Ichchheghungoor

“Nirvana Shatakam”
the timeless verses composed by Adi Shankaracharya, echo the eternal truth of Advaita — the realization that I am not the mind, nor the body… I am pure consciousness, Shivoham.

This particular musical rendition has been soulfully composed and choreographed by Dr. Dwaipayan Choudhury, and divinely rendered through the mesmerizing voice of Sreshthangsu Dutta. Payel basak and Dwaipayan's graceful performance and their artistry bring alive the depth of these sacred verses — serene, powerful, and transcendental.

With utmost reverence to the original creation, I have humbly re-choreographed this composition in my own expression, presenting it in the graceful language of Odissi. Through the sculptural movements, lyrical abhinaya, and rhythmic precision of this classical form, I attempt to translate philosophy into motion… silence into gesture… and self-realization into dance.

This is my offering — a prayer through movement, a surrender through rhythm.

As the music unfolds and the body dissolves into the spirit of the shloka, may we all experience that profound whisper of truth:

Chidananda Rupa Shivoham Shivoham…

“Nagendra Haraya Trilochanaya,
Bhasmanga Ragaya Maheshwaraya…”

In the stillness of the Himalayas and in the pulse of the cosmic rhythm resides Shiva — the ascetic, the dancer, the eternal flame of consciousness.

Adorned with serpents, crowned with the crescent moon, his third eye blazing with wisdom, he stands beyond creation and dissolution. The sacred ash upon his body speaks of detachment; the damaru in his hand echoes the first vibration of the universe.

This choreography is a humble offering at the feet of Mahadeva on this auspicious occasion of Maha Shivaratri —
Where movement becomes meditation,
Where rhythm becomes prayer,
Where every gesture whispers surrender.

May this dance awaken the inner stillness within us and remind us of the divine rhythm that flows through all existence.
