Sridevi Nrithyalaya's 'BRAHMASMI' explores the state of Brahman through the mediums of dance and drama.

Following the statements from our Vedas and Upanishads ,including the Bruhadhaaranyaka Upanishad and Mundakopanishad, Sridevi
Nrithyalaya's latest production, BRAHMASMI delves into a journey that touches upon Bhagavad Geetha, Brahma Soothra, Sankaraacharya's Aathma Bhodham and many more.

The non-dual aspect of our soul and the Brahman is as ancient as our Sanaathana Dharma with Sri Dakshinaamoorthy as the Aadhi Guru, preaching the Supreme Truth. Sridevi Nrithyalaya's BRAHMASMI is presented as an easy guide to learn and understand about Aatman and Brahman and the relationship between both. Aadhi Sankara's Shanmatham and Yoga Vasishtam are also incorporated in the production to emphasise the subject.

The lyrics for this production has been penned by Sri Padmadevan , making this highly philosophical subject easy to understand and internalise. Music has been composed by the violin maestro Embar Sri Kannan, whose composition has added a vibrant flavour to the production, making it appealing to all types of audience. Dance Choreography has been done by Smt. Sheela Unnikrishnan and the dance drama will be performed by 11 of her disciples.
