History Of Kalakshetra

Thursday, 7 June 20121comments




Kalakshetra was established in 1936 after the extraordinary success of Rukmini Devi's first performance of Bharata Natyam at the Theosophical Society, in Adyar, a suburb of Madras, in the South of India. The founding members, Rukmini Devi, her husband George Arundale, and their associates at the Theosophical Society, were deeply committed to Theosophy and an arts academy was an extension
of this commitment. The academy
was also symbolic of the struggle
for India's independence; it was to culturally revive a country that was losing its identity under British rule.
The name Kalakshetra was suggested by Pandit S. Subramania Sastri, a Sanskrit scholar and member of the academy. His granddaughter S. Sarada was
one of the first students. She,
along with Radha, Rukmini Devi's niece, Leelavati, A. Sarada, and Anandi, granddaughter of Kalki Krishnamurti, were among the first to join Kalakshetra, then located
in the Theosophical Society's grounds. D. Pashupati, Raman and Lakshmanan began studying music, and soon more students followed.
