Touring the US Fall 2026:

What does it mean to be ‘Mad’ with devotion?

Step into the world of Janabai and Lal Ded—two mystic poets who defied the constraints of their time to surrender fully to the Divine.

Janabai (13th Century): The Marathi poet-saint of the Warkari tradition who found God in the form of Vitthala.

Lal Ded (14th Century): The Kashmiri Shaivaite yogini who sought the Divine in the formless absolute.

Though their paths diverged—one through the heart of devotion, the other through the intensity of tantra—both women transformed their personal hardships into a legacy of spiritual liberation.

Experience this duality brought to life through the exquisite choreography of Rama Vaidyanathan, performed by Rama and Sannidhi Vaidyanathan.

Choreography: RAMA VAIDYANATHAN
Music for Janabai: Sudha Raghuraman
Music for Lalded: Dr. S. Vasudevan
Rhythmic Composition: K. Sivakumar

Commissioned by the Mad and Divine Festival, curated by Anita Ratnam.

Love is ♥️

She spoke her truth. Her existence was hidden behind closed doors and muffled screams. Being born a woman was all that she had done wrong...

But when she spoke, centuries old strongholds of privilege fell, the powerbrokers of her time were expelled from society, the king almost abdicated...

Her words were sharp and to the point. She had meticulous records of everything she spoke. It was hard to prove her wrong. She had endured so much ugliness that even today her name is not uttered amongst her people. But because of what she had gone through, and because of the circumstances that led her to speak precisely and deliberately about her unimaginable sufferings that began at the age of 9; we the women of Kerala, have much to be grateful for towards her. Today, even though we are from a state that prides itself for its high rates of education and women's empowerment, we still need to cling on to stories like those of our foremothers and daughters of the soil who have given up and lost everything to liberate us, least that we forget the wars they fought for us. We have to continue to be vigilant about the dangers of silencing women's voices. We have to make sure that another Thatri will not suffer in the darkness of greed, lust and power... that our children should forever be safe and happy and protected by those around them... that we have the courage to speak up and act when we have to... that we are aware of our dark pasts and that we learn to acknowledge it and promise forever that another child should not have to live in fear...

The Emergence is part of the EPIC WOMEN festival and has been commissioned and curated by and and will be aired on March 4 & 5th only.

I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to all who arrived to watch Rukmini Vijayakumar perform in person. This was a huge moment as far as I was concerned as 'Talattu' was the first show that Tat Tvam Asi was producing and showcasing LIVE in front of our Austin audience since 2019 and it was quite an interesting challenge since we presented 2 SHOWS (!!!) on the same night to be followed by a 3 day Masterclass series with Rukmini! No easy feat by any standards!

Thank you all so much for supporting the arts in Austin. There are so many ways that you can support art organizations like Tat Tvam Asi but nothing means more than when you can arrive in person and truly engage with the magic of a live performance! So thank you so much for your support and patronage of Tat Tvam Asi !

You can continue to support our lovely artist, Rukmini by purchasing her book ' Finding Shiva ' available on Amazon! I'm attaching the link to the book below as well as on our bio!

Finding Shiva: An Inner Journey of the Performative Experience https://a.co/d/ilfF4vy

Till we meet again, keep dancing and supporting the arts!
Gratefully yours,

There are so many reasons why I love but the one reason why I still stay connected to this art form is because of some amazing souls in the dance fraternity. You learn a lot from simply watching some special people go about conducting the business of life with poise, elegance, intelligence, humility, exceptional hard work, courage, honesty, perseverance, generosity ... ufff I can go on... at those moments when I've felt low, I've always turned to dance and music to help me rise above personal challenges & to find a reason to keep pushing forward. I look around me and feel blessed everyday that I'm surrounded and protected by the overwhelming stories of inspiration lived by my dance community! My

Dancers are not just a pretty bunch of humans who create beautiful shapes with their bodies in space. They are amongst the kindest and strongest people I hv met to date. My heart fills with joy as I think of each and every one of my dearest dancer souls who continue to work hard to create and inspire and give hope to the world around them... & I'm so happy that one such beautiful soul is soon traveling into Austin ♥️ Rukmini Vijayakumar ♥️ Can't wait to watch you create Magic LIVE again dearest one!

I am truly happy that I am rejuvenating Tat Tvam Asi's commitment to bringing extraordinary dancers to Austin after a break of 2.5 year; with my dearest Rukmini. We were to work together back in Spring of 2020 when Covid struck and all plans suddenly fell apart! The world changed overnight. However, it now feels like time just stood still. And we are back again... for how long nobody knows! The present moment is all that matters. Who knows what's going to happen tomorrow. So right now I'm going to celebrate the blessing that is to be able to watch a live performance! So Yay to dancing again! Yay to being able to feel the energy generated by the dancer pulsate across shared spaces. Yay to be able to hear the rise and fall of the breath & heartbeats of the souls around you as you remain engrossed by the artistry of the dancer! Yay to being almost human again! ♥️

If you happen to be in the US in the month of June, 2022 - do consider visiting us in Austin & join us celebrate ♥️
