“Sarpatatwam or The Serpent Wisdom” by Mohiniyattam artiste Methil Devika is a dancer’s portrayal of serpent allure and is the first-ever Indian Classical dance short-doc to have been voted into the contention list of the Oscar Academy Award, 2019 The serpent has long held the fascination of numerous cultures which imbues it with God-like qualities. The serpent is both feared and worshipped in not only Indian culture but across civilisations be it Greek, Egyptian or Chinese. Through Mohiniyattom, an Indian classical dance form dating back to 17th century, the dancer interprets the serpent’s moves as it coils, unfurls and glides through mysterious spaces. We are transported to another time, where there’s nothing left but the primordial. The archival film is an attempt to preserve Indian philosophy and mysticism through traditional performance and its associated esoteric and representative symbols. The documentary is unique in real-time performance-filming as it remains true to the artiste’s internalizing of the content, her dissemination through movement, trance and verbal conversation.

Sooooo talented.... speechless 😳🌕
തെറ്റ് രണ്ട് വശത്തും ഇല്ലേ? അച്ഛനാകാൻ പ്രായം ഉള്ള ഒരാളുടെ കൂടെ എടുത്തു ചാടി പോകുമ്പോൾ ബുദ്ധി ഇല്ലായിരുന്നോ. പ്രത്യേകിച്ചും ഒരു വിവാഹം കഴിച്ച ആൾ ആണ് എന്ന് അറിയാഞ്ഞിട്ടല്ലല്ലോ. വ്യക്തിപരം ആയ കാര്യങ്ങളെ കലയുമായി കൂട്ടി കുഴക്കുന്നത് എന്തിന്?
Felt like Naagadevi Herself dancing...wow...soo divine 🙏🙏🙏🙏🐍🐍🐍
കണ്ണയ് സേവിയാകെ കൊണ്ടായ് എന്ന ഭാഗം ഇതിലും നന്നായി ആർക്കേലും അവതരിപ്പിക്കാൻ കഴിയും എന്ന് ഞാൻ വിശ്വസിക്കുന്നില്ല. ദേവിക മാമിന് ഒരു കോടി നന്ദി ഇതു പോലെയൊരു നൃത്തം ഞങ്ങൾക്കായി സമർപ്പിച്ചതിന് നമ്മുടെ നാടിന്റെ മഹത്വം വാനോളം ഉയർത്തിയതിന് 🙏🏻
Its a wonderful study of sarpa representing കുണ്ഡലിനി ശക്തി
"ആട് പാമ്പേ കുലം തേട് പാമ്പേ"
ശ്രീ നാരായണ ഗുരുദേവൻ പറഞ്ഞത്, സർപ്പത്തെ ഉദേശിച്ചിരുന്നില്ല മറിച്ച് കുണ്ഡലിനി ശക്തി ആയിരുന്നു, ജ്ഞാനികൾ അറിഞ്ഞു....
സർപ്പോലോകത്തെ കുറിച്ചും, ആ ലോകത്തെ കുറിച്ചും ഒന്നും പറഞ്ഞു കണ്ടില്ല...!
Very much similarities with human being and snakes..... ഇത് അരമണിക്കൂറിൽ ഒതുങ്ങുന്ന ഒരു subject അല്ല..
കേരളത്തിലേ സംസ്കാരത്തെ തോറ്ററിയാൻ പുതിയ തലമുറയ്ക്ക് ഒരു പ്രേരണ
Thank you madan
God bless you🙏
ശരിക്കും ദേവി മാം ഒരു നാഗകന്യകയായി മാറിയെന്നു തോന്നിയ നിമിഷങ്ങൾ.....!!!! നാഗത്തിന്റെ ചലനങ്ങൾ പോലും കൃത്യമായി അവതരിപ്പിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു...... അതിമനോഹരം.....
Beautiful and graful in each step. God bless her. She is gorgeous, talented and educated dancer. Which is very rare combination, overall she is so cultered abd humble person❤❤❤❤
Exactly
Mohiniattam is a very graceful dance form. But this is beyond graceful. It's so spiritual. It's so obvious and meaningful which is presented gracefully. She connected herself to the finest emotional and characteristic string of the creature and hence it was so easy for her to become one while performing. This is so unique and as she said it was worth documenting it
The snake is the symbol of alertness and the lord shiva is the symbol of absolute consciousness.
The depiction of the spiritual awakening through her dance was out of this world.
I fall in love with this performance ... Watch more then 20 times
Ma'am, Epitome of Gracefulness... Being a Great Devotee of Naganghal,myself, i was enthralled to watch you transform into those graceful movements..Indeed a blessed performance ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can anyone be this graceful in a 'sarpa drshti' ? No words can express ur beauty mam💕 loved every bit of your performance. Also glad that Mohiniyattam art form will get an international acclaim..🙏
I was thinking the same! She gives me goosebumps !
♥️🙏

Speechless.... U really exposed the real soul of Kerala culture. It brought me into my childhood and the *'Kaavu'* (the places in Kerala where people used to worship snakes)
Thank you soo much mam...
I couldn't take my eyes off her, beautiful choreography and amazing thoughts behind that, wish more people would appreciate such content 🙏
True..some pinch..she is so enchanting

How can anyone dislike this ancient and mysterious knowledge?
Heartiest applause and thank you for bringing this to us 😇
Uffff ... Can't explain... What a performance Devika...
She is a class women with high attitude to take such a subject and deliver with excellence. #respect
Beyond words... All blessings from nagayakshiyamma🙏🏻
Another classic in the world of Arts, she is another Davinci in the world of dance.So convincingly presented the nuances of sarpa , the snake, the mystical domains of every being.She is a real artist who needs to studied thoroughly. Representative of universal art.
Amazing mam... I am not a classical dancer. But Icould hold the same, great philosophy....which is the ever pure treasure in our vedhas and our cultural texts....Extremely happy to watch your dance and disclosure of this great philosophy
"First I'd like to appease the audience within"...👍👍👍
Mam,...njan oru classical dancer ane ente place mannarashala ane Ambalathil nammal chellumpol ulla feel oru dance ilude undaye ennu vechal ur dedication thanneyane sherikum mam njangalke vazhikatti thanneyane
Mohinyattathine vere level
Oh my God...this is mind blowing. I have no formal knowledge of mohiniyattam or any art form, but from the point of view of a common audience, this is amazing. Those lines 'Kannai sevi aake kondu...' what a transformation is that! I watched this and showed to two more people, all of three of us were startled at that point. Later, in your interview you speak about the same, so that was nice! Hypnotic, graceful, trance in motion. Loved the music, instrumentals, direction, lighting and every shot. Hats off to the entire team.
What a talented woman! Beauty, brilliance, grace, dedication, simplicity extraordinary communication ability, innovative bent of mind all conjoined upon one individual. She deserves all encouragement. Prayers for you Methil Devika. 🙏
One of the greatest dance performances ever, in the present generation. Salute you for the intelligent composition , bringing the higher philosophical wisdom to the masses. The music composition , orchestration , costume and ornament design by Dr. Devika is exemplary and world class. May this the beginning of a fulfilling journey , both for the dancer and the rasikas
Amazing performance, authentic
Aadu Pambe.. See the most beautiful things in it, even it looks fearful. Hinduism teaches us everything around us that is part of the Earth and nature. A religion which helps to observe things more closely without digesting or separating.. but to assimilate everything towards one (the ultimate)...
മുഖിൽ !
Dude she said it's not a part of religion or vedas... It's a secret path for revelation or some secret.... Its nagas
@@cosmos195 she may not be..But what she did is certainly the part of 'Tantra pada'
@Asocio Analyst - You may call it religion or not according to your sensibilities. But what she has portrayed is the well-documented and widely followed path of Kula-Kundalini yoga/tantra in the Indian traditions. She displays in the dance the yogic system of awakening the Kundalini (serpent power) residing in the mooladhara chakra and guiding it step by step to the Sahasrara. The references to using 'ears as eyes' alludes to the yogic method of turning your eyes inward by closing it to the world. Pambatti Siddhar (author of the song) himself was a well-known Siddha in the Shaivite tradition. The 'serpent kalam' drawn on the floor and the final act of erasing it are all widely practised elaborate rituals in many naga temples across Kerala.
Well said
No words. Absolutely no words to describe this enchanting performance! And then the interviewer is also such a humble person! His genuine admiration for her, for the concept and her dance is reflected perfectly from his eyes, when he is listening to her explaining about the vision of snakes.
OH My God the second half,it was an out of the body experience.
words cannot explain the beauty of this act...💕💕💕
Tears of joy and pride are the reward I present you Devika. Goosebumps....
This is surprising and definitely a feast to my eyes. Never seen this version of mohiniyatam.. music was different , genre was different but still it’s same our mohiniattam.. splendid and so gracefully performed
Excellent, fabulous, Out of this world and looking forward for many more brilliant films
maam i am hoping that one day i can see you performing mighty dance of all..the dance of cosmos..the dance of destruction and recreation..dance of the Pashupathi..Shiv tandav🔥🔥🔥
Dancing with feet is one thing.. But dancing with heart makes it different.. Loved every bit of it..
This is the only performance of her if you say so is good enough, but if she claims the Devine attractive element, lets see in her charter and in her future. her only asset is a symmetric face which will drop soon.
ruclips.net/video/sEbqGcioaE8/видео.html
I see what you meant.. Progressive skills needs appreciation.. And she is beautiful..
Awestruck !! Wet eyes seeing a performance after a very long time !! You were that , that was you !!
Connecting with the Divine through Mohiniyattom.....🙏❤️ No words Ma'am 💕
This work was like a scientific paper presented at a medical research meeting. Madam, thank you for bringing scientific process into mohiniyattam. As a physician and as a person who has done some sadhana in music at the feet of my kind teachers, I pranaam your intelligence, hard work , confidence and executive abilities.
But in the end , the outcome is like sweet nectar- Amrithu from samudramadhanam. Divine performance. 🙏🏻
The costume and the stage spot with its backdrop were adding to the ambiance of a such a serpent dance.
My reverential Namaskaram for the graceful and brilliant performance and the exposition of the philosophical concept. My sincere prayers to Mother to bless you with long years of health, joy and devotion so you can keep this art form pristine and live for the generations to come.🙏🙏🙏

Loved it ❤️
I'm from North East India
Got to know more about the culture of kerela❤️
The dance gave me goosebumps 😍
Every step she did it was Just amazing ❤️
Would love to visit the snake temples there ❤️ hope to see more videos like this ✌️
Hey which state from northeast. It would be good if you mention state instead of region. We Indians need to be more specific and know every culture. Love from Maharashtra
Me too I got Goosebumps too, I'm from Kerala
@@dineshganyarpawar5441 yeah
Heyyy winsomeee😍😍
South India has preserved the culture in its authenticity. Due to less invasions, unlike in the North India, our ancestors could invest in cultural things in depth
Awesome.. first time in life , a dance brings tears uncontrolable.. May you be blessed always. Thank you.
Performance of the dedicated artist is appreciated. She did her work after much research work. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow wow!!! Thank you Methil Devika for sharing such profound wisdom & power of intent!! Such a Grace!
This is very deeply experiential documentary, and a lot of research has gone through by the dancer in this. Having grown up in temples seen the kalamezhthu and initiated to Kriya Yoga, I could relate to many aspects being expressed by the dancer. This is a treasure for the wisdom passed by forefathers. And gratitude to whole team and the creator of this magnificient piece.
Thank you for such a blissful performance..
A performance where you cant take your eyes off her and thought provoking explanations making deeper impressions on one's mind!! Was waiting for this , since you talked about it in a show. Shows the great effort, care, passion and all above the research done to present it in such grace and beauty. ATHISUNDARAM.......
I just melted away in your performance.. beautiful
Oh my God!!! How i missed this video..its mindblowing...outstanding performance..hats off to you.. felt mysterious on every moment..

Congratulations, Devika.so beautiful. Excellent presentation. Really happy to see your growth not only as a dancer and choreographer but also in the understanding of our culture.presenting the theme in Mohiniyattam is not an easy task. May you continue to enthrall us with more such performances.
Breathless, especially the last phase, where you do magic with your eyes, amazing...
What a graceful artist! Why is Ms Devika confined to Kerala only. What're the state's culture bureaucrats doing to promote this terrific talent beyond our borders. God, Methil Devika's a treasure, let the whole world get to experience her, pleeeeeeease.
Mind blowing performance.....💕💕💕
Congratulations madam.
Such a beauty this is!! Mystical... divine articulation and expression!! 💖 💖
You have brought to play, all the condensed wisdom, beauty and grace that are so essential to understanding the spirituality of Pambatti Siddhar. Your voice-over adds overtones to the visual performance. Wish you many more such performances. God bless you
Omg. I can’t describe how beautiful this is. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. I couldn’t take my eyes off. Soooooooooo beautiful and graceful. Thank you for this performance.
Wonderful! extraordinary, so very expressive, even for an ignorant!

Serpentine perfection. No words to describe your performance. So much subtle energy and emotion and your inner dance with it. Thank you. Just returned from Kerala, land of deep knowledge.
Respect! Your have definitely triggered thoughts to say the least.Thank you.
Thankyou mam for bringing the artform and the underlying spiritual elements in a way easily comprehended by ordinary people through this dance documentary.😊
Brilliant Ma’an!Cery different concept portrayed in your own style & dance form!Amazing!!
The Serpent's Thesis .., beautiful depiction ., Congrats. Its substance that sustains Art..,and Art in turn adorns a Culture.
just incredible! My humble salute!!
You're unique in your way of taking up our cultural aspects through dance forms. Mohiniyattam is such a devotional, spiritual form of art and you could convey the concept so deeply through this.Your perseverance, patience and connection to light up the concept is remarkable..Salute you Ms. Devika..
Very beautiful and arresting... The trance rubbed off on me as i watched. Thank you Devika mam.
Enlightening piece of work. Thanks for the wonderful experience.
Awesome... beautiful performance.... choreography superb.,..feel Romanjam
Splendid....wondering....how beautifuly you choreoraphd ......no words really....hats offffff ma'm
Totally amazing. Fearlessness with which you were walking in the forest barefooted.
Dance made me speechless.
And after the interview I had to go back and watch the dance again.
Ignorance is dark and the knowledge is darker.
My God I have to ponder.
Bless you.
I had not felt before, such a beautiful sarptatvam through a mohini attam dance! Great doctor methil devika and her talent of dance and mudrabhinay!
Spellbound performance. The way you recreate the concept through this art is awesome. The second half of the performance where you transform into the concept with that specifications of sarpa drishti and later the awakening of the chakras and the Kundalini power has really struck me.
Meticulous performance
Philosophical perspective deep in this concept was so beautiful
This is unlike any other mohiniyatam I have seen before. Truly soulful.... God bless🙌
Got tears in eyes. Don't know why.Thank you,Devika.God bless you.
Extraordinary piece of creation....Appreciate the creator within....Thank you so much for expressing the spiritual knowledge hidden within the sarpam paatu ...
Loved this! Mesmerising!!
Title is an apt one ..
a new wisdom for me about our philosophical views.
Shiva Prabhakara siddhar was really a mystic.. Omallor,Pathanamthitta his temple is there..
Wiping section at the climax of the dance was super ..
Feels respect.... Very talented artist..... Madam u r great 🔥
Dearest Devika🙏. My most humble pranaams to you. Watching Sarpatatwam and your intent behind triggering the thought process of the SNAKE and it's wisdom that's connected civilizations across eons of time - through a meditative art form of Mohiniyattam was both surreal & ethereal. Bringing yet another gem of a point "ignorance is dark but knowledge is darker" - a statement so profound that it has got me thinking instantly that knowledge is a thirst only a true seeker can quench, temporarily, for it is a deep abyss that has no end!
Thank you for reigniting my thought to look inwards and allow shedding of everything that wears us down temporarily, to rejuvenate, reenergize and rise, just like the Snake🙏.
No words. One of the best piece of art!
ഏറെ ബഹുമാനത്തോടെ നമസ്കരിക്കുന്നു...സാങ്കേതിക വശങ്ങളെ കുറിച്ച് പറയാനുള്ള അറിവ് ഇല്ല, പക്ഷേ എത്ര കണ്ടാലും മതിവരാത്ത മോഹിനിയാട്ടം ആണിത് ...വീണ്ടും വീണ്ടും കാണുമ്പോൾ കണ്ണുകൾ നിറഞ്ഞു, നെഞ്ചില് ഭക്തിയും ദേവി ചൈതന്യവും ഘനീഭവിക്കുകയാണ് ഒടുവിൽ....
Now a days i am so addict of methil devika. What an amazing performance and your knowledge.sooooooooo. Brilliant job.
Mesmerizing....stunning performance.....beautiful choreography and thoughts
Mesmerizing performance, beautifully executed.
God bless you
The bold eye make over, the selection of colours, snake shaped jewelleries................stable eye movements, fantastic expressions speak all about your creativity ma'am. I am really obliged to witness your performance.
Thank you ma'am.
From - Kavya Ramakrishnan.
Simply she is a blessing to ths world
Mesmerising.. Fascinating.. Informative.. Kerala's beautiful classical dance, Mohini Aattam, performed with the greatest finesse. The artist's Brilliance and Beauty simply shines through.. May this be watched and understood by millions. God bless all your hard work.
May nagraj bless you forever. :)
The sensitive bhaavaka is raised from his/her finite frame to the impersonal dynamic flow. The visual initial to the actual rendering to the ritual stage of immaculate and consummate performace leaves the sahrdaya speechless but to be in the same rising spanda. The extraordinary performance is quite successful in taking spectators to a selfless uncoiling. I need to watch the pure act again and again. No words can successfully say anything about the transformative experience. Just speachless.
Oh my!! Coming from a philosopher like you, I am truly truly honoured and humbled. Thank you so much🙏
It's amazing ma'am...
Mind blowing performance👌👌👌👌
Excellent.....beautifull performance...wish you all the best..🙏
Awesome and get goosebumps every time we watch 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 the eyes and expressions, looks I am before a raja nagam 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wonderful 😍😍😍 can't explain the trance that one as viewer feels through this music and the dance.. 👏👏🙏
Chechi... Fantastic !!!! Beautiful concept and dance, as usual ! I still remmember your Kannaki, It was so mesmerizing.. A long way to go.. Hearty congratulation ..
