सूत्रात्मन्
a soul which passes like a thread through the universe….
Sūtrātman
The luminous threads of Gandhi
A Dance-Music-Narrative with Multi-Media
As a tribute to the luminous soul and enlightened mind that showed us the path of peace and that illuminated our journey towards weaving the threads of compassion, forgiveness, truth, faith and divinity.
Sūtrātman meaning ‘a soul which passes like a thread through the universe’ is a humble attempt to explore and re-interpret the deeper meaning of thread (Sūtra) through narratives from Indian Cultural traditions and its innate power to ‘connect’, ‘inter-connect’ and ‘weave’ various entities; be it thoughts, faiths, inspirations, or the people. A hand-spun thread is not just a showcase of skill, but stands as a symbol of eternal continuity, cyclic journeys of existential experiences, and of our time-honoured faith system. When Mahatma Gandhi made Khadi (hand-spun hand-woven fabric) his mace to confront the invading forces, he essentially looked at the intrinsic value of a thread – supple, delicate, but with a potential to emerge as a vast integrated canvas of harmonious co-existence. Thoughts and ideologies like faith, peace, resolution, ‘bhakti’, austerity, courage, and collective consciousness seem to appear as threads – each in a different form and colour, and ultimately re-emerging as a fabric of eternity that initiates a journey ‘within’, a journey ‘together’ and a journey ‘beyond’ like a thread which passes through the universe. Such a soul walked this earth, this planet and touched many souls and like thread, wove their consciousness towards the path of light!
Sūtrātman was performed in 2019-20 as part of 150 years celebrations of Gandhiji at MGM, Nehru Center (Mumbai), Sangeet Natak Akademi & Culture Ministry.
This is the first performance of Mahagami Ensemble after 18 months. Please attend and share widely.

Greetings from MAHAGAMI GURUKUL Centre for Performing Arts, MGM University.





Janaaya, meaning ‘for the people’ has been one of our initiatives at MAHAGAMI right from inception. Engaging various sections of society with the message and journey of arts, imparting arts eucation to the deprived, facilitating healing/experiential sessions for the differently abled and supporting arts and artists have been the focal points of our initiatives. With the lockdown, lakhs of artists are financially impacted and so in our own humble way, we are working towards creating a sustainable ecosystem for them. In this direction, the fee collected through this workshop will also be diverted to supporting needy artists / students. Also a counselling center to help artists in distress is being created at Mahagami.
We are happy to organise a 5-day Online Theatre Workshop under ‘RANGAAYAN’ series with the leading Natya expert Piyal Bhattacharya from 16 to 20 July 2020, 6-8 pm IST. The workshop is conceived as an opportunity to share some information about the Natyashastric tradition of Indian Theatre, its salient features and to learn and experience this profound system of Purvaranga, Vaachik Abhinaya (dialogue, speech, song, narration), Movement-expressions and the holistic system of sanctification of Rangamanch (performance space), creation through body, speech, metaphors and symbols. Through a series of workshops, we seek to create and present a Theatrical presentation with the participants.
Understanding ‘Natya’, Drama, Theatre | Movements as tools of Enactment | Voice Modulation | Narrating a passage |
Understanding Abhinaya |
Online sessions will be through an interactive Online platform – Zoom.
