This organization is doing fantastic things for the community in ways no other is doing!!!! Hats off the an incredible Phagwah celebration!! All other Holi or phagwah are watered down, degrading, always have a fight or police attending or have nothing to do with the true meaning of holi or our culture. The ancestor program wow didnt know we were freed from Indentureship 100 years ago this was interesting and educational to know. The dances are top class and represent each country top of the line!!!! No one else or organization doing these kind of thing or this level of work!!! The Director Denise B is blessed!!!! Her concepts and ideas and unreal and marvelous .... Cant wait for anything they do .... All millionaires, state, county, donors, professionals, and philanthropist need to donate and give more to this organization!!!!!
Had a wonderful time at the holi event march 18th thank you for providing us with ancestry information I leaned a lot from the 100 year anniversary. Thank you Denyse and Jaya Devi
It was a great event that served the purpose of educating the community on "What is Holi?", as well as bringing different community members (broward, palm beach, etc) to showcase their talent and celebrate the festival of colors while still preserving the culture. Overall, the event was very successful and full of entertainment.
Had the great opportunity to perform for their Holi show in Lauderhill. The event stayed true to the real meaning of this religious holiday and I would definitely go again and would encourage others to come along as well. They also hired a group all the way from Suriname and they were phenomenal. Everything was well organized and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.
It was a great event I experienced in Florida with Jayadevi Arts on March 18. The only organization receiving sponsorship from Florida State and County in the Indo-Caribbean community. It was a pleasure for me to participate. The Hamare Purvaj was a great experience. I had to call the elders in my family to get an ancestors song and came up with "Batohiya". A song our ancestors used to sing while planting rice and sugar cane reminiscing about their homeland. The Phagwah section it was amazing to see the American born youths so involved. Jayadevi gives them a platform to express and showcase their talent. Hats off to Jayadevi for having a clean no alcohol Pandit approved Holi/Phagwah. The Best Holi festival in the traditional way. Great to be apart of this event and this organization. Thank you for representing my country Suriname my country's music Baithak Gana and dance Londa Ki nach. Nice to see all the Youth in Florida doing Suriname music!!!! i feel blessed!
Wow I attended a great event March 18 3 segments in 1 day 1 event!!!! Totally enjoyed the ancestors the music reminded me of my grand mother and great grand mother. This segment had me emotional and took me back to great memories of my ancestors. The holi segment was clean family oriented and truly appreciated. Jayadevi Arts U are doing great things for our community keep it up....
