winds of change

ChristopherGurusamy_NGS_46.jpg

Vāyu - wind, breath and the vital life force (prāṇa), the invisible energy that animates all living beings. A symbol of Freedom, Intellect, Hope and Change 

 

Vāyu is revered as a source of strength, courage, and unwavering devotion, the guardian of the northwest direction. The wind is the silent observer of the worlds, as a Deva in Hinduism, he embodies movement and vitality. The father of Hanuman

 

This work was premiered at Narada Gana Sabha as part of Natyarangams Pancha Bhootha Bharatham in 2026  and was created by Christopher Gurusamy and Vignesh Ishwar in collaboration with Sri Sudarsini Iyer, Sumesh Narayanan, L Ramakrishnan, and Mylai Karthikeyan

 

It explores Vayu in all of its forms

“The core idea… to foster a creative exchange between Carnatic vocalists and Bharatanatyam dancers, found perfect expression in a collaboration between Christopher and Vignesh Ishwar.”

— The Hindu, 26 August 2026
