A 'Flash Mob' party is a type of surprise public performance where a group of people, coordinated through social media or other means, suddenly assemble in a crowded area, to perform a synchronised activity, like dancing or singing, and then quickly disperse. The performance is usually brief.
Flash mob parties can be organised for various occasions, such as Birthday celebrations, Weddings, Anniversaries, Corporate events or Public awareness campaigns.
The surprise element and the energy of the performance make flash mob parties a unique and memorable experience for both the participants and the audience.
My daughter, Chaitra Rao, extended a spontaneous invitation to the VipraVrinda members to gather at her home on Friday night, the April 4, 2025. Although it was short notice, most members attended and made it a potluck dinner to share the burden. The highlight of the evening was a surprise 'flash mob' sing-along moment, a video clip of which is attached here. Chaitra had spontaneously taught the group this song/stotra during the outings, a fortnight before this gathering. The featured stotra was the beautiful "Balakrishna Ashtakam" - ನೀಲಯಾ ಕುಚೇಲ ಮೌನಿ ಪಾಲಿತಂ (the blue one who protected silent Kuchela with compassion)
Typically, when we receive a video on WhatsApp, we play it for about 20 seconds before skipping to the end. However, I'm confident that once you start watching this video, you'll be drawn in and want to keep watching, await for the next group to start singing, ultimately viewing it from start to finish.
