In his address Sri Rajam said: 4 THE JOURNAL OF THE MADRAS MUSIC ACADEMY [V o l. XLVIII “ Ladies and Gentlemen, We are gathered here today on a historic occasion, namely, the Golden Jubilee Conference of the Music Academy. 1 have called it ‘historic’ because fifty years of unstinted activity and growth for any institution is indeed a remarkable achievement. The seeds of the Music Academy, as most of you here know, were sown at the time of the Madras Session of the Indian National Congress in 1927 and today it has grown and acquired the status of a premier insti­ tution of its kind, not only in India but throughout the world. We can, therefore, look back with justifiable pride and happiness. I must say that this growth and solid achievement are not a matter of chance. It is the cumulative result of the inspiration and guidance provided by successive Presidents and office bearers; the co-operation of musicians; and the encouragement of the music- loving public. While I would like to take this golden opportunity to pay a tribute to all these destinguished personalities in general, I would particularly refer to the first President of the Academy, Dr. U. Rama Rao, a devoted Congressman of those days and the Presi­ dent of the Legislative Council in the first Congress Ministry in Madras.

  • Bharatanatyam: Eroticism, Devotion, and a Return to Tradition
    BHARATANATYAM: EROTICISM, DEVOTION, AND A RETURN TO TRADITION A THESIS Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Religion In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Taylor Steine May/2016 Page 1! of 34! Abstract The classical Indian dance style of Bharatanatyam evolved out of the sadir dance of the devadāsīs. Through the colonial period, the dance style underwent major changes and continues to evolve today. This paper aims to examine the elements of eroticism and devotion within both the sadir dance style and the contemporary Bharatanatyam. The erotic is viewed as a religious path to devotion and salvation in the Hindu religion and I will analyze why this eroticism is seen as religious and what makes it so vital to understanding and connecting with the divine, especially through the embodied practices of religious dance. Introduction Bharatanatyam is an Indian dance style that evolved from the sadir dance of devadāsīs. Sadir has been popular since roughly the 6th century. The original sadir dance form most likely originated in the area of Tamil Nadu in southern India and was used in part for temple rituals. Because of this connection to the ancient sadir dance, Bharatanatyam has historic traditional value. It began as a dance style performed in temples as ritual devotion to the gods. This original form of the style performed by the devadāsīs was inherently religious, as devadāsīs were women employed by the temple specifically to perform religious texts for the deities and for devotees. Because some sadir pieces were dances based on poems about kings and not deities, secularism does have a place in the dance form.
