Anoushka Shankar - In Her Name

[@fugithegreat]

You can truly feel the desperate, unhinged rage in the sitar and dance. What a brilliant performance!

[@avantiadivarekar2604]

I watched this live in Bangalore, India in December and it sounded DOUBLE the emotions with her whole band!

didn’t know someone could shred on a sitar until today. wonderful performance

[@beckstheimpatient4135]

She is a true master, as was her father before her.

[@jas_bataille]

You know, "shredding" is just the latest version of virtuosity. It's nothing new, and Sitar soloists are extreme virtuosos. Indian musicians as a whole - the training and dedication is intense. The most amazing thing is, to this day most women aren't allowed to follow this traditional path. Thanks to her father who went against this stupid rule, we can all appreciate this majestic performance!

[@tortis6342]

@@jas_batailleshredding isn’t JUST virtuosity, it also carries a connotation of being very rapid, passionate, and intense. Which, depending on the instrument, doesn’t necessarily require great skill.

[@libinthathappilly]

IN HER NAME What do you call the ashes of a girl if not sacred? When the embers are cradled by the wind, do the gods cry for what could have been? If it is cruel hands that have taken a life, why then do we forget the injustice? Instead, let us collect as sisters in mourning. Let our Fury echo through the pages of history. Do not let this death be quiet, like all the thousands before it. Time cannot devour what we will not allow to be forgotten. So do not forget her name; Remember her. Remember every girl like her who was lost to us. Every girl who prayed to a god that abandoned her. Call your rage something holy; Call it the best incarnation you have ever known. Make the goddess of justice we all deserve; The kind of divinity we can all truly believe in. Carve a temple made of a fire, which never dies until we are all… safe. Let the wind take these embers, these ashes, and Build a goddess of wildfire, in her name ♥

[@ChaosGummyBears]

She is so right about anger especially in politics. I love this perspective of making it holy because so many times we can get wrapped up in our anger and our own righteousness that it becomes self destructive. This video reminds me to be safe when using anger as a tool, embody justice not war.

Women are an impersonification of the divine feminine, Shakti. The force of nature, Prakriti (the entire exterocepted world). The force of shrishti (creation/manifestation) Maya. Carrying the potential of motherhood and infinite love. Justice will be served in due time, and societies where they are served faster will be prosperous and happy.

I strongly disagree with the notion of this applying to the repressed feminine within men. That spirit or nature already possess a vehicle for expression through the power commonly found within the divine masculine. Patriarchal power structures demonstrate this in my eyes.
