3M With Shantha : Mobile App Series 9
In this special episode, Shantha introduces the Shall We Dance! mobile app, a digital companion for Bharatanatyam lovers worldwide.
She invites Ram into a reflective conversation on Chidambaram—the temple that stands as a cosmic observatory as much as a shrine.
Together, they explore how the Nataraja icon embodies the rhythm of the universe, where every mudra echoes celestial motion.
Ram elaborates on the Ardra Nakshatra and its alignment with the Chidambaram sanctum, linking dance with astronomy and time cycles.
Shantha highlights how the app offers guided videos, animations, and voice narration to bring these stories to life for learners of all ages.
They speak about how ancient seers encoded astronomical principles into the Tandava choreography.
Listeners get a glimpse into the science hidden in art and the philosophy hidden in motion. The duo emphasizes that Bharatanatyam is not just performance—it is perception, precision, and cosmic poetry.
As the episode closes, they introduce an exclusive video titled “Shiva, Nataraja and Vedic Astronomy”
Shantha signs off reminding listeners: “Download Shall We Dance! and rediscover divinity—one step, one story at a time.”
