I think this tapasya series is one of the best production of SDN. I started watching tapasya only much later, but it became addiction and i was able to watch every episode. Probably there is a lot to learn for a dancer from tapasya series, but being a non artist i could say that this tapasya series has influenced me a lot. The attitude and approach towards life is foremost i believe. How to learn and how to learn to reach the toptier, the attitude needed for continued learning is something to be imbibed. The importance of hardwork, focused hardwork to make it into perfect learning experience is something i appreciated. The humility and humbleness needed for the learning experience is showcased in this.
Lot of management lessons, how to perform and achieve as a group. How to time manage perfectly. How to multi task in life which society expect us to lead. And later on i see how SDN works effects us spiritually. How it effects even the teenage students who have a spiritual angle in their life. And finally people like Harinie inspire us to give our 100 % even towards our daily day today activities. Thank You.
Harinie has only one competition…and that is Harinie herself! She is the epitome of dance, she sets the bar for the dance, she defines the dance form…and she does it all with humility. The sign of an artist true to the form! Sheela Ma’am’s words that a mother gets more pleasure when her son is lauded than at the time she gave birth to him touched a chord in my heart! It shows her motherly love towards her students - truly a Guru Ma! Harinie owes being Harinie largely to her! Namaste Ma’am!
Tapasya in conceiving the theme, Tapasya in setting the music after getting the lyrics, Tapasya in gathering the firsthand knowledge and information, Tapasya in choreographing, Tapasya in performing, Tapasya in remaining simple and humble after this spectacular achievement. ✨ ⭐ ✨ Tapasya can never ever fail! Tapasya can never fall apart! Harini is the chosen one and she makes sure she has earned her position by her hard work, dedication, devotion and determination. May you be always blessed dear Harini! 🙏🌹🍀🌹🙏
This is much more than a PhD project! It combines all the key elements of purpose, passion, theme, conception, research, complexity, innovation, performance, and recognition needed for a doctoral award in the performing arts! 🌹 It merits the honour of a doctorate degree, at the very least, in my considered view.🙏 Also, while the quality dimension of the product and its execution is visible and gets well-deserved appreciation, the astonishing speed with which it has been perfected and confidently presented to the discerning scrutiny of the public eye is another dimension that should not get overlooked.🙏
Amazed to hear, she spent her time from 1 am onwards daily for 10 days to learn about the brahmotsavam👌 she says ' process of the journey..' highlight of her application. A lot of her efforts went into the choreography.
Aaha. Very much thrilled and excited to see our Harini. As usual she gives the best always. She proved. No words. Blessings with tears to one of the jewels in the Bharatham Art.
Was in Bliss even seeing the snippets..how magnificent would it have been to witness it live. Heartiest Congratulations to SDN guru Sheela ma'am for giving a platform of such a wonderful work by their foremost student Harini . Seeing Harini dance gives me goosebumps every single time..which shows how deeply thru her dance she connects with the audience to portray the theme . wishing many more such fro SDN and Harini
Ms. Harini I am sure you are a treasure to SDN.. Your graceful dance is unparalleled.. My hearty wishes to Sheela mam.. I think you duo are really setting a benchmark for Bharthanatyam.. Lord Natraj has given Harini to the world to save the golden and divine art form.. My hearty wishes Harini dear.. You are yet another Rukmani Devi the preserver of this ancient art form.. Congratulations to the entire team..
THE DEDICATION AKKA SHOWED , AND THE HUGE RESEARCH YOU DID FOR IT AND IMBIBING IT IN YOUR DANCE . HATS OFF TO YOU😄😄 YOU INSPIRE US IN EVERY WAY YOU CAN 🤩😍.WAITING TO SEE THE FULL PERFORMANCE
Here is just a story of how I came upon sdn . So I am a fan of kuldeep ji . I used to hear his songs . My favourite was the ashtalakshmi video. One day I came across the ashtalaksmi dance . I loved it . 😍 it was full of grace and hard work . I was about to perform my salangai Pooja. It gave my ideas for perfection and abhinaya . Iam thankful to sdn . The next day I came across tapasya ep 1 . I was shocked to see small kids learning dance . This increased my passion towards dance . My favourite dancer is harine akka . Harine akka ( Lakshmi) and bhairavi akka ( vishnu ) made a perfect pair in srinivasa kalyanam and vaikunda ekadasi special ranganadar odam . I loved the perfect and charming abhinaya in harine akka's performents 😇. This tapasya series is bringing me close to dance . Iam 11 years old and this is a perfect opportunity to learn before I get older . I never missed a single video of sdn . Please continue . 🙏 Best wishes ❤️
Harinie jii and Sheela mam.. Blessed to have you in this era! Hope to meet you sometime soon ☺️ and If it's possible to upload Varadarajam Upasmahe here on TH-cam for a week again it would really be a great blessing please. Will all due respect and love, Your Nitya L. Pragnya 😊

You did a job which made us mum. ❤❤❤❤. Lots of love to you akka 🤩🤩💗💗. Is there anyway I could watch it online?
th-cam.com/video/PFxAxrj9Ebk/w-d-xo.html It's not a full performance but yes there is some clips.. being devotee of Harinie I'm satisfied with this whole video.
I can only 🙏🙏🙏🙏 the SDN team, the great musicians of SDN, Harinie and smt. Dr. Sheela for the amount of time, effort, dedication, research and what not that was put in this presentation. Thank you for taking bhakthi to the present and future generations to come through Bharatanatyam!!!!
Watching Varadarajam Upasmahe was a Visual Treat. How Divine it was...Several times it seemed to me that Lord Varadaraja was present in front of us. Definitely He would...since it was sheer dedication on the part of Harinee. My pranama to Sheela Madam for nurturing such a wonderful disciple 🙏
A true tapaswi Dear girl the dedication that you have towards your art and towards the people with whom you engage with in your journey is an example in itself . Best wishes to both the guru and shishya combo God bless
When ever I watch your videos I feel I am blessed to have Sheela mam and harini akka as my inspiration always inspite of me learning in a different institute in different style
The dedication you showed and the vast research you did for it and then adapting it in your art....uff... Harini you always win our heart. And what lovely guru and support system...cudos! Awaiting to watch your performance
You are the inspiration to other dancers like guru bhakthi dedication hard work along with guru blessings always keep it up God bless you Nataraja bless you
You brought tears in my eyes, this is indeed a penance, the amount of hardwork and dedication you have put in just amazing. I sincerely pray for your good health to keep doing more and more such projects. You made your Guru proud. Good luck dear 🤗
Such a inspiring journey and just listening to this brought mixed emotions inside me. The humility, the devotion and the love for art in Harini is so inspirational and makes her very special. A very well made episode, deeply touched 🙏
With tears in bliss...god bless harini and all who are all part of it ...wish to nurture the art more and more and make all feel the divinity of the art
A very pleasing gift from Selvi. Harinie Jeevidhaa! Effortless and seamless integration of Bhaavam and perfect Abhinayam presented in the most intricate way! As ever, Selvi. Harinie Jeevidhaa, has in her mind and heart, every intricate "Bhaavam" precisely "Designed" in detail, before she opens up the flow of "Jathis!" Greetings to Sree Dhevid Nirudhyaalayaa and Congratulations to Sree. Sheelaa Unni Krishnan for a good construction of this video tutorial thru this Thapasyaa Adhyaayam 63. Combining all these Thapasyaa into on book, I am sure, we will get a very narrative and dedicated "Bharadha Saasthiram" from its root levels to the younger generation. A very deep and instructive practical training indeed! The delight in going thru the "Bharadham Upadhesam" thru a real stage presentation, is writ large on her energetic face, as it is visible from the Glow all over her face! Thanks a lot of a lot to Selvi. Harinie Jeevidhaa and Sree. Sheelaa Unni Krishnan!
I am a fluent writer, I believe so, I think! But when it comes to praise and congratulate Selvi. Harinie Jeechdhaa, I actually hunt for the right set of words and sentences to express my delight in experiencing the emotions she cascades forth with her great flow of the exact "Bhaavam" all thru! Very pleasing to see her do "Bharadham" purely and solely for the sake of "Bharadham!"
Congratulations Harini Jeevitha. Your Gurubhakthi, Hardwork and humbleness will take you to various heights in Bharathanatyam Field. All the best maa💐💐
Akka, I type this comment with absolute pride and adoration for who you are. These Tapasya episodes have revealed a self of you that I relate to, a quiet, focused self, who loses herself to Bharatanatyam and its multiple stories and even finds herself there. Your words about not expecting, only working, are motivating not just in the dance space but also in academics and other goals. I had a few questions: How did you decide upon your sources for the background information? And how did you finally zero down on the information that you needed to inspire yourself? What was the process behind choosing some mudras such as shukhatunda and what was your experimentation like?
Namaste Ananyaa, Thank you for your message🙏😊 To answer your questions, 1. How did you decide upon your sources for the background information? It is always best to gather information on the subject from reliable sources. Natyarangam had assigned Dr. Chitra Madhavan, an Indian historian, as the resource person for this project. She gave me ample insights about the temple and an overview of the Uthsavam. I also read a couple of books and articles which touched upon history, legends, compositions etc. of this temple and the deity. I was also fortunate to meet a few localites of Kanchipuram, with whom I could discuss in-detail the various intricacies related to the subject. I too happened to witness the Uthsavam this year, from which I made my observations 😊 2. How did you zero down on the information that you needed to inspire yourself? When it came to weaving the presentation from the bank of information gathered, these are some of the points that I had in mind: a) Sticking to the theme b) Incorporating variety in presentation (variety in terms of the Sthaayi or mood of the different segments presented). c) Striking a balance between adding stories or episodes which the audience will be familiar with or easily connect to Vs introducing them to events or episodes they might not be familiar with. d) Incorporating the events that I personally witnessed in the Uthsavam this year. Having the above points in mind, I organised the gathered information to form a sequence that was convincing for me😊 3. What was the process behind choosing some mudras like Shukatunda and what was your experimentation like? Dr. Vempati Chinnasatyam has incorporated the Shukatunda hasta to depict the crocodile in his depiction of Gajendra Moksham in 'Ksheera sagara shayana'. Therefore, I chose to use the same, without a second thought 😊 When it comes to experimenting with Hastas, I have mostly stuck to the conventional ones so far. But I'm sure that the vocabulary of Hastas prescribed in our texts, on close observation, contemplation and understanding, will certainly lend themselves to accommodate anything that our creativity demands to depict 😊
Excellent choreography, Indepth understanding of Lord Varadaraja with vandhar vandhar,. Her passion, patience, delivery of appropriate postures portrait her to be one of the best dancers of India. Blessings to reach peak by performance. Wish her more accolades. 👏👏👏👏💐👌

Akka, I type this comment with absolute pride and adoration for who you are. These Tapasya episodes have revealed a self of you that I relate to, a quiet, focused self, who loses herself to Bharatanatyam and its multiple stories and even finds herself there. Your words about not expecting, only working, are motivating not just in the dance space but also in academics and other goals. I had a few questions: How did you decide upon your sources for the background information? And how did you finally zero down on the information that you needed to inspire yourself? What was the process behind choosing some mudras such as shukhatunda and what was your experimentation like?
Namaste Ananyaa,
Thank you for your message🙏😊
To answer your questions,
1. How did you decide upon your sources for the background information?
It is always best to gather information on the subject from reliable sources. Natyarangam had assigned Dr. Chitra Madhavan, an Indian historian, as the resource person for this project. She gave me ample insights about the temple and an overview of the Uthsavam.
I also read a couple of books and articles which touched upon history, legends, compositions etc. of this temple and the deity.
I was also fortunate to meet a few localites of Kanchipuram, with whom I could discuss in-detail the various intricacies related to the subject. I too happened to witness the Uthsavam this year, from which I made my observations 😊
2. How did you zero down on the information that you needed to inspire yourself?
When it came to weaving the presentation from the bank of information gathered, these are some of the points that I had in mind:
a) Sticking to the theme
b) Incorporating variety in presentation (variety in terms of the Sthaayi or mood of the different segments presented).
c) Striking a balance between adding stories or episodes which the audience will be familiar with or easily connect to Vs introducing them to events or episodes they might not be familiar with.
d) Incorporating the events that I personally witnessed in the Uthsavam this year.
Having the above points in mind, I organised the gathered information to form a sequence that was convincing for me😊
3. What was the process behind choosing some mudras like Shukatunda and what was your experimentation like?
Dr. Vempati Chinnasatyam has incorporated the Shukatunda hasta to depict the crocodile in his depiction of Gajendra Moksham in 'Ksheera sagara shayana'. Therefore, I chose to use the same, without a second thought 😊
When it comes to experimenting with Hastas, I have mostly stuck to the conventional ones so far. But I'm sure that the vocabulary of Hastas prescribed in our texts, on close observation, contemplation and understanding, will certainly lend themselves to accommodate anything that our creativity demands to depict 😊
