Nataraja Ramakrishna's teacher (Rajamma of
the Devadasi tradition from Sri Kalahasti) taught him to
attune his voice with the tinkling noise that
reverberated in the temple precincts when the temple
pillar was struck with a stone. This helped him in
later years to work on the "vibration theory" of sound
and its impact on dance. ('Nataraja Ramakrishna: Crusader and Visionary' by M. Nagabhushana Sarma, Nartanam, Oct– Dec 2016) |
