Ahe Nila Saila by Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra, Odissi Padma Vibhshan 1986 NYC

Did anyone notice, Guruji performed Muslim Namaaz in the beginning? I feel it is the poem written by the Muslim devotee named Salabega. If anyone differ from my view, please comment.

[@shinjineebhattacharya3631]

You are right , it was actually written by poet salo beg...

[@SharonLowen1]

The great Muslim devotee Salabega wrote this asking for a glimpse of Jagannath as he was not permitted inside the mandir.. There are Muslim devotees still who participate in Rath Yatra when Jagannath and siblings leave the temple for all to have Darshan. Google him to learn more

Wow... What a master piece... Thank you so much for sharing.... Do you have a full Museum on guruji... I am amazed to see guruji's Performances on youtube... How lucky i am that I'm getting a chance to watch him dance... Thank you so much... And secoundly i can Definitely say that people have Modified this item to an Extreme level.. Now days abhinayas are full of Unnecessary Ornamental movement and extra dance rhythm...i hv seen many performing this abhinaya item. .. Have seen dance in both guru deba prasad sir's style and guru kelu sir's style both are brilliantly choreographed.. But nowdays gurus are adding their own flavours which not at all able to deliver an earthy odian flavored abhinaya...look how guruji Established pandava's.. No one is teaching there students about how to establish a character even though there is a shortage of stage time.guruji took just few secounds to establish arjun, bhim and yudhisthir... I am a fan of odissi, cant say myself an odissi dancer by learning a few items of odissi.. But i am a strong viewer and observer and definitely have a right to judge as a viewer... So as a viewer and odia, i am missing these pure items, and request all gurus to to please maintain realism,earthy,traditional and an odian flavour.

[@SharonLowen1]

I agree with you about his wonderful performance. This is a choreography that lends itself to individual interpretations in the sancharis and was differenct when done first by Kum Kum Mohanty and later by Sanjukta Panigraphi. each artist brings their own personality and interpretive abilities and I find that I enjoy more than one way but I am happy to share these videos of Kelubabu so that students/performers can be better aware of options.

Great to see the Great Master of Odissi himself perform this masterpiece. I admire his fine body physique and fluid movements even at his age. IMHO, fat and overweight dancers are stiff and clumsy; they're a pain to watch and do not do justice to the beauty of the Odissi dance form.

[@SharonLowen1]

Absolutely true, Guruji played mardala throughout which was better for pectorals than going to the gym and he wasn’t a “sitting” teacher. He had perfect proportions and fluidity in his movement style which was not diminished by age. However he was stiffer as happens with age but never clumsy. Weight does not make a dancer lose abhinaya or necessarily become clumsy, but it is not as aesthetic

Recently I just listen classical Indian music and practice Indian dance, particularly in Odissi music and dance. I just fall in love in its interesting sacred history. You can watch one of my Odissi practice: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2fEopmeo5uGrtE. I’m still learning and proving it every day. In China, we have Dunhuang dance which is inspired from Hindu Buddhism a lot, even though the music and movement are quite different.

@@zhanggrace833 I'll watch your practice video .I'm a Maths student .And I appreciate your love and respect for our traditions and you are right that we should take pride and protect our heritage but it isn't as easy as you seem to think . Due to poverty and subjugation of this part of the world, the condition has become so worse that an average Indian cannot even differentiate between what is odissi or what is Bharatnatyam or many other dance forms Lest taking pride in them .... I showed my friend the sculptures of a woman carved in temple walls and he didn't ever believe that it was Indian 😔, the younger generation can't even recognize their own style of architecture from different parts of the country . I hope with the increase in the number of foreign practitioners , the Indian youth may take some interest in these ancient dance forms ..... I'm part of the same generation thanks to the internet that I became aware about this and that opened a window of knowledge and heritage that I never thought existed before .....it was nice talking to you. Love from the Himalayas in India ♥️.
