    I have studied with the best of gurus for about 13 years. The journey is endless and my times these days are spent in the pursuit of rediscovering myself in this art form. The dance evolves with the dancer.. and it is my endeavor to keep this beautiful art meaningful and pure

    Thank you! "Pushpanjali" is a traditional offering of flowers to invoke the dieties before a Bharathanatyam recital. The verses in this piece are from the Madurashtakam in the praise of Lord Krishna, the flute playing enchanter. "Sweet are your lips, sweeter your radiant face, and quicksilver glances; and sweetest of them all is your smile!"

    • @infinite5795
      @infinite5795 2 роки тому +2

      @@invinciblecucumber we Hindus believe God can be formless or even, with a form. Depends on what form u would like to give, Krishna can be shown as a baby, teen, adult anything, he can take the characteristics of any face, Depends on how the sculptor would want it. More like we say, it is a representation of ur self, like Jesus can be black, white, albino as well for the believer, although he was a middle-eastern.
      We also smash or wash away on shores the same statues we make ultimately, signifying human life is impermanent and even if, God transcends to the Earth as a human, for the laws that unite humanity must be followed by everyone.

      @Asha Lizzy It's definitely of Hindu origin/artform. But I appreciate Kumaran's progressive comment. 😁❤️ In that there should be zero barriers for practice & appreciation. I also appreciate your comments, that "it's learned irrespective of religion." Specifically because I'm American Christian/agnostic, while my husband is Tamil atheist(family is Hindu). I'm pregnant right now & whether it's a boy or girl, they will for sure learn Bharatanatyam. (We're living in Tamilnadu & will settle here.)
      Bharatanatyam is an ancient, incredible artform that needs to be always appreciated & carried on. It's become a cultural, important staple of India, in that it originated here & is practiced all over the country.
      You should look at Sridevi Nrithyalaya's channel, btw. That's who I dream of being my kid's Guru. 😊 Her, the school, students & performances are absolutely top notch.❤️🙏
