Agrani Das, the temple president, draws a microphone to his mouth and begins the lecture. "One must use the mind to get more than material objects like sex and shelter. One must use the mind to develop a greater relationship with God," he says. Devotees and Krishna followers filter into the temple. One devotee rings a large bell suspended before the orange curtain. Most of the entering congregation are Indians, but the group includes people of all races and nationalities. They all press their foreheads to the floor and sit cross-legged...
...bestselling Sardinian author from humble peasant origins provides the most convincing evidence since Bertolucci's "Last Tango in Paris" of the resilient vitality in Italian cinema, the recent excesses of Fellini, Antonioni, et al. notwithstanding. The Taviani brothers' first film to receive international attention, it features a host of mind-gripping sequences destined to set apart "Padre, Padrone" as one of the most important films to cross the Atlantic in the late 1970s. To name only two: the unforgettable series of shots capturing the varied expressions of a village's collective lust, from a young boy sodomizing a mule...

The technical performance of the musicians--particularly Roy Kogan's solo in the Saint-Saens concerto--was also fine. The Dvorak ended the concert with confidence, power and skill...
THAT IS PERHAPS Cunningham's greatest gift, as the performances last week made clear. His work explores the processes of the body, but its effect also allows the onlooker to explore the processes of the perceiving mind. He gives us the dance: wondrous, self-delighting motion without any prop of plot or theme or explicit significance. And watching the dance, one becomes aware of the mind's response: a subjective discernment of plot and pattern, and the shape of ritual; a perception of the grounds of symbolic recognition in the flowering of unburdened form...
