Advaita in Arts, Music & Dance Advaita in Performance by Ms Rukmini Vijayakumar

[@satyu131089]

How can someone be so talented, so intelligent, so knowledgeable and yet so childlike? When she smiles, you also smile without realizing it.

[@abhaymanas391]

What grace, composure, and maturity!!! She is full of glow and radiance of knowledge! Accidentally landed on the video and initially, watched for her beauty...but then soon got captivated by her talk and the deep philosophy of linking classical Indian dance forms with Advaita

[@paramashivambu2270]

Really good understanding of Advaita. Such a talented girl. ❤

[@avantikaraina9483]

Your voice is so pure and soothing!!

[@crsrikumari]

Explaining Vedantic concepts in the art form you practice is an untouched topic predominantly. Learning that you were groomed by Swami Dayananda Saraswat Maharaj teachings makes me derive how you could be such a rare amalgam! Explaining Advaita in simplest terms of Ego and Witness or the Drashta and the roles played drives the philosophy into our understanding well. As always in adoration 🌷

Beautifully said.. “Knowing” and “understanding” are related concepts, but they’re not the same. Each is a distinct mental state involving cognitive grasp: Knowing is static, referring to discrete facts, while understanding is dynamic, describing the ability to analyze and place those facts in context to form a big picture. you showed the bigger picture to every one... great soul.. respect you mam

Bravo! you talk so openly about the love and the making, giving the real beautiful divine connection to it, that too at the oneness conference of Chinmaya. I think You should do more videos like this explaining the connection between dance and spirituality. You have good knowledge and deep insight about it and you express it so well. This is something hard to find from others.

You are really blessed to have these insights and to have experienced that oneness state. When you said "you cease to exist.....

[@nandakumaruk3669]

Great speech as her dancing; i was very much impressed by her statement that" You cannot Judge Ravana and act as Ravana together"; very much true. While we perform things we seldom judge ourselves, because we are one with our actions and there is no higher level from where we observe ourselves. Only when you detach mentally and emotionally from your own actions you can do that. That is the level of a Yogi. Again from the spiritual point of view every body is in the ladder of evolution, what ever be the present state of existence, because ultimately there is nothing other than Athman. All evils are the byproduct of ignorance or Maya. Only when the light of realization shines forth within evils end. Lastly i would love to add, the shortest-cut to spiritual experience is through performing arts. Even without the burdensome intellection it takes us to the supreme Rapture, even though it is transient. But that gives us an insight that such a level exists for every one to achieve.

[@eswarjosyula8891]

The thought process and the parallels that she is drawing is fascinating! I really learnt something. There was one aspect though that was not covered, perhaps for lack of time. That is, in each one of us there is the quality of raavana and the quality of raama as well. One can view the individual's (self) role in the advaita context (complete annihilation of one's ego) or as non-advaitic, meaning with a degree of duality where there is the false ego but not complete annihilation of ego. Bhakti saints have come in both advaitic thought (Thayagaraja, Kshetrayya) and non-advaitic (Annamcharya, Purandara Dasa). The other point is on witness as truth (sat). Where she draws the parallel of the witness as being present in the "third muktayam in the second svara", which I see this as a matter of muhurtham or timing coming from rhythms (in the universe). As witness is non-judgmental.

I kept wondering during the entire course of the video as to when she is going to talk about Advaita, but she never did. The disappearance of ego feeling or one pointed attention during the performance is mere dhyana or at the max samadhi experience of patanjali's ashtanga yoga and has nothing to do with Advaita Vedanta. I'm surprised how Indica titled this video as "Advaita"
