Vaatsalyam – In Philosophy, Life and Dance

By: Ramaa Venugopalan

Parenting is tough; and even tougher is dharmik parenting, ensuring that impressionable growing minds take root in dharma and safeguarding them from the winds of trends that are sweeping the world.
One's own belief system, and complete sharanagti to one's ishta is a powerful tool and support in such a situation. Classical dancer Smt. Ramaa Venugopalan captures her tryst with dharmik parenting; and the support her belief in Mahalakshmi-Narayana, and her bharatanatyam background have provided her in her journey as a mother to explore and understand the depths of Vaatsalyam.
