Vocal Arangetram: Nitya Aryasomayajula


by Rajesh Vaidheeswarran
Smt. Aparna Balaji is someone I’ve known for a long time. Her no-pressure style of teaching, combined with the ability to inspire the student to develop her own love for the artform is very old fashioned. This style, naturally suits someone of demure demeanor like Nitya Aryasomayajula, and it clearly has brought out the best in Nitya.

Arangetram: Deeptha Ganesh And Yashvi Gupta


by Saritha Venkatesh
The arangetram of Deeptha Ganesh and Yashvi Gupta headed the arangetram marathon for 2019 by the Lasya School of Dance. The pooja for the bells and offering to Lord Nataraja had a heavenly vibe with their families chanting hymns from Medha Suktam, Taithreeya Upanishad and Sri Rudram. I truly felt the presence of God when I saw the seat in the middle of the front row with a white robe and the padukas of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

What Is Karma And What Does It Mean?
What Is Karma And What Does It Mean?


Karma is the primal seed of desire that guides the destiny, thoughts, actions and behaviour of every individual. Activity is the very breath of human existence. Living organisms cannot live even for a moment without action. Everyone is made to act helplessly by the impulses born of prakriti (nature). Without work life cannot be sustained. Cosmic existence is based on dynamic activity. It is necessary for any social order.
