Charleston, USA: The first International poetry conference of the SaKaVya Pardeshi Samuha under the Sahitya Kala Vyaktitva Vikas Manch was held virtually on Saturday.

Gauri Joshi Kansara conducted this virtual forum under the chairmanship of the founder of SaKaVya group and well-known writer, poet Pandurang Kulkarni. Poet Sanjeev Dighe from Indore, Bharat, was invited as the chief guest.

The Chairman of the meeting Pandurang Kulkarni from Dallas, Texas heartily appreciated all the participating poets. He was proud of the fact that all of them are doing literary work for the spread of Bharatiya cultural heritage, especially Marathi, even while living abroad.

The chief guest of the program Sanjeev Dighe made everyone laugh a lot by sharing a few stories in his special humorous style. In his speech, he praised the poets by composing quatrains (four-lined verses) or quoting super-short stories, called Alak, in each context.

Sarjerao Patil from Australia, Ragini Nishit Rawalia from Dubai, Prachi Deshpande who lives in California and India, Kalyani Masade from Russia, Shalaka Kulkarni from the Netherlands, Sangeeta Palve from Germany and Shilpa Kulkarni, Tanujaa Pradhan and Gauri Joshi Kansara from the USA participated enthusiastically.

For the event, the group flag was made by Graphics designer, Sharyu Khachane and the poster was presented by Milind Pagare. On this occasion, Pandurang Kulkarni praised them and said that these members of SaKaVya, despite being the actors behind the scenes, have contributed a lot to such events.

The bonding of all these people with their motherland was further strengthened by this program. They all felt the joy of meeting their poetic family even while sitting in different countries. This was reflected in a different glow on everyone’s face, said Tanujaa Pradhan, the convener of this poetry conference and the head of the SaKaVya Pardeshi Vibhag.
