Namaskaara,

Thank you all for being an integral part of our successful convention! We missed those who could not join.

Your presence, from across the US and Canada, and India truly made it a vibrant and memorable event. The amazing performances from all age groups, shared youth activities and performances, inspiring speech and presentations added immense energy and joy to our gathering. It was great to connect with everyone! Special thanks to the volunteers from the Northeast Chapter and the numerous HAA families whose efforts made this event possible. Our thanks to all the Sponsors, the Upper Merion school, Lower Perkiomen Valley park, Bharatiya Temple, Malgudi food vendor and many extended supporters and organizations. We appreciate all the kudos and kind words received from the HAA community about the convention, and that the purpose of Youth focussed convention is met beyond its expectations! Kudos to the entire Youth of HAA for their multi-chapter collaboration, networking and shared achievements.

I hope you had some time to explore our beautiful and vibrant East Coast. We will cherish the beautiful memories with you all forever!

Cheers to the HAA Community and its strong bonds!

Warm regards,

Usha Kuloor

Hello Everyone, We are back in Dallas and still in the hangover of HAA convention . This was my first havyaka convention and I felt like I got to witness the best. I am guilty of not being part of previous convention. First of all the thanks to Northeast chapter folks pulling togather such an outstanding event. I am amazed at how much talent is in havyaka community. Every single act / performance had full of creativity .  I have attended many events here in Dallas the creativity that was shown on HAA stage is unmatchable . Youth involvement in the convention was truely inspiring as they are the ones who are  going to keep the havyaka legacy alive . I know there was comment about usage of more havyaka language on stage but I think having English narration also has helped kids have better context . My 9 year old and 6 year old watched the equillibrium show with curious eyes and that tells a lot . In the end it’s not the language but willingness of youth to be part of havyaka culture that matters and that was very evident .

We had very few attendance from Dallas texas chapter but you all have inspired us so much I am hoping to one day Dallas havyakas will come togather to host the convention . 

Last but not least I want to thank Ushakka Shailakka and Ranjan Hegde for accommodating the last moment registration and helping us navigate last moment problems. I truely felt like I attended a havyaka wedding . Thank you for your hospitality.
