_______________
It is that time of the year. And once again, the family and friends of Kalarigram come together to hold space for the words, wisdom, worship and ritual of Tantrotsav.
Tantrotsav is a community-organised festival, held over 9 days leading to Mahashivaratri. It becomes a safe-space for artists, researchers,teachers, practitioners, seekers across various geographies and disciplines to come together to exchange, express and meditate.
In its sixth edition, Tantrotsav, hopes to delve deeper into the philosophy and various practices of Tantra, Natyashastra, Kalaripayattu, Ayurveda and Yoga. Experientially. With the body-mind, heart and spirit.
The spiritual is not separate from the practical. Although, it can offer a different, unmediated perspective. In these times, in this now, we are undeniably wrestling with newer complexities and conflicts. Hence, Tantrotsav is also a stepping back to retrace roots, and examine independently, the practises of various eastern and western sciences and philosophies. To explore new meanings, new possibilities, alternative depictions of fulfilling coexistence.
We warmly invite you to this flow. The dates this year are Feb 5-13.
May we together blur boundaries of concrete definitions, go past labels and separations. May we support and listen to each other with kindness. Grow lighter.
Shanti.
Lakshmanan Gurukkal
