Achutamanasa, an impassioned danseuse,has a passion for social service.Her desire to share Indian classical arts with the next generation, especially for the downtrodden communities unable to afford it, led to the initiative of the programme “Kuchipudi-Mylife”–a free education campaign by Achutamanasa was started on August 15th,2010 when she happened to meet many Girl child left outs at children/state homes of Govt whom she considers as sisters- friends rather than students.

Thanx a ton for all your blessings dear art lovers & Well-Wishers and thanx a ton for buying our KUCHIPUDI NRITYABHINAYA VEDAM-MOKSHA MARGAM DVDS(vol1 &2) by which you are directly or indirectly supporting these girls for their art and social education, as you know the purpose of DVDs is to share the art to the posterity and also the profits earned through these dvds will be shared with the children of #Kuchipudi-mylife initiative whom achutamanasa has been teaching(Kuchipudi,painting&social studies) since 2010.So,Its our success on a whole.Keep blessing.
As Achutamanasa believes to Go where she is most needed rather than where she is most rewarded,she travels all the way to the children/statehomes of Govt and shares. Through this initiative more than 50 Children are taking access to this education that imparts wisdom along with knowledge. This programme initiative is dedicated in imparting wholesome and disciplined training in finearts education and as well as social education( from class I to X). She advocates Kuchipudi (arts)as not only a means of entertainment but as a mode of education and way of life that results in the well being of individuals and the nation ,which paves the way for wisdom where - there is only cooperation but no competition that promulgates the Peace of the world.
Keep loving Our Kuchipudi-Our classical arts of India.Whereever or whatever ,region doesnt matter.On the whole "it is the culture of India". And We Indians rather We 'humanbeings' shouldn’t forget our roots-our mother-our mother land-mother nature-mother culture!!We should rather ,say we must respect our culture and we will.Because, respecting our culture is respecting ourselves!
