`... how much I love you'
HITTING IT OF: `Encore' Enzo at his magical best.
`Om Satchida nanda Parabrahma, Purushottama Paramatma, Sri Bhagawati Sametha, Sri Bhagawan Namaha'. No, these are not `slokas' being recited, but lyrics set to wonderful music that made thousands of people sway in bliss.
That was one of the first-ever concert by Latin American devotees of Kalki Bhagawan at the Nizam College grounds. A racy tune by Enzo, vocalist and lead guitarist, made people clap and sway, forgetting the tensions of the day.
The crowd cheered him on, shouting `Encore' and `Once More' and he obliged the music lovers, singing the song in reverence to Kalki Bhagawan.
The compere, Srikkanth, translated the crowd's words to Enzo and his band of musicians - Christian on the bass guitar, Williams on the keyboard, Pipi on the drums, Suresh on the tabla and Satya Prasad assisting on the vocals.
It was not as if one had to be a devotee of the Kalki. Such was the power of music, as rightly put by Krishnaji, son of Kalki, who said music transcends barriers of language and religion. Also present during the occasion were the Union Minister of State, Bandaru Dattatreya, Minister for Housing, Rama Subba Reddy, industrialist, T.G. Venkatesh and two direct disciples of Kalki Bhagawan, Samadarshini and Ananda Giri.
The evening marked the launch of a housing programme. Kalki had taken up the programme of constructing 200 houses for the poor and weaker sections in Varadayapalem mandal of Chittoor district. Each house cost about Rs. 1 lakh.

After the message of Kalki was screened for the people, the music concert started with the number `God' that described Enzo's discovery of Kalki. The second was `Without Love' and the third number went `This is my way of showing how much I love you'. Sruti gave a break to the Latin American music by singing `Jaya, Jaya, Jaya he' in Hindi.
Enzo then went on to sing in praise about the Golden Age Movement that went `The dawn of the Golden Age'. And then it was `Satchidananda Parabrahma'. This song had the crowd in a rapturous mood and Enzo had to sing the song thrice. The evening ended with a fabulous laser show and dazzling display of fireworks that was seen from all parts of the twin cities.
