Swami Says :-
 "The Vedas are for entire mankind. They have prayers for peace, subjugating the anger of the elements and of human communities. They invoke the forces of nature to be calm and beneficent. So, the Parayanam of the Vedas promotes world peace and human welfare. For those who derive joy when names of the Lord are recited, each Name invoking one facet of the splendour of God, we have the Pujas.
For those thirsting for directions along the path of Sadhana, we have discourses by the Pundits. Musical recitations and discourses transmit the teachings of the Shastras and Puranas in pleasant palatable ways. The dramas are visible representations of the essential lessons embodied in our scriptures. All these unfold the petals of the heart of man."
What better way to understand the spiritual significance of Shastras and Puranas other than to enact the scenes in a drama. Performing in a drama if one looks philosophically is drama within the Grand Cosmic Drama that we are in actual fact actors already whether we like it or not.
As long as we are living it is impotant that we direct all our cleverness and all our intelligence to the successful execution of the great Cosmic Drama, in which all of us are taking part at present. It is God’s Drama. He is the Director, we play a role, an actor carrying out His Will, speaking the words that He put in our mouth and making movements as directed by Him.

KPSG have over the period of time staged several dramas during the regular monthly SSEHV combine sessions. The uniqiue thing about these dramas is that all those taking part are parents of SSEHV students.
KPSG’s objective of getting parents being part of the centers activities was clearly evident from the parents enthusiasm and their commitment during each sketch or mini-play that was staged |

We hope to encourage as many parents to come forward and play an active role in staging plays/sketches that is being organised. Those of you who are interested and feel you have the acting talent and would like to take part please contact Sister Shareena at the following email address:- shareena_samtani@yahoo.com.sg
The following are some of the dramas staged by the parents which was well received by all those attended. The general format of the drama starts with a combine bhajan that is related to the title of the drama followed by the drama itself and ending with another combine bhajan. There is also a narrator section where Sawmi’s message is read out to the audience pointing out the spiritual significance of play. The titles of dramas staged so far are as follows:-
