About
It was with sadness and shock that I recently learnt about the passing away of my beloved dance Guru Shyamala Mohanraj. I was very fortunate to have Shyamala as my guru. My late father Jugaheesan R. Devar accompanied me to Chennai (Madras) in 1973. Today I believe that providence led my dad to Shyamala Akka who agreed to be my teacher of Bharatanatyam. Subsequently I learnt that Akka was a senior disciple of Balasaraswati. Shyamala took me under her tutelage as a private student. I was most fortunate and privileged to have lived with Akka at her home in Sastri Nagar in Chennai. Dance classes were held between 6am and 8am and in the evenings between 5pm and 8pm at the Madras Music Academy.
