Arangetram: Rishika Sai Makkena


by S. Ramamoorthy
While I was watching Rishika Sai Makkena’s Bharathanatyam arangetram as one among the many, I went nostalgic recalling the old famous quote, "There is no wisdom or knowledge, no art, no craft or action which is not found in Natya". Rishika is a student of Guru Jeyanthi Ghatraju.

Reflections On Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa – XVIII: Rākṣasa And Their Clan
Reflections On Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa – XVIII: Rākṣasa And Their Clan


by Bijoy Misra
Vālmīki enunciates a society of his liking where he would champion the attributes of Rāma as the ideal. These would include sincerity, truthfulness, patience, compassion and restraint. The reverse part of these could be manipulation, trickery, impulsiveness, cruelty and haughtiness. The living objects who exhibit these latter characteristics are labeled as rākṣasa. However, the rakṣa group was active in learning, industry and discovery. They knew the intricacies of nature and how to cope with the calamities. They had discovered the technique of transforming themselves into different shapes and could assume different forms for protection and aggression. These would be called survival skills to operate in their harsher environment, but they could use those skills in exploiting the land resources at will.
