"After several years of irregular and un-structured
practice of Bharatnatyam, I stumbled upon a performance by the students of Kaladiksha. I enrolled immediately and one and half years later, I believe I have finally found a structured and disciplined program that has helped me continuously learn and progress in building my own repertoire. Kaladiksha's dedicated teachers and Padmashri Meenakshi Chitharanjan's personal attention have ensured that I steadily improve at every aspect of the Pandanallur style of Bharatnatyam which in its every movement demands grace and fluidity. Kaladiksha lays emphasis on providing plenty of opportunities for its students to perform on stage, to build theoretical knowledge of the form thereby enabling me and other students to become better performers. What truly makes every class a joy is knowing that at the end of it, I am one step closer at being a better dancer."

"It amazes me to think that 10 years have already passed since I began learning at Kaladiksha. From the moment I walked into the studio surrounded by lush nature and heard the nattuvangam, I felt the simultaneous serenity and power that I associate with dance exuding from the very environment. The collective ensemble of students and teachers reflected this integration with nature, as I grew to develop a close relationship with my Gurus that became an innate part of my experience as a dancer. However, the time I was living in India amounts to barely 2 years. I have truly been fortunate as I was able to visit Chennai during my summers throughout middle and high school, absorbing as much as Meenakshi Aunty and Pandian Sir determined would be appropriate for maximal improvement and growth for me. Moreover, meeting with my guru outside of India a few times further solidified my learning from the summers. Dance is an art form that I treasure, and I attribute my connection to it to the constant support of all my Gurus."

"“Matha Pitha Guru Deivam” – This is not just the order of hierarchy in which one should respect these entities , beyond that I think it also signifies the roles of these entities in our lives. 
A father combines the role of a mother and father , a guru encompasses the roles of parents and guides the student as a teacher and God assumes the role of all three precedents. 

For me and many of my colleagues , Meenakshi aunty has been a great guru and has assumed the role of our parents at many times. It is a big privilege to be associated with Kaladiskha for the past 20 years of my life. 
Kaladiksha has enriched my love and passion for Bharatanatyam. The institution has also groomed my personality and has contributed to my self confidence , team work , creativity and perseverance which has helped me significantly in academic and professional front. 

Beyond teaching , our Guru has always encouraged our originality and valued our inputs. This has helped us develop creativity and better understanding of the art. I always felt the spiritual connection while dancing to her choreographies and feel the dance as an offering to God.  It is soulful to experience such good qualitative art form and divinity all at once. On Kaladiksha entering the 25th  year , I would like to thank Meenakshi aunty for being such a wonderful guru and for her service to this art form."

"“Kalasikaha my second home ! Apart from getting the best training of the Pandanallur style of Bharatanatyam Kaladiksha has made me a better and  happier person. Kaladiksha has taught me to love dance and dance for the sheer joy of dancing!!! Kaladiksha played a very big role in my spiritual base, insight into the scriptures in Hinduism and my all round personality development.
I am extremely happy that Kaladiksha is opening its doors to the entire world and urge everyone to give it a try!"
