Pramod friend, I live in Brazil and I am a big fan of Indian culture and folklore! Ravi Shankar is one of my favorite musicians and dancers like Madhavi Mudgal, Alarippu, Savitha Sastry and Sujata Mohapatra fascinate me with their art. It's all so ethereal, as you said, that brings me to the essence of humanity! Millenarian art that elevates our souls ... If you can recommend me more about the culture of India, I thank you.
I am glad that this piece is back up on CZcams. It brings out the best in Indian dance. The short sequence at the ten minute mark is particularly expressive. I suspect Mudgal's genius at play here. Very, very well done. Nice to see good camera work and sound capturing this wonderful performance. I salute you, Ms. Madhavi Mudgal.
Dear lurking0death,Thank you for nice words about Soham Asmi performance by Madhavi Mudgal and her colleagues.

Dear Sir, It is certain that the choreographer has a strong musical and Upanishadic knowledge which she/he has applied. The sloka , thadEjathi , thannaijathi , marks the dawn of knowledge in the realm of brahma gnana , a beginning point where there is light but also a component of darkness. this mantra is tuned to Raga Bhoopal , which in music is the rAgA of early morning or twilight hours or Dawn. The mantra "pUshann EkarshE , I perceive is the Climax of realisation where the seeker solemnly asserts "Purushah , sah , aham asmi , and while doing so , great people say he/she enjoys extreme ecstasy . Choice of Raag Durga , which is played during very auspicious moments of rituals such as tying of Mangal sutra in marriages is an Apt choice. More so , Raag Durga creates extreme happiness while hearing. Good job by the mudgals. Regards Ravi Srinivasan

I am a student of Bharatanatyam and Kathak. We are having a tough decision deciding where to go in India. We are afraid of mosquitos in Bhubaneswar, we are very atracted to the south specialy Tamil Nadu, Chidambaram and Pondycherry, but after lots of meditation we decided for Uttar Pradesh, the Lucknow area, and the reazon is that Kathak originated there. We would fly to Dheli, and then Mathura, Lucknow. It is so nice of you to give us your number, big honor. Likewise if you come to Mexico, which isthe true brother of Bharat. 9841692050 with whstsaap. Thank you so much dear Pramod.
Dear Sergio Chavez, Nice to hear that you plan to come to India and go to Mathura and Lucknow. The best time to go to these places is winter months between November until February. Mathura is a four hour road journey from Delhi or even an early morning train that goes to Agra and stops at Mathura. Lucknow will also be good during winter months. You may find these places a bit over crowded...but they have their own charm...my mobile no. is +91 9891594662. My mail address is: mathur.pramod@gmail.com It is also for whatsapp. Do feel free to message me or call me if you have any questions or problems during your stay in India.

@@SPOTFILMS thank you so much dear Pramod, realy you cant imagine the powerfull and deep feelings i have for my sweet mother Bharat, i believe from previous life. I am a student of Bharatanatyam and Kathak. We are having a tough decision deciding where to go in India. We are afraid of mosquitos in Bhubaneswar, we are very atracted to the south specialy Tamil Nadu, Chidambaram and Pondycherry, but after lots of meditation we decided for Uttar Pradesh, the Lucknow area, and the reazon is that Kathak originated there. We would fly to Dheli, and then Mathura, Lucknow. It is so nice of you to give us your number, big honor. Likewise if you come to Mexico, which isthe true brother of Bharat. 9841692050 with whstsaap. Thank you so much dear Pramod.
Dear Sergio Chavez,
Nice to hear that you plan to come to India and go to Mathura and Lucknow. The best time to go to these places is winter months between November until February. Mathura is a four hour road journey from Delhi or even an early morning train that goes to Agra and stops at Mathura. Lucknow will also be good during winter months. You may find these places a bit over crowded...but they have their own charm...my mobile no. is +91 9891594662. My mail address is: mathur.pramod@gmail.com It is also for whatsapp. Do feel free to message me or call me if you have any questions or problems during your stay in India.
First this you should do is by ODOMOS cream or lotion for mosquito...you will find it at any medicine shops...
To get a feel of Mathura and Vrindaban, you are welcome to see our film that we made on Lord Krishna called The "Divine Lover" at this link: czcams.com/video/5VoQPux_eKQ/video.html
Take care.
Warmly
Pramod
Romeu Junior,
Thank you for your comment om Soham Asmi. Unfortunately, I do not understand the language...could you translate that to English? The words Sublime and Divino I can understand but not the other words.
Yes. The music and the dancers provide a great experience.
Thank you.
Pramod
where can I get the text of the words being chanted? I looked up the Isha Upanishad but the the words in this piece do not follow exactly the Isha Upanishad - perhaps it is a variation?
Dear Khans444,
Could you please check ISAVASYOPNISHAD. I am really not in a position to make any comment on the composition of Ms. Madavi Mudgal. As you mention, this might be a variation.
Thank you for your comment.

Dear Khans444,

Time 8:49 Pushan Thou art the nourisher,
Ekarshe the solitary traveler,
Yama the controller,
Soorya the acquirer of all rays, vital forces and liquids,
Praajapatya son of prajaapathi or creator Brahma,
Rashmeen vyooha do remove your rays and
Samooha tejah gather your brightness or dazzle.
(So that)
Yat te what is your
Kalyaanatamam roopam divine form
Tat pashyaami that I may be able to see
Te by your grace
(And realize the reality that)
Yo asau purushah what Purusha or reality is present in the solar orb (here asau is mentioned twice just for emphasis alone),
Sah aham asmi that I am.
Vakya Artha Sloka Meaning
O Sun God (the divine form of Brahman)! Thou art the nourisher, the solitary traveler, the controller, the acquirer and the son of Prajapathi. Do remove your rays and gather your brightness so that I may be able see or realize your divine form by your grace. And thereby realize the ultimate reality that I am the Person who is present in the solar orb.
Dear Anjum Ahmed,
Thank you very much for taking the trouble of translating the verse in English of this beautiful poem used in this dance form.
I am glad that you did this. Many other viewers who will watch this in the future will also benefit.
If you go down on the comments here..you may find that one other viewer had also translated this verse.
Thank you.
Pramod
I would love to know the lyrics ...

Dear Marlu Starowski, Please visit the comments section just below the video window and read the comment of Archana Kamath. She has provide with a link where you should be able to find Sanskrit text with English translation.
This is what she had written, "Such a beautiful representation of the scripture! Loved the dancers and the singers. Saw someone asking for a translation: Here is a link to the sanskrit text along with English translation/explanation.vedantatattva.org/vedanta/docs/IshavasyaUpanishad.doc
The piece combines the initial Shanti Mantra on Page 3, Sloka 4, Sloka 15, Sloka 16, Sloka 17 and Sloka 18 I think.
Unfortunately, we do not have the lyrics in our archives.
Best
Pramod
Pramod Mathur Thank you ... thank you from the heart ... I am in love with this beautiful culture!
