In this episode, Bhawana Somaaya is joined by Mohiniattam dancer, Mandakini Trivedi

Mandakini Trivedi is a unique dance personality whose quest for Truth through Art has taken her to frontiers beyond the Form. An accomplished performer, teacher, choreographer in the style of Mohini Attam, and writer on Dance Aesthetics, her chief work is in the understanding, teaching and spreading the art of Indian Dance as a complete Yoga rooted in subtle yogic principles. Mandakini owes this vision entirely to her spiritual mentor Swami Shri Harish Madhukar.

As the Creative Head of the Nateshvari Dance gurkul, she trains young dancers to perform with a deep awareness of the yoga of Indian dance and the awareness that Indian dance is a means of self-evolution. She travels within India and abroad to share this vision of Dance not just for dancers but for all allied disciplines like Design, Architecture, Film & Animation, deconstructing classical Indian Dance to reveal its encyclopedic form that is steeped in principles of Indian thought & philosophy(Yoga)
