www.natyasutra...
Rama Vaidyanathan's interpretation of the Bharatanatyam piece Adhanarishwara Ashtakam emphasizes the equality of men and women, highlighting the need for their cooperation to maintain balance in the world. The portrayal of Lord Shiva as both male (Shiva) and female (Parvati) illustrates how both genders are vital for harmony. This representation teaches us that creation and dissolution are linked and crucial for the world's continuation. The dance not only imparts profound concepts but also emphasizes the significance of mutual respect and how dance can convey ancient wisdom.
