This is the story of a weapon. One that has made its way from the hands of a defender to those of a dancer. An age-old tradition that has changed with time to become what it is today. A martial art that has traveled across Asia. Aishwarya Manivannan walks us through her journey with what is considered to be a masculine sport, Silambam. She speaks of a journey of strength. Of discovery. Of spirit. The journey of a 3000-year-old martial art. The pride of Tamil Nadu.
The music is inspired by lines from the Thirukkural that speak for the power in a woman’s glance
கூற்றமோ! கண்ணோ! பிணையோ!
மடவரல் நோக்கம் இம் மூன்றும் உடைத்து.
(Death? Eyes? Or a doe? Her simple sight has the spirit of all three.)

Being a silambam practioner, i am very grateful to virtual bharath and the woman for this splendid short film. Millions of wishes to the woman tiger
Hi may I know more, can I get details about siloam silambam
How much time takes to learn silamban
Where are you learning?
I am a kalaripayattu artist from Kerala😊Now excited to learn Silambam from Tamilnadu 😍😍 Loves Tamilnadu 😍
Kalaraipayattu is also a ancient Tamil art.
Malyalalis also tamils once.
really? from tamilnadu? so u wana start on state fight?
@@koolcrazy80 no one can change the truth.
Kalaripayattu is originated from ancient tamil chera kingdom.
That is now Kerala.
@@manikandan_ip which place? Parashurama creat kerala ?and he is the master of all martial arts
@@koolcrazy80 parashurama😒😒😒.
Waste of time to talk with you.
First, save the Kerala from conversion of Christians.
Hats off to Bharatbala sir for bringing these stories - we have to gradually descend back and bring our glory of our times into the now with these practices. Hats off !
I wish this was taught in my school.
Our ancient art.
You are doing it so well as it was giving me to learn as a girls,So brave This show women is always great it's a duty to respect
It is always in the mind.
Such great content this channel is putting up. In a time where most of us are mimicking the western world, such stories are much needed to help us understand the real Bharat and it’s great civilisation. Many congratulations to everyone involved. So happy to have come across this channel.
Dhanyvad 🙏🏻
*this is an ancient material art from ancients India And a so beautifully fighting systematic of combinations meditating techniques & soft dance to dangerously attack*
Truly amazing. I again bow down to our India tradition. Looking forward to learn it
I am also silambam player ❣ one of my best film this , very nice🤗
It makes me think what a trash they've turned our school/college education into... To think that martial art came from shaolin(china) 😑
1 lecture of an Indian Martial Art along with Yog & Dhyan even once a week could do wonders to our students...
so well said we need to change education system
No , they'll say it as a Right winged RSS agenda
@@zzzzzz1510 its not rss agenda ... that is root of india
Well said
@@drambikapandeyshukla2532 he said " they'll say it"
I recently discovered your channel and I am glad I did that. The amount of hard work and creativity is beyond measure. keep up the good work and thank you so much ❤️
Thank you so much Yachna your words mean the world to us. Do subscribe and share our work :)
@@virtualbharat super work sir
I am amazed to see how Bharat bala brings life to these untold stories to common man thru these short films. So so beautifully crafted visuals . By end of every movie that Virtual Bharat puts out ,one gains knowledge and realise how traditionally rich culture we are rooted with. Brilliant performance by Aishwarya manivannan especially with the 6 yard.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for watching and following our work!
தமிழன் என்று சொல்லும் போது மீண்டும் ஒரு முறை பெருமை பட்டுக் கொள்கிறேன்.
தமிழச்சி வயிற்றில் பிறந்தவன் என எண்ணும் போது முரம் கொண்டு புலி விரட்டிய சமூகத்தின் வரலாறு இன்னும் உயிர்ப்புடன் தான் உள்ளது.

It's a great video. Nice to see our culture getting carried on.
The camera angles and lighting are just mesmerizing. The sub-titling is unique that is in Tamil for English dialogues and vice-versa, which I don't remember having seen elsewhere. Two things i feel could have been done and if you think it's ok, pl do. One is the name of Silambam Exponent viz. Ms Aishwarya Manivannan could have been given when she starts talking and two, her Master's name could have been given. But, to be frank, it was like watching a period movie in a short time frame. Thanks for the wonderful creation. I am sharing this video proudly with all my acquaintances.
Regards.
Beautiful picturisation adding additional richness to the oldest art. Making to watch again and again.
மிகச் சிறந்த பதிவு இது போல் நவயுக பதிவுகள் நம்முடைய வீரம் மற்றும் வரலாறு, பண்பாடு, கலை, ஆகியவற்றை இன்றைய தலைமுறையிடம் கொண்டு சேர்க்க மிகவும் உதவியாக இருக்கும் உங்கள் முயற்சிக்கு என் மனம் கனிந்த பாராட்டுக்கள்
உங்கள் அன்பிற்கும் ஆதரவிற்கும் நாங்கள் மிகவும் நன்றியுள்ளவர்களாக இருக்கிறோம். நன்றி
Excellent exhibit of Tamilnadu's tradition and martial art. Great compilation.
South Indian civilization is the oldest and the greatest.
Proud to be a South Indian
One more watchable channel i found on youtube, after long time.
Nt virtual actual Bharat through your videos..Jai Hind
Preserve our Hindu culture and tradition, Gods and art, science, yoga, Prevent conversion of Hindus to Christianity and Muslims. And protect the students becoming communists.
@Priyanshu Katheriya You must read about ambetkar
@Priyanshu Katheriya Which religion is without caste and economic exploitation? Tell me.
@Priyanshu Katheriya devika rani proud about hindu culture,not honor killings.whu u got wrong about her.why u emotion.ambetkar also marry second wife bramin girl, no one oppose that marriage because both of them matured.tamilnadu higher class will accept that marriage, if it is matured love.so don't get anger
@Skanda Karma, its only through education empowerment that caste system can be removed from society.. The atrocity against dalits in south india is perpetuates mainly by old aged people.. New generation dont beleive in discrimination and vioence against other castes.. Also tamilnadu hinduism is dominated by dalits.. Bhkati movement started by dalits, it was later taken up by other castes, shiva /nallachan/murugan/kali/neeli...all are tamil dalit(ancinet) gods... Upper castes borrowed them.. Have to reclaim them back..
@Skanda Karma, being born as lower caste - untouchable i dont beleive in leaving hinduism...as the alternatives are equally or worsely oppressive as through out history its seen , also generations of my ancestors believed in and practiced some thing which was /is organic to this land...some belief systems which came from another cultural background, often mocking the indegenious belifs of my ancestors by beleiving in a sky dady.., i cannot accept that..!!.. Education,collective empowerment and no one would dare to do any harm to one....
Wow seeing the worrier in action gives me immense pride of my culture 🙏
Thank you for watching, we are glad you feel the same pride we feel.
I am a Hindu from sonipat Haryana my land is of warriors as of my Tamil brothers at present my son is of 1.4 year old and I want to teach him Silukbum but we have no centre here in Haryana can please tou help me so that I can my son a great warrior so he can make his body and soul perfect please tell me.
Jai Shri Ram
There are not enough centres in Tamilnadu itself, forget about haryana LoL.
Fantastic and respected to women ...I am proudly to say tamizan....tamizan very very very old generation in world and the language also and this kind of fighting methods also came from tamiz samogam only .........even chozhan period it's only 4500 years ...but cheras and pandiyans is 10000bc that's time its self pandiyas army women also there..
Thank you so much for watching, and sharing your knowledge with us. We really appreciate it.
Damn this is beautiful... love from kerala ❤️
This is so incredibly beautiful. Each time I see one of the virtual bharat films, it fills me with awe
Thank you so much for following our work, we are so happy to know it resonates with you
Just speechless... it deapens my love toward Bharat mahaan, jai Hind.
கடந்த பத்து தினங்களாக என் மகள் இந்த கானொலியை காணாமல் தூங்குவதில்லை...
I learned Kung Fu's .. Snake Crane Tiger Eagle Sha o Lin Form.. Long Cudgel.. But My Tamil Martial Art Silambam Thought to Use 2 Long Cudgel at a Time.. Amazing..

I am also silambam learning a girl

So
Virtual bharat me naari ke Saree ke upar ki hastkala pe detail episode to banatahi hai,,, waiting
Seems like the true spirit of Bharat is rising from the ashes back to fire.!!
Wow Shivam thanks for that incredible comment!
Aishwarya ma'am has been by Indian art history teacher in NIFT chennai. And seeing her like this makes me very proud. I literally got goosebumps. If you see this comment ma'am please know that we're proud of you.
சிலம்பம்
மடுவு
கத்தரி
குத்து கட்டை
பந்துக்கோல்
சவுக்கு
அறுவா
இவை எல்லாவற்றையும் சிலம்பத்துடன் சேர்த்து பயன்படுத்தியுள்ளனர் நமது முன்னோர்கள்.
சிலம்பத்தை நாம் நமது பிள்ளைகளுக்கு கற்றுக் கொடுக்க வேண்டும்.
எங்கள் படம் பார்த்ததற்கு மிக்க நன்றி. ஆமாம், குச்சி அடிப்படையிலான தற்காப்புக் கலைகளின் வேர்கள் சிலம்பாமில் இருந்து வந்தன, இது ஆசியா முழுவதும் சென்றது.
I love silampam
U are very beautiful
தமிழச்சி வீரம் உலக போற்ற வேண்டும்... தமிழன்..
மூத்த கலையும் முதற் கலையும் இதர போர்கலைகலைகளின் தாய்கலையாம் சிலம்பக்கலை கற்போம் சிலம்பம் காப்போம் சிலம்பம் வாழ்க தமிழ் வளர்க தமிழ்
Beautiful Video... Each region in Bhārat has it's own Martial Arts form, we lost many (eg. Niyuddha found by Sage Vasishta) & some of them are near extinction...
Great martial art need to be give coaching such like these arts in school level mandatory program
Here after Suriya Anna's tweet. So, beautiful and authentic, kudos to the woman🔥🔥
வாழ்க நமது அடையாளம்... 🙏
It humbles me to realize how little does one actually know about the marvels of the very own place we call our home town or state and country and how much more there is. All the series makes me want travel inward and know more of our own country. Thank you.
உங்கள பார்த்து எனக்கும் கற்றுக்கொள்ள ஆசை வருகிறது, ரொம்ப அருமையான சுத்தினிங்க😍.....நீங்கள் தமிழர் என்பதில் எங்களுக்கு பெருமை✌
Goosebumps. Could relate to '...it's almost like meditation'. Wonderfully made, great work Sir.
Thank you so much for watching and your words of support.
Ur Silambam skills are amazing 💕😍💕😍😍✨ I am a karate player now I 🙋love to learn Silambam .then now I am a beginner of the student in Silambam but a few months r years fully learn to become a Silambam master also💓💖💓💓
A warrior sport beautifully picturised gives you the feeling you are sitting on the beach watching it alone.
Heartening to note that an art form if I may call it that, has been just saved from oblivion. I'm eagerly waiting for the other videos on the similar subject.
Bharatbala has excelled in the picturisation. Specially some of the overhead shots are spellbinding. Very impressed at the skill of the lady with which she is able to keep the Lathi attack at bay. Brilliant display and brilliant short film. You wish it wouldn't end. Thanks Bharatbala.
Thank you for watching, we are glad you feel the same pride we feel.
Excellent presentation. Silambam should be taught and learnt in all schools so that it can be alive for generations to come.
Our Indian culture is too rich in martial art, food , science . It's amazing pride to be a part of this nation.
How many of you felt that goosebumps while watching this?!😯
And how many of u felt so proud to have such an ancccccient wisdom in our country?
This is to Aishwarya Manivanan - hats off, Tamizhachi!! When people are running behind to become a doctor or an engineer, turning ur attention to such an art is in itself a courageous act 👏
To the teachers/masters/gurus - Thalai vananguhiraen
Last but not the least - for everyone who produced these kind of series to show what India is, Outstanding and cool dudes!!!😎😉
Fantastic
Please keep showing us our Bharat culture.
Lover of music👁

Thanks to Bharatbala and #VirtualBharath team for this awesome initiative. 👍👏👌
"Virtual Bharat "...u r doing great work...keep doing it ...atleast this and upcoming generation should know ...who we really are ...not what that had been taught in our history books.

As a silambam passionate,when I watch this i started crying without knowing.i will surely take this to the next generation...
கற்க விரும்பிகிறாள்... சந்தோசமாகவும் பெருமையாகவும் இருக்கிறது.. பெருமை சகோதரிக்கே..

From New York City (USA) => Madam Aiswarya Manivannan -Brilliant Performance .- as Yogi Padhanjali says => Ekaagram ( Focus /Concentration) Abhyaasa (Relentless Practice )/Vairragya ( the spirit to achieve)/Physical & Mental Agility -All could be seen in this 7*22 minutes Performance Excellent Performance -God Bless you
Thankyou for introducing this masterpiece with us. Totally in love with this art..❤️
We are so glad to view this clip which otherwise would not have been possible without your efforts. We deeply appreciate your work and hope that you keep producing such works often and keep us informed and entertained.
About Silambam, I feel it not just involves physical aspect but mental aspect as well coz one has to align the stick, body, mental state and the thought process in one line to make it graceful and enjoyable at the same time. It should be taught in schools so the kids learn it at a very early age and benefit from it not in terms of physical health but more importantly in terms of discipline which will help them to build a strong character and will power. More importantly to overcome adversaries of life. Aishwarya is a great ambassador to the art and will definitely make all proud.
மிக அருமை.
Good work..
and a reminder to all tamils..!
Superb!! Marvellous!! Excellent!!
Beautiful and so inspiring. Your videos transport me completely. Thank you.
Mam what a inspiration,you are example for women empowerment 🙏
உண்மையான வீர பெண்ணே உங்களுக்கு என் மரியாதை நிமித்தமாக வணக்கம்.நீங்கள் பல்லாண்டு சகல செளபாக்கியமும் பெற்று, நல்ல உடல் நலத்துடன் வாழ வாழ்த்துகள்.
Lovely ❤Totally enjoyed the travel thru India thru someone else’s eye🇮🇳🙏🇮🇳
Silambam should be teach in schools . So we can preserve it for future .
Couldn't stop watching this video until end. Great initiative from Bharatbala and his team to unearth all these hidden treasures from within. Great work team!!
