Dr Suresh Chari is a Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic and President of the Hindu Temple in Rochester. He is a regular speaker at interfaith meetings in the community representing the Hindu perspective on issues.
Introduction to Hinduism __________________________________________

Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma is an ancient religion with origins in India. For a long time the Western world was not exposed to the religion as the overwhelming majority of its adherents live in India. However, Hinduism has a lot to offer to people of other faiths. Also, with the emergence of India as an economic power, spread of Yoga and meditation into American popular culture, and increasing number of immigrants from India, there has been growing interest in Hinduism. This introductory class will give an overview of the faith and will focus on questions on history and origins of Hinduism, what defines a Hindu, Hindu sacred texts, Hindu beliefs and practices, and Hindu views on God and paths to realizing God or self-realization. The class will also briefly discuss influence of Hinduism on popular American culture and some of the misconceptions regarding Hindu beliefs and practices.

It is less a working class meal and more an EVENT. Today it has become an elegant affair served in many restaurants and hotels across the world.

Based on Green Day's Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum album and featuring the hits "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "21 Guns," "Wake Me Up When September Ends," "Holiday," and the blockbuster title track, American Idiot boldly takes the American musical where it has never gone before. With direction by Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening), choreography by Stephen Hoggett (Black Watch), and orchestrations and arrangements by Tom Kitt (Next to Normal), the result is an experience Charles Isherwood of The New York Times declares "thrilling, emotionally charged, and as moving as any Broadway musical I've seen this year!"

On the heels of the wildly successful Brief Encounter and Private Lives, the Guthrie presents Nol Coward's delightful comedy of manners for the first time. The eccentric Bliss familyJudith, a recently retired actress, David, a selfabsorbed novelist, and their two unconventional children - live in a world where reality slides easily into fiction. Upon entering this world, the weekend guests - a proper diplomat, a shy flapper, an athletic boxer, and a fashionable sophisticate - are thrown into melodramatic scenes wherein their hosts profess emotions and react to situations that do not really exist. The comedic chaos ends only when the tortured visitors tip-toe out the door. Cleverly constructed and slightly cynical, this entertaining romp will be directed by rising British director Christopher Luscombe.

NEW "St. Paul's Gangster Musical" at the Great American History Theatre in St. Paul Thursday, May 3
Crime is running rampant in St. Paul! Our fair city is the crime capital of the U.S.A. where Public Enemies like Alvin "Creepy" Karpis and the Ma Barker Gang have free reign. A few shady deals form a truce of sorts: if the criminals keep a low profile, then the cops will turn a blind eye. But when J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI enter the picture, Karpis and the Barker Gang are put on the run. It's high stakes at the Hollyhocks with great songs by Drew Jansen, dance numbers featuring G-men and Tommy guns, and a dose of dark humor as we explore the crazy days of St. Paul's infamous past.
