“Among the various art forms, spiritual music and natya give happiness in my

soul” said President of India Shri APJ Abdul Kalaam at the conclusion of the

dance drama Narthaki Kirtanam by leading Bharatanatyam dancer Vasanthi Sridhar

and her students at Sai International Centre in Delhi last week. The dance

drama was based on 21 abhangs and kirtans, written by Vasanthi Sridhar and sung

by Hariharan and Suresh Wadkar on music composed by Ashit Desai. These

recordings are available in Times Music audio album Bhaav Taringini which was

also released on the occasion. According to Vasanthi, the project took shape

when “the abhangs were divinely revealed to me in Sanskrit, Marathi, Brij Basha

and Telegu”. The stage presentation commenced with a Sai Kirtan, to mark the

birthday of Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Then salutations were paid to all Lords and

Devas including Shiva and Shakti, the omni-present deities for classical dance

exponents.Former Election Commissioner T.N Seshan, who was called to felicitate

the performers,stated, “.. the heart, head and meditation of a pure devotee

alone are capable of such bliss. We are also so fortunate that the President

appreciates our culture”.
