Ambika Kameswar
About
Dr. Ambika came to Chennai in 1985, after
her marriage. She grew up in Delhi and later, during her college years,
in Bangalore. All the members of her family are staunch devotees of
Ramana Maharishi and even when she was in Bangalore, she was attached
to the Ramana Maharishi Academy for the Blind where she was invited to
teach dance to the visually impaired. Right from the time she was
small, Dr. Ambika was very much into music and dance and this helped
her to communicate with the people at the Academy. She taught
Bharathnatyam to the visually impaired - it might sound like an
Himalayan task but to
Dr. Ambika, who feels that dance is a communicative force, it was just
a brilliant way of communication. She would demonstrate each mudra and
her students would feel her hands and imitate the mudra perfectly. They
would measure her steps and do every single step she did without a
mistake! After coming to Chennai, she volunteered to teach dance at the
Spastic Society of Madras. She worked with people with cerebral palsy
and she started modifying her technique to suit their needs.
