Korada Narasimha Rao - KV Sathyanarayana, Eluru e-mail: kvsdance@hotmail.com (All photos courtesy guru KV Sathyanarayana) January 12, 2007  Korada being honored at the KVS Dance Festival, Dec 2006 Guruji gave me these photos to publish in my souvenir, which was released on 23rd December 2006. I was felicitated on 24th; he performed at Kuchipudi on 26th in Mohini Bhasamasura. And he was gone on 4th January 2007. It is a great loss to me. He is my guru and uncle and we performed together so many times, I as Satyabhama and he was Sutradhari; I as Mohini and he as Bhasmasura; I as Durga and he as Mahishasura, I as Alamelumanga and he as Annamacharya...we did so many prestigious programs like that. It is still difficult to accept that he is no more. I feel as if he is still with us. He participated in my 25th Annual Celebrations on 23rd & 24th December. We have lost a great dancer and great guru.
