Ahe Nila Saila by Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra, Odissi Padma Vibhshan 1986 NYC

- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- This rare recording was of the one performance of Guruji during my 1985-86 USA tour which he accompanied along with Pt Bhubaneswar Misra -violin, shri Rakhal Mohanty - Vocal, and Ratikant Mohapatra playing pakhawaj/mardala for this performance instead of manjiras. It was at the NYC Metropolitan Museum and was the last concert of the tour. I apologize that the ending is not there as the recording was transferred and digitized from VHS so long ago and is incomplete. If I can find the original I will add it if it is there.
About the composition. Ahe Nila Sahila - Oriya poetry of Salabega
The Muslim Bhakti poet here calls on Jagannath, the blue mountain/gem to banish his many problems. The poet tells Jagannath/Vishnu/Krishna that “you rescued the elephant king when he was caught by a crocodile and prayed to you, heard Draupadi’s heartfelt plea in the Kaurav’s court and gave unlimited cloth when they tried to shame her, emerged from the column to save little Prahlada as half-man, half lion Narasimha, I bow at your feet in prayer, a muslim outcaste, grant me a small space to pray to you outside your temple in Puri and dispel my sufferings as well.”
It has been an absolute honor to be trained in his style of Odissi for a good fifteen years of my life. What grace, what beauty. The pride of my state. I feel privileged to call myself an Odissi dancer.

Did anyone notice, Guruji performed Muslim Namaaz in the beginning? I feel it is the poem written by the Muslim devotee named Salabega. If anyone differ from my view, please comment.
You are right , it was actually written by poet salo beg...
The great Muslim devotee Salabega wrote this asking for a glimpse of Jagannath as he was not permitted inside the mandir.. There are Muslim devotees still who participate in Rath Yatra when Jagannath and siblings leave the temple for all to have Darshan. Google him to learn more
Absolutely right
Some Hindus in Odisha do it too.
@@mtarkes Bogus. No Hindu does it.
He is magnificent.. the way he expresses through Odissi, its just magnificent ❤️
many thanks,so true
Very natural and devotionals janan

Wow... What a master piece... Thank you so much for sharing.... Do you have a full Museum on guruji... I am amazed to see guruji's Performances on youtube... How lucky i am that I'm getting a chance to watch him dance... Thank you so much...
And secoundly i can Definitely say that people have Modified this item to an Extreme level.. Now days abhinayas are full of Unnecessary Ornamental movement and extra dance rhythm...i hv seen many performing this abhinaya item. .. Have seen dance in both guru deba prasad sir's style and guru kelu sir's style both are brilliantly choreographed.. But nowdays gurus are adding their own flavours which not at all able to deliver an earthy odian flavored abhinaya...look how guruji Established pandava's.. No one is teaching there students about how to establish a character even though there is a shortage of stage time.guruji took just few secounds to establish arjun, bhim and yudhisthir... I am a fan of odissi, cant say myself an odissi dancer by learning a few items of odissi.. But i am a strong viewer and observer and definitely have a right to judge as a viewer... So as a viewer and odia, i am missing these pure items, and request all gurus to to please maintain realism,earthy,traditional and an odian flavour.
I agree with you about his wonderful performance. This is a choreography that lends itself to individual interpretations in the sancharis and was differenct when done first by Kum Kum Mohanty and later by Sanjukta Panigraphi. each artist brings their own personality and interpretive abilities and I find that I enjoy more than one way but I am happy to share these videos of Kelubabu so that students/performers can be better aware of options.
Most significantly when we see him dancing it emphasis that dancing should come from within..Unless you feel by heart it would be only body movement..❤
absolutely correct
Love and respect 😘😘😘
Thank you for this treat
My pleasure 😊

my pleasure!
Odishi dance is such a type of dance in which just watching is not sufficient, you need to understand the meaning of every steps ❤️❤️Hare Krishna 🙏🙏
You are right that understanding can give the viewer deeper meaning, but an artist can communicate much to the totally uninitiated as well
Guru’ s Ashtapathy performance s are outstanding. We are blessed to watch this . What a dedication and love for the art.

Ji
Great to see the Great Master of Odissi himself perform this masterpiece. I admire his fine body physique and fluid movements even at his age.
IMHO, fat and overweight dancers are stiff and clumsy; they're a pain to watch and do not do justice to the beauty of the Odissi dance form.
Absolutely true, Guruji played mardala throughout which was better for pectorals than going to the gym and he wasn’t a “sitting” teacher. He had perfect proportions and fluidity in his movement style which was not diminished by age. However he was stiffer as happens with age but never clumsy. Weight does not make a dancer lose abhinaya or necessarily become clumsy, but it is not as aesthetic
I feel blessed on being able to see odissi by guru ji. Expression in every beat. What a beauty. Just melted my heart.Thank you for sharing.😍
happy you appreciated it. more vintage videos on my channel. ua-cam.com/users/sharonlowen1
The best odishi nrutya, I have ever seen.
He was the best
This is marvellous. What an expression and he is a ‘Thrupangi ‘ . Namaskarams to him and his art.

He is truly a master of Odissi dance. He is telling the story of how Krishna saved Drupadi’s honor when the Pandavas lost her in a gambling match.
yes, one of the stories the poet Salabega addresses to the Divine asking for similar blessings

Captivating performance by Guruji himself. Equally captivating are the playback team comprising of the greats- Pt Rakhal Mohanty - Odissi vocalist n Composer playing harmonium, Pt Bhubaneswar Mishra - music composer on violin, Sri Ratikant Mohapatra on mardala (Odissi dancer son of Guruji)🙏
I was so blessed to have them with me for 6 weeks and 22 performances and lec-dems in 1985-86. This was the last performance and I requested Guruji to dance as well.
अद्भुत... गुरुदेव को चरण वंदन

ᖘꋪꀤꌩꍏꈤꀘꍏ ꌩꍏꀸꍏᐯ ：Ohh thank you. I just watched that video, the young man danced so good and excellent. I’m self learning Odissi dance and just love it.
@@zhanggrace833 great 👍! . Even though I'm a Hindu I couldn't Learn odissi or any classical dance because of my studies . It feels really great when I find people like you who have this strong conviction to learn this dance form . Best of luck in your practice ! .
I'll leave you with this : ua-cam.com/video/L1KvKx1OKr0/v-deo.html enjoy ♥️.
ᖘꋪꀤꌩꍏꈤꀘꍏ ꌩꍏꀸꍏᐯ : What are you studying? Yes you need to devote a lot of time to practice the dance. Even though I’m not a professional dancer and dancing is just my hobby, but I still spend a lot of time to practice my dancing and watch a lot of professional dancers’ performances. Recently I just listen classical Indian music and practice Indian dance, particularly in Odissi music and dance. I just fall in love in its interesting sacred history. You can watch one of my Odissi practice: ua-cam.com/video/U6aqfhn6Sxo/v-deo.html. I’m still learning and proving it every day. In China, we have Dunhuang dance which is inspired from Hindu Buddhism a lot, even though the music and movement are quite different. I really appreciate the long history of Indian classical dance and love it. Indian people should be proud of your history and keep your classical music and dances. Love from China. ♥️
@@zhanggrace833 I'll watch your practice video .I'm a Maths student .And I appreciate your love and respect for our traditions and you are right that we should take pride and protect our heritage but it isn't as easy as you seem to think . Due to poverty and subjugation of this part of the world, the condition has become so worse that an average Indian cannot even differentiate between what is odissi or what is Bharatnatyam or many other dance forms Lest taking pride in them .... I showed my friend the sculptures of a woman carved in temple walls and he didn't ever believe that it was Indian 😔, the younger generation can't even recognize their own style of architecture from different parts of the country . I hope with the increase in the number of foreign practitioners , the Indian youth may take some interest in these ancient dance forms ..... I'm part of the same generation thanks to the internet that I became aware about this and that opened a window of knowledge and heritage that I never thought existed before .....it was nice talking to you. Love from the Himalayas in India ♥️.
