Amala Akkineni Instagram – Ode to a great teacher🙏🏼
This morning my teacher and mentor Smt.Sarada Hoffman,, passed on…. her loving children and family by her side.
(Gita, Krishna, Paulomi, Arzang, Rohan and Tara Hoffman)
At the age of 96, she was at peace and prepared to leave her physical body. As we bid adieu with deep love and gratitude, we celebrate her incredible life.
Sharada teacher stood tall and unflinching for excellence in every way. Striving for nothing less than perfection was her standard; duty and service were her driving force; and unconditional acceptance for the flaws and limitations of her students was the mark of her compassionate nature.
She never gave up on us, showed us how to bring out the best, even when we resisted. It was she who spent years rehearsing us dancers, enduring our fuss and tears, preparing us for dance and life. She organised our birthdays and weddings without the
blink of an eye. World tours and awards were just another day for her. Work was her worship and service.
I join her family, well wishers, Kalakshetra students and teachers from across the world in prayer-
“May teacher’s eternal journey be peaceful. May she continue to dance with joy in the celestial worlds, spreading love and light. “
She will always be in our hearts.🙏🏼
And I am quite sure Rukmini Attai and Uncle Peter are there with her.
With love and gratitude from your students…🙏🏼 | Posted on 14/Sep/2025 10:59:09
