From the introduction: "Guru Kalanidhi–Expressing Dance, Expressing Life' is about this legend and her superspeciality, abhinaya. It is in part a personal history, whenever and wherever it connects to her dance career. It is also unavoidably an exploration of the time, place and family space she grew up in and was nurtured by, leading to a biography of sorts. In poring over the details of her life I began to see more than just one individual's journey. A picture of an era emerges from within the layers and between the lines of my exhaustive interviews specifically for this book, spread over many long sessions; and, of course, from my close association with and observation of an extraordinary personality for a period of more than thirty years.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Lakshmi Lal
Lakshmi Lal started viewing contemporary Indian art in the 50s when she moved from Chennai to live and work in Mumbai. It grew into a deep interest, almost as deep as her interest in ancient Indian myth, legend, philosophy and art. She is the author of The Warlis – Tribal Legends, The Ramayana, Ganesha – Beyond the Form, Shiva – Eye of the Storm, Myth and Me – The Indian Story. She has an M.A. in English from the Madras University and has been a life-long student of Sanskrit Language and Literature, focusing for the past two decades on Vedanta and related texts. She now resides in Bangalore.
