It’s one of the only choreographies of mine that I have used for so long without really changing much over the years. This is the piece that I write about repeatedly in my book “Finding Shiva” and this is the piece that @anupjkat and @vivianambrose decided to name the coffee table book “Discovering Devi” after. Like I said in my earlier post…. It never gets old. I can dance it forever … and every single time, she appears in all her glory… the goddess. Music: Kalakriya series #bharatanatyam #dance #indiandance #devi #goddess #surrender #imagination #discoveringdevi This part of “Bega baro” is inspired by my nieces and nephew. Who used to close their eyes with their hands and believe that they are hidden. The innocent logic of a child… “Everything looks dark… so obviously no one can see me” 😂 I’ve often been asked how I use my life in these ancient traditional pieces … and this is how. Life and emotions and relationships remain the same… so every character I play is inadvertently infused with something that I have seen/ observed or learned from my own life. I was dancing to this song at home today … and wanted to share this bit again. Full version on my YouTube channel. Music : OS Arun / Amutham Music Video @vivianambrose #begabaro #krishna #love #yashoda #motherandson #hideandseek #innocence #kannada #kannadasongs #devarnama #bharatanatyam Day 25: #100daysofinnergrowth I have been a part of Shivaratri celebrations, participating in dance and music for as long as I can remember. Shiva has been depicted in stories, song and dance in many different ways. Often I would see Shiva depicted as being angry, with his third eye open, dancing full of rage. And it took me a long time to realise that this anger was not personal. The rage that shiva is shown to have is not a personal rage like a human has, because Shiva is not a human being. Shiva / Ishwara represents the all pervasive consciousness. His dance is the dance of the cosmos and the depicted rage is the dissolution of the material universe. I suppose Shiva is shown to have ‘Rage ‘ – because we as humans understand emotion. And rage in reality destroys and ends a lot! Composure, peace, relationships…. Etc But it is a limited human quality superimposed on something that has no limit. As a tribute to realising this concept of “rage” in Shiva, I want to see whether I can remain without raising my voice. This is a hard one for sure. I can’t say, that I won’t get upset. That’s too far a reach. Even if I know the futility of getting upset in retrospect, the emotion always seems to get the better of me in the most inappropriate moments. So for now…. I want to try to control the physical outcome of that emotion. So I will sincerely try not to raise my voice even when I’m upset. Wish me luck! ❤️ Photo: @vivianambrose #shiva #anger #emotion #overwhelm #thoughts #spirituality #awake #reason #trident Bijli Mahadev Temple #savesoil #savesoilsavelife Our environment is important – and any attempt to bring awareness to that, is a positive initiative. @vadhani.asokan wanted to do this one 😊❤️ so here we are , dancing to get your attention – with respect to soil conservation. I spoke a while ago in my #100daysofinnergrowth about how there is a universal value of survival that permeates humanity. And how one should not hurt another in anyway. This “ahimsa” also extends to plants, creatures and inanimate objects. The environment automatically becomes a part of this ahimsa …… Just my thoughts this morning … #environment #protect #motherearth #earth Just dancing …. No reason at all… #happy #bollywood #hindisongs #love #ghagra #whitedress #flowers #joy #indiandance Sometimes we just need to dress up! 😊 Photo @kapil_ganesh for @tanishqjewellery #dancer #pudhumaipenn #pudhumaipenngal #tamilgirl #indianjewellery #pink #pastel #saree I’m so happy to be a part of this film series by @tatacliqluxury The full film premiers today at 12 pm IST on my YouTube channel and on @tatacliqluxury #WatchNow: The Performative Experience. Based on my book, “Finding Shiva”, the film is about the inner journey of the performative experience. It is about how a performer enters an imaginary world on stage and becomes free from the encumbrances of one’s individual identity to experience emotions that are technically not one’s own. In this free state, a performer is possibly the best version of oneself, free from the individual identity.

This is the product of a tiny break … 😊 Can’t tell you how happy I’ve been to have her around ❤️ And @vivianambrose being present . Until @vadhani.asokan visits again! #bharatanatyam #teacherstudent #raadhakalpa #indiandance #tillana #joyofdance #classicalindian #indianclassicaldance Happy Women’s day to all! Whatever privileges we enjoy as women today, we owe to the generations before us who have fought for it. It might seem ridiculous to some people who think that women make an unnecessary fuss about being equal etc. but the truth is that we fight for it constantly in one way or another. Yes it is definitely better now than it used to be for women in the previous generations…. But it’s because so many strong women like my mother have made it possible to come this far. It’s also because of loving kind men like my father who never saw a girl differently from a boy. I’m sharing a picture of the woman I admire the most, My mother. Strong, vocal, opinionated, loving, and willing fight to death for the family…. I know you all have women like this in your lives… they maybe your mothers, grandmothers, sisters, friends, teachers…. And they have supported your dreams and made so much possible. It’s our duty as women to continue to do the same for others, to pass on this legacy of strength and stand up for the women who surround us. We need to make it better for the next generation, and continue this circle of support and love! Tag the women that have supported you! And to celebrate woman’s day, I’m going to send @ruks_by_dancerukmini fragrances to 5 women that have been tagged ❤️ (Will select 5 people in the next two days and send you a DM) Start tagging!

I was so happy to be a part of this along with some other absolutely wonderful women! My SHEro is my mother 😊 Thank you @hersheysindia for celebrating women this March! #womensday #hersheys #shero #inspire #women I’m not sure what world I was in that day. I forgot to wear my waist belt. And didn’t even realise until I finished the performance. But I enjoyed myself immensely on stage. Seems like performance season is finally starting … and I’m excited for it. After nearly two years! I started dancing this Varnam again after many years … I performed it as a part of my production Ishwara, and also as the Bharatanatyam half of Unrequited. It has a new life every time I dance it… and I can never get bored dancing the same things over and over again… Somehow, once I’m in the imaginary world, it’s really doesn’t matter what I’m dancing. Although I prefer dancing this to live music, this one is a music recording from Kalakriya series , released by Guru Priyadarshini Govind 🙏🏽 Video from @sridevi_nrithyalaya_ Shivaratri festival 2022 See you all as audience members hopefully in the near future! #backonstage #dancer #bharatanatyam #shiva #tamil #varnam #carnatic #indianclassicaldance #classicalindiandance Having some fun between work… with my dance baby @vadhani.asokan Really had no ideas what we were going to dance. Just played some music …. And moved 😁 #teacherstudent #dance #bharatanatyam #indiandance #tamilsong My hair goes through a lot because I’m in constant movement. It’s important to give the right nutrients to my hair. Oiling my hair has been a weekly ritual since I was a child…. And I find that it keeps my curls soft if I oil before I shampoo. Thank you for this beautiful oil with curry leaves, amla and Brahmi @secrethairoil ! @secrethairoil #haircare #curls #curlyhair #naturalhaircare #brahmi #amla #dryhair #SecretHairCare #blackcharm Day 27: #100daysofinnergrowth after working on the inner spirit … I always feel that it’s important to extend this integrity of thought into the world … whenever possible. All internal integrity, and the quiet and calm of meditation often crumbles when it faces the external world. So these are the next steps for me. I want to first think of what I can do for the environment… consistently.. Small actions that I can commit to. – having a bucket bath and limiting my water usage multiple times a week (I’ve been doing this for a while now. So showers happen infrequently) – I don’t use those tiny plastic water bottles on flights. Or anywhere else. – and a number of other small things like this…. Wash and reuse all ziplock bags, recycle bottles etc etc This affects the entire community – Maybe in a small way, but it does. I’m going to try to find a few more things that I can commit to consistently today.

Just because … #dance #indian #bollywood #fun #sunnydays #ghagra #pastel Another version of the song I danced to, two weeks ago. Usually I check the meaning of the lyrics of the song, play the song and then improvise two or three times. This was the first time… 😊 The other video to the same song must be from the second or third time. I’ve started to try to remember to dance a little song for all of you whenever I’m dressed for something. Otherwise I usually live in faded tights, old shorts and kurtas, tank tops and t shirts that are suited for yoga, dance and a lot of sweat. 😁 Hope you enjoy this version 😁😁😁 Video @vivianambrose #bharatanatyam #dancer #dance #indianclassicaldance #tamil #kollywood #justforfun #love #romanticsong Day 26: #100daysofinnergrowth the first 25 days offered a lot for me to do and practise. And I’ve spent the last ten days just trying to reinforce some of those ideas. Takining time to think, quiet time everyday, staying away from my phone for some periods of time, considering others feelings before getting upset etc. While I’m working on all of that, i want to add another thing to think about. It’s very hard when one has strong choices of artistic perspective, lifestyle, ideals etc – to not place judgement on those who have made different choices. I’ve been working on myself to recognise this judgement when it arises and let it pass. I feel that this allows me to see past these choices and interact with people from a place of wholesome love . Working on this for now … This beautiful photo was taken by @nehapunjabiandco #100days #innerpeace #judgement #growth #betterperson #spirituality “The performative experience” , a film based on my book “Finding Shiva” Created for @tatacliqluxury is now on my YouTube channel. https://linktr.ee/dancerukmini The applause bursts like rain clattering From a cloud too heavy to hold, My elation bathes me as sweat trickles Down my forehead a moment before It stings my eye to remind me to see, They applaud the dance, not me. If I were to fall prey, my dance entwined With only moments of applause to remind Of my days of yore. No never not.

In my 20s it was easy for me to load continuously and recover quickly even without much sleep. But now in my 30s (don’t believe Wikipedia- I’m not 40 yet 😊) sleep has become most essential! Recovery I’m realising is very very important! And as performances are starting again, this is a reminder to myself ….
