur Narasimha Nayak and party.

A spiritual exhibition was also inaugurated on the same occasion by IGP Gopal B Hosur.

Over 700 people including Brahma Kumaris and followers participated in the spiritual discourse.

The festival will conclude with the participation of Dadi Jankiji, chief of Brahma Kumaris, at TMA Pai Convention Hall in the city on Sunday, April 25.

Mangaluru, Feb 26: The 'Yakshagana' stage in Karnataka is witnessing a curious spectacle with a Muslim woman artiste creating waves with her performances.

Arshiya, the artiste from Vittal in Dakshina Kannada district, is the first woman from the Muslim community to venture into the popular traditional theatre art form.

At one time, women were barred from Yakshagana stages.

A Muslim woman exponent on stage has attracted the attention of 'Yakshagana' lovers in the state.

Arshiya is now getting advanced training in her skills at the Kadali Kala Kendra under Ramesh Bhat here.

Arshiya, who is fond of 'Bannada Vesha' (villain roles), is now known in her stage name 'Tanu Vitla.'

She has already performed various episodes on stage and gained popularity.

Arshiya, currently working in an automobile showroom at Padil, said she was attracted to the art form from a very young age.

The initial enchantment with the art form came as she saw the role of Mahishasura in 'Sri Devi Mahatme Yakshagana Prasanga' (episode) performed near her home town.

She was attracted to all the elements of the art form, which combines music, percussion, dance, dialogues, stage techniques, make-up and costume.

Arshiya said she was also inspired by a teacher in her school at Vittal who trained her for a performance on stage during the school's annual day celebration.

She started performing on local stages at Vittal at the very young age of 10.

Arshiya now performs prominent roles on stage including Mahishasura in Sri Devi Mahatme Prasanga, the role which enamoured her in her childhood.

She also has donned the roles of Nishambhasura, Rakthabeejasura, Srinivas Kalyana, Sudarshanopakyana, Kadamba Kaushike and Shambavi Vijaya.

Her performances at Udupi and Karwar besides Mangaluru have earned her a lot of admirers, who love her 'Asura' roles, thanks to her loud voice.

Arshiya now wants to learn the 'Chende' (percussion instrument), which is an important element in Yakshagana performances.

Arshiya revealed that there was a bit of resistance from her community about her passion for the art form, but she had staunch backing of her family.
