(…) Monica Rizzardi attended the Master Classes which is commendable of her interests, sincerity and hard work.
We also appreciate her yearn and love for learning Indian classical performing art inspire of her totally a different cultural background and that she keeps coming from Italy, a far off European country to attend Bhavan’s Summer School.
I wish the best of luck for Monica Rizzardi.

Shiva Nataraja è il dio della danza: tiene nella mano sinistra il fuoco distruttore e nella mano destra il “damaru”, il tamburello della creazione, della vita, della ricostruzione. E’ rappresentato mentre balla e schiaccia il demone dell’ignoranza che è ai suoi piedi: dicono che “solo chi danza può comprendere” – Immagine e frase sono un dono a Monica offerto da Nello Mangiameli

Cara Monica, un giorno danzasti anche per me, ed ebbi un anticipo del Paradiso, chissà se avrò la gioia di rincontrarti lassù e mi insegnerai a danzare per Krishna. Oh, me beata… Grazie. S. Natale 2001

I pray to Almighty god that your dance music will reach the heightest of
the success ( Aamin ).

remembrance for me and
despotiion of all your music and love. (...)
I believe and trust that you are a very good dancer and music lover.
