The Gold Series: Chapter 8 - M. Sneha
I am M. Sneha, born and raised in Hyderabad. After my father's demise, my mother became the sole breadwinner of our family. Amidst the financial struggles at home, an opportunity to join Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Mandir, Moosapet in Hyderabad came as a ray of hope for which I will always remain grateful.I joined this institution at a young age of eight. Here, I got introduced to the divine art of dance, an interest initially, that soon grew into a profound passion. After completing my 10th grade, I joined Sri Sathya Sai Prashanthi Niketanam, Kondapaka Campus for PUC, where I chose a combination of subjects, but my heart yearned to pursue dance. The University's decision to start a Bachelor's Program in Performing Arts was a dream come true. Though I had begun learning dance at 11, my understanding of it transformed after joining the course and relating it to the ancient Indian wisdom taught in our university. This broadened my vision and helped me connect dance with divinity. I have been fortunate to learn from eminent scholars and legendary gurus like Dr. Padma Subramanyam and Smt. Revathi Ramachandran. These opportunities strengthened me as a seeker of the art and as an individual, enabling me to participate in competitions at zonal and national levels and bringing laurels to the institution.
Our revered founder, Sri Madhusudan Sai's mission of ""One World One Family"" has inspired me to contribute by pursuing my passion, sharing knowledge, and preserving the culture of dance and its essence."
